 Definition of a Liposome


A liposome is a spherical vesicle having at least one lipid bilayer. The liposome can be used as a vehicle for administration of nutrients and pharmaceutical drugs. Liposomes can be prepared by disrupting biological membranes (such as by sonication).


Liposomes are most often composed of phospholipids, especially phosphatidylcholine, but may also include other lipids, such as egg phosphatidylethanolamine, so long as they are compatible with lipid bilayer structure. A liposome design may employ surface ligands for attaching to unhealthy tissue.


The major types of liposomes are the multilamellar vesicle (MLV, with several lamellar phase lipid bilayers), the small unilamellar liposome vesicle (SUV, with one lipid bilayer), the large unilamellar vesicle (LUV), and the cochleate vesicle. A less desirable form are multivesicular liposomes in which one vesicle contains one or more smaller vesicles.


More recently liposomes have been used in medical research, Supplement and Drug delivery, anti aging skin care and much more.

What is Liposome Technology?

Qu'est-ce que la technologie liposomale?

                                                                                 L.E.T.

Liposome Encapsulation Technology (L.E.T.) works by utilizing liposomal micro spheres to deliver the ingredients directly INTO the cells.


Although this technology has been around since the 1970’s, it was used primarily in medical research and was too expensive to offer to the general public.


Medical researchers are once again using L.E.T. to transfer ingredients (drug or nutrient) that act as healing promoters to the definite body organs. This form of delivery system, offers targeted delivery of vital compounds to the body.


Liposomal micro spheres are completely sealed microscopic bubbles that trap ingredient molecules inside a protective envelope. The unique composition and size (only a few micrometers in diameter) allow them to completely avoid the harsh digestive elements, enabling the digestive system to release the active ingredients into the bloodstream.


                                                                              T.E.L.

La Technologie d’Encapsulation Liposomale (T.E.L.) met en Å“uvre aussi bien la nanotechnologie que la biotechnologie. Datée des années 1970 dans les recherches médicales, elle utilise les microspores pour transporter les ingrédients DIRECTEMENT dans la cellule. Ce transfert bénéficie la guérison des organes du corps. Non seulement les liposomes protègent la vitamine C et le glutathion contre les conditions agressives de l’environnement, ils transportent directement les ingrédients actifs dans le système sanguin et donc dans toutes parties du corps qui en ont besoin. 

Jusqu’à maintenant, aucun système n’a pu délivrer une telle quantité de vitamine non dégradée, et biodisponible, sans causer de problèmes digestifs.

Traditional nutritional supplements

When you ingest a traditional supplement in pill, capsule, powder, or liquid form, the body must work hard digesting in order for the nutrients to be absorbed. Harsh binders, fillers, or other additives often prevent supplement products from breaking down enough to be absorbed. Because of this, a large percentage of the nutrient value is lost. Often, gastrointestinal distress occurs. Liposomal absorption begins with the mucous membranes of the mouth. In addition, actual dosage absorption differs from individual to individual: Factors such as age, health status, and the presence of other competitive substances compete for that absorption. Therefore, the absorption capacity of a traditional nutrient becomes unpredictable.



Les suppléments traditionnels

Lorsque vous ingérez un supplément en forme de capsule, pillule, poudre ou liquide, le corps travaille très fort pendant la digestion pour que les nutriments soient bien absorbés. De sévères additifs, liants et ‘fillers’ préviennent souvent les produits de ces suppléments de bien se décomposer afin d’être absorbés convenablement. Pour cette raison un grand pourcentage de valeur nutritive disparaît, et bien souvent des douleurs gastrointestinales en résultent.

L’absorption liposomale commence avec les membranes muqueuses de la bouche.

Son degré d’absorption varie selon les conditions de chaque personne: (l’âge, le statut de santé et la présence d’autres facteurs empêchant l’absorption). Par conséquent, la capacité d’absorption des nutriments traditionnels devient imprévisible!

THE NEW GOLD STANDARD IN NUTRIENT DELIVERY?

Liposomes can deliver important molecules to different parts of your body by fusing with other bilayers like the cell membranes of your cells. Upon fusion, delivery of contents into the cells follows. To date, there are 13 pharmaceutical drugs that use the liposomal delivery system. This list of drugs includes antifungals, anticancer drugs, vaccines, pain relievers and hormones. 

Liposomal Encapsulation Technology Enhances Fatigue Treatment

Liposomal Encapsulation Technology (LET) is the newest delivery method used by medical researchers to transfer drugs that act as healing promoters to the definite body organs. This form of delivery system offers targeted delivery of vital compounds to the body. It has been in existence since the early 70’s. Due to the excellent transference capability of LET, some manufacturers of topical moisturizers and beauty products have patronized it.

The astounding effects and advantages derived from LET is why a number of nutritional companies are now utilizing this technique in the oral delivery of dietary supplements.

The advantage of LET over the others is that it allows a nutrient to carry power packed and non-decomposed natural compounds to pinpointed tissues and organs. Even though doses are reduced 5 to 15 times less than normal supplement intake, the delivery system’s effectiveness is not changed. This reduction is both medically and economically significant. 

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is one of the most widely recognized and used anti-oxidants in the world. This anti-oxidant plays a critical role in helping the immune system, joints, and arteries to heal and function properly. Liposomal vitamin C is a technological breakthrough in nutrient assimilation and offers incredible health benefits.


Much of our physiology is based on the movement of electrons from one compound to another. Unstable molecules that are missing an electron are called free radicals and they are catabolic to the body. These free radicals are formed in a cycle called oxidative stress that creates damage and instability in cells, tissues, and organs in the body. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant that acts to donate an electron to neutralize free radicals and restore peace and harmony to the body. 

More potency and less expense than IV mega-dose vitamin C

Liposomal vitamin C is a lipid encapsulation of ascorbic acid granules that delivers more vitamin C to cells orally than even mega-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C. At first, vitamin C expert Dr. Thomas Levy found this hard to believe, even as clinical results were being achieved.

Then he analyzed liposomal C to discover that, although IVC delivers more vitamin C into the bloodstream than orally ingesting vitamin C, not all of it permeated tissue cells.

It's estimated that maybe 20% of IV vitamin C volume gets into cells, while 90% of liposomal C permeates tissue on a cellular level. Vitamin C is water soluble, and cell walls are fatty. Liposomal C is a lipid (fatty substance) encapsulated on a molecular level.

This enables higher oral dosed vitamin C to permeate cells while not overwhelming bowel thresholds
