Tips On Why Liposome Improves Drug And Nutrient Absorption

By Wanda Vaughn


Since the 1970s, liposomes have been used by medical professionals to deliver medication directly to the area or organ where it is needed. It was also discovered that liposomes provided a slow release effect, which lowered the adverse affects of some medications, especially cancer treatments. More recently, liposomes have been utilized in the cosmetic and nutrient supplement industries, since it was discovered that liposome technology greatly increases the absorption of nutrients.

A liposome is described as a fluid-filled pouch, microscopic in size, which has phospholipids in its walls. These phospholipids are identical to those found naturally in cell membranes throughout the body. Liposomes can directly deliver substances to the cells and into the blood stream much more efficiently than the body is able to on its own.



The lipids that are used to create the liposome molecules are made of fatty substances such as is found in lecithin. These substances are what the cells use for repairing membranes and replacing cells. Cell walls are degraded by free radicals and toxins in the environment which affects the absorption of oxygen and nutrients. Liposomal delivery improves the very cells which are the basis of every part of the body.

Liposomes are now used in the treatment of several life-threatening health problems, with good effect. Included in this list are autism, congestive heart disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimers, Parkinsons and other age-related diseases.

Many nutrients and drugs are not absorbed very efficiently by the body and a liposome delivery system greatly enhances this absorption. For example, Co enzyme Q10 has an average absorption rate of three to five percent but when combined with a liposome, this increases to an incredible 90 percent or more.

Liposomal Encapsulation Technology is the name given to the technique of using these liposomes to get the required nutrient or medication to the targeted area in the body. Oral supplements and medicines might be broken down as they pass through the digestive tract, meaning that the full strength does not each the blood stream to be carried to where it is needed. This also means that the strength of the dose can be reduced with no loss of efficacy, also saving money and medical resources.

Supplementing with vitamin C is a good example of how well LET works. This vitamin is acknowledged as a powerful anti-oxidant and has been shown to be an effective treatment in a range of health issues. Vitamin C cannot be made in the human body so it must be taken in with food or supplements. Unfortunately, oral supplements of vitamin C have a very low rate of absorption and assimilation. Prior to LET, intravenous injection was the only way to get the high dosage and better absorption of vitamin C that was required. LET delivers the vitamin straight to the cells where it is needed and there are no adverse side-effects.

Nutrition companies have started to use LET in some of their oral dietary and nutritional over-the-counter supplements. Check out what is available in the liposome technology when shopping for supplements. Do some research into how to make your own liposome nutritional supplements yourself at home.
