Essential phospholipids (EPL) are natural components of human and animal cells forming the outer membrane that contain them. Without EPL life as we know it is not possible. A continuous supply of EPL, or its constituents, is absolutely necessary for human health and well being.

A natural source for EPL is soy lecithin from which it is extracted through a rather expensive process. EPL is particularly rich in Phosphotidyl Choline and Polyunsaturated fatty acids with linoleic and linolenic fatty acids accounting for 70% of EPL’s fatty acid content. These are termed essential fatty acids because they must be taken in with food since the human body cannot synthesize them. The effects on the human body by taking EPL as a nutritional supplement and as a transport mechanism for other supplements are truly amazing.

Examples of Oral EPL applications:
First and foremost is the effect of EPL on your heart. The risk of developing heart disease for those who are age 40 and older in the United States is one in two for men and one in three for women. Also, heart disease is the leading cause of death for adults worldwide. Public clinical studies performed by Rhone Poulenc Rorer, a large pharmaceutical company in Europe, for their EPL product “Lipostabil” *, show that EPL prevents the development of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridaemia in doses as little as 300 mg EPL per day. The intake of EPL as a nutritional supplement is a convenient way to supply your body with the essential fatty acids it needs and to take advantage of (1) Improved circulation to the heart, brain, feet, hands, etc. (2) Improves blood flow by inhibiting blood cells and platelet adhesion and stickiness. (3) Helps heart disease and Angina pain.

The second benefit of EPL is the ability by phospholipids to provide an effective transport mechanism through biological membranes and skin. Under certain physical conditions phospholipids will spontaneously form microscopic cellular structures whose walls are very similar in construction to the actual cell membrane as shown in the Figure.

The size of these spheres is very small, in the order of nanometers. As illustrated, the spheres are hollow inside and contain the liquid material in which they were formed (inclusion). Because of the small size of the phospholipids molecule and micro spheres, they can pass through biological membranes and act as a carrier for enclosed substances. Circulation Specialist uses a natural blend of highly refined Phospholipids from soy lecithin which is used to form closely packed liposome gels. Each cellular structure (vesicle) contains the desired pharmaceutical solution for delivery through the respective membrane.
