Liposomal Encapsulation Can Serve To Make Medicines More Effective

By Ida Dorsey


Liposomes improved the effects of the medication you use. Liposomal encapsulation is a form of nutrients that are protected by a thin membrane. They are very similar substances that make up ones cell allowing the nutrients to pass through the membranes in one piece and ready to work. This form of technology is not like pills and powder that one tends to take which tend to get flushed from the body.

The founder Mr Brooks Bradley showed that by combining water, lecithin and vitamin c together and then adding this little mixture to an ultrasonic bath it can produce a medical product. A simple recipe on how to make liposomes involves lecithin getting dissolved in a solvent. This could be chloroform or acetone and then once it has evaporated it will leave a thin layer on the container.

When ultrasonic waves are produced the sound waves then break up the lipids causing the liposome to trap the watery drug. Working outside a laboratory helps to save money and also improve one's health. There is a book available that will help those budding scientists to create this new technology themselves.

The reason that people need to have vitamin C in their diet is because it helps to protect the cells from damage that is caused by free radicals. These radicals make their way through the body into the cells causing tissue damage, some diseases as well as aging. They are very unstable and in order to survive need to bond with other molecules which will damage the healthier ones even more.

The actual specimen will not be touched but the background will be left stained and easier to see. It can also be done with a positive staining and in this way only the specimen will be stained. The ink used is called nigrosin and is a mix of synthetic dyes which are made up by heating a mixture of nitrobenzene, aniline hydrochloride with some copper or iron catalyst.

The factors that play a role when it comes to the side effects can be ones age, lifestyle as well as the treatment they are getting and health issues before getting sick. In some cases once the treatment has ended so the side effects will diminish but in a few cases it will never go away. Some of these drugs are so strong that they affect the cells in the digestive tract, mouth, bone marrow as well as the hair follicles and reproductive system.

A recent study shows that liposomal vitamin C is more able to produce serum levels at a much higher dose than though possible. It dramatically increases the absorption into the blood and thereby into individual cells. This process lasts from the time the vitamin has made its way towards the gastrointestinal tract until it has reached the targeted tissue.

If liposomal encapsulation works so well for the transportation of nutrients one can only hope that it might also be successful for transporting life saving drugs to those afflicted with cancer and many other illnesses as well. The drugs will not affect the white blood cells which results in neutropenia. They are a crucial part in keeping the immune system healthy enough to fight off infections.
