Dear Steve,
I do not think there would be any, significant, reduction in the acceptable speed of absorption.....of the blender-generated liposomes
as against the smaller ones from the U>S> cleaner devices (in the digestive system)......especially in view of the fact that the alimentary tract can absorb a very wide variety of particle sizes. It is true, however, that smaller size particles will pass in greater volume---for a given time, than
will larger particles. Unless encountering "much" larger particles than almost any of the liposomal products generated (including those produced naturally
during normal digestive processes) through use of mechanical and/or chemical means.....the experimenter should have little reason toward concerns for
either speed or completeness of absorption across the alimentary system epithelial tissues. However, do understand, there is an enormous difference in size accommodation ability between that of the alimentary system...and that of a human hair follicle.
Best Regards, Brooks.

Thanks Brooks. But I do have one question. Would the larger size of the liposomes created by a blender reduce absorption through the intestinal wall?

Thanks again,

Steve

Subject: CS>Comment of Possible Interest



An associate of mine called my attention to an item that piqued my interest....and I thought I might do likewise....for some among the List Members.

He informed me that Micro-encapsulation utilizing liposome-generation techniques, is being successfully employed by the cosmetics industry. Most especially for enhancing the appearance (and apparently the health) of the hair.

He relates success in delaying/correcting early-onset color loss among a rather wide age spectrum. He advises that this recent development is not...as yet...very widespread.

The intriguing element, to me, was that this system seems to employ liposomal technology (although they do not inform the customer of their "technology").

There is one company, Kronos, by name.....which provides a complete spectrum of products...although effective....do not appear to be cheap.

My feeling in the matter is that interested (especially the vain ones) list members might consider making their own products utilizing their ultrasonic cleaners. The methodology would be the very same procedure used to generate their liposomal vitamin C. Some, minor, experimentation might be required to "fine tune" their end product.....but quite useful results should be easily achieved.

One word of caution might be in order....the use of blenders (even the high-speed/power units like Vitamix) might not yield particle mass SMALL enough to pass through the hair follicles. Ultrasonically produced material should do quite well....as would high-pressure X diffraction grate formed liposomes. We have not submitted the "blender-generated" materials to the lab for EXTENSIVE size-measurement, but we did----early on---determine that although highly-confined X high velocity liposomal vitamin C produced via Vitamix-quality blenders yielded excellent homogenization and stability. The actual size of the liposomes formed, appears to a large extent....reliant upon the shearing "force" of impact or THE ultrasonic energy effect.

These comments are made for general interest only. However, some

enterprising list member involved ion the cosmetics industry....might have more than just a passing interest.
