How Liposomal Formulation Helps The Medical Field

By Linda Ruiz


If you compare a liposome and a normal cell, you cannot see any difference. This is the reason why it is widely used in the medical and science fields. It can also be used in various ways depending on the target. Like most cells, they tend to have a very identical cell wall which commonly known as lipids.

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.

Commonly, this kind of modernized cell is used as a carrier of medicines which will target a specific cell in our body to heal it. Keep in mind that this not always the case, it can also be used to carry DNA, vaccines and whatsoever. Usually, this can be done by injecting it into the body.

In the scientific field, more specifically the genetic field, use this to carry DNA. Once the DNA is carried into an individual it can then begin to alter the DNA in a safer way. Before, to make this possible you need to inject some kind of virus to the patient to the job. Aside from that, DNAs that are damaged can also be replaced through this.

Though medicine and the scientific field are greatly affected with this wonderful discovery, cosmetics are also doing their best as well to make use of the substance. You might not know notice it, but this substance is in our everyday moisturizer. Companies that are too proud about it, even put a big label of liposome in their product. This will greatly help them gain more customers as well as a huge amount of profit.

Most individual but not all, tend to eat foods that are not too nutritious. But we cannot deny that, most of these foods even though not that healthy, taste very good. Since this is inevitable, a lot of individuals take food supplements to supply the needs of their body. Most conventional supplements are tablet made but if you prefer for a more effective one, a liposome based vitamins are good for you.

Even though tablet is not that costly, you will still suffer with its effectiveness. Most of the time, it will take effect for about an hour which is not good especially if you have some kind of illness that needs medication in real time. This kind of restrictions is eliminated mostly by liposom.

No matter what form of medication we opt for, it is always a wise decision to eat properly with the proper foods. You can ask professionals about it so that they can give you advices and at the same time provide you a perfect diet plan. In cases wherein you need immediate medication, you can ask your doctor about liposome and see how it works for you.
