Effective Modern Medication With Liposomal Formulation

By Linda Ruiz


Liposomes are a microscopic sac which is commonly developed in a laboratory. It contains an outer wall which is comprised of lipids. These lipids are very much identical to those who comprise our cell walls. Having this attribute allows it to interact with the cells directly. There are a bunch of applications for it, this includes medications that has a specific target and genetics research.

The father of this modern technology is Alec Bangham. He is a British researcher and is constantly observing human cells. In 1961, he discovered liposome and is continually doing research about it. On top of that, a bunch of researchers emerged trying to develop a new liposomal formulation that can somehow benefit our standard way of medication as well as to improve our genetics studies.

The name liposome comes from the Greek word, Lipos which means fat and Soma meaning body. It can be created in various forms and sizes depending on the purpose. Also, the name only relates to its building block which is phospholipids and not necessarily its size.

Think about liposome as a carrier. This microscopic matter can be filled with different kinds of substances including DNA, medications and so on. Most of time, it is manually injected to an individual. The carrier will then move through the cells like a normal cell and target the specific part or organ of the body. In this manner, the drugs will be more effective.

In laboratory experiments, these carriers are used to transport new DNA information to a certain living thing. By doing this, they can modify the DNA structure in a safer manner compared to using a virus. This method can also be used in gene therapy, the procedure wherein the DNA is repaired or replaced.

This is not only used for medicine and science alone, it also shows up in cosmetics. These are very effective for moisturizers, increasing the efficiency of the product and strength. Because of its well known advantage, it is used as an advertising point for a product. Letting the user know that their product composed of a highly effective substance.

Typically, most people do not eat the right food for their body. We are more accustomed to the things we think is delicious but we do not consider its health benefits. To solve the issue, we can take a food supplement to replace the insufficient nutrients our body needs. And these supplements cannot be that effective without the use liposome.

In fact, liposomes tend to have higher absorption compared to the tablet ones. Which basically suggest that, if you take in vitamins and food supplements via the liposom then it is quickly absorbed by the body and take effect right after that. Although, a tablet may not cost that much compared to it.

Health is our wealth and keeping our body healthy is our job. If you might consider buying this kind of medicine, ensure that it is prescribed by a doctor. This will give you an idea on what is the perfect medicine for you.
