Liposomal Technology
Liposomal technology, in its shortest form, is a technology that provides effective distribution of the active substance within the body by forming structures very similar to cells. These formed structures are called liposome globules. Liposome globules are formed by surrounding the active substance (eg vitamin C, vitamin D) with a double layer of phospholipids.
Phospholipids are one of the main components of cell membranes in our body. That is, liposomal globules mimic natural cell membranes. This phospholipid layer outside the active substance prevents the deterioration of the active substance due to changes in enzymes or pH (acidity) levels in the body. Thus, liposomal technology contributes to the improvement and prolongation of the effect.
Liposomal Technology
The name liposome is derived from two Greek words: lipid, ‘Lipos’ meaning fat and ‘Soma’ meaning body. It was first discovered by Dr Alec D Bangham in 1961 and published in 1964. It has been studied as drug delivery systems since the 1970s because of its many potential advantages. In 1995, for the first time, liposomal technology was applied with FDA-approved Doxil® drug in the treatment of cancer.
With liposomal technology;
Lipozone products are derived from natural lecithins and produced with patented liposomal technology. Thanks to this patent, intact and impermeable liposomes are obtained. There are 3 important features that distinguish the patent:
With these features, Lipozone products provide a high level of delivery of the active substance to the target tissue or cells, and a high effect due to its high absorption.
