Liposomal Encapsulation Has Really Improved Modern Medicine

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.

A liposome is a circular vesicle made up of double layers and is liquid filled bubbles made from phospholipids. These are then used as a means of transportation for administering certain thick pharmaceutical drugs and nutrients. These drugs are a chemical substance made as a single active ingredient. They are normally packed in separate single packs and are used for external, internal as well as for all treatments, cures, and medical identifications.

The normal method when taking these in tablet, liquid or even powders form many do not get processed by the body therefore not getting absorbed like they should. These liposomes are made from essential phospholipids helping to protect the nutrient from getting destroyed by the digestive juices. There is a much higher success rate when used this way that the vitamin will be directed into the bloodstream and therefore into the cells.

There is speculation that using anticancer drugs in this way will help deliver the drug to the malignant tissue and not the whole body. It is an ongoing experiment in the oncology division. Encapsulating this drug is expected to provide better safety as well as effectiveness. Taking the normal cancer drug is a sure way of feeling ill as it kills good cells in an effect to get to the diseased ones.

All cancer cells tend to divide much quicker than the healthy cells and chemotherapy drugs are effective in targeting them. Even the fast growing healthy cells will be damaged in the process. With all the different cancer drugs out there just about every one of them has some bad side effects.

Nitrobenzene is an organic compound and is water insoluble yellow oil that has an odour similar to almonds. Once it is frozen they will become more of a greenish yellow crystal. When this compound is made on a bigger scale it changes from benzene to aniline. Occasionally when used in the laboratories they are used as a solvent.

Having been diagnosed with cancer a blood count is done which is a very important part of the therapy. This is because they can harm the cells that are situated in the bone marrow, where blood is produced. Everyone knows that the red blood cells are the ones that ensure that oxygen is delivered to the tissues. Without this one can get anaemia which can make one feel exhausted.

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.
