MAWEJU® – Liposomal chlorophyll

Description

What exactly is chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is a class of natural pigments that color plants green and are collectively referred to as chlorophyll (can be divided into chlorophyll a and b).
The word chlorophyll comes from the Greek chloros, which means green, and phýllon, which means leaf.
Translated, this simply means: green leaf. Chlorophyll is essential for the plant’s survival, because it uses chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis – we still remember this knowledge from our school days.
In short: chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and passes on the light energy, enabling the plant to produce water, sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide. This ensures the growth of the plant.

The green blood…

Chlorophyll is often called “the green blood” because it is not dissimilar to human blood.
On the contrary, the similarities between the two substances are astonishing: chlorophyll colors the plant green, the heme from hemoglobin colors the blood red (hemoglobin plays a major role in the transport of oxygen in the blood. In addition, haemoglobin is the red blood pigment, which is mainly found in red blood cells).
Both substances – haem and chlorophyll – have a porphyrin ring, a ring-shaped molecule. In chlorophyll there is a magnesium atom in the middle of the porphyrin ring, in heme it is an iron atom. This finding stimulated scientific research.
The German chemist Hans Fischer won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1930 for his research ‘on the structural composition of blood and plant pigments and for the synthesis of hemin’, which led to groundbreaking findings.
Speculation that chlorophyll could be important for human health had long since been confirmed. Read more about chlorophyll here: The green blood

And what are these liposomes?

Lipo… – who? Let’s take a look at the origin of the word: The term “liposome” comes from the Greek and is derived from the word “lipos” for fat and “soma” for body.
Aha – that’s pretty accurate!
Because the root of the word refers to the properties of a liposome.
Liposomes are nothing more than lipid vesicles made of phospholipids strung together to form a double membrane.
Great, another new term!
To clarify: most people remember phospholipids from school: phospholipids are made up of a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and two hydrophobic (water-repellent) hydrocarbon tails.
They are involved in building the lipid bilayer of many biomembranes and are therefore found in all animal and plant cells. And this is where it gets very interesting, doesn’t it?
Because this double membrane is not only found in plants and animals, it is also found in the cell membranes of our body.
Both in their aqueous interior and within their fat-soluble double membrane, liposomes can transport different substances regardless of their charge, size or structure, whereby they are protected from the body’s own enzymes of the digestive tract and to some extent even from stomach acid.
The body is designed to deal with liposomes.
And there’s more!
Not only can liposomes be processed perfectly, no, they can also fuse with cell membranes as they are similar in structure.
The uptake of these phospholipid membranes has priority in the body.
With the help of this “deceptive maneuver”, liposomes reach their destination via the digestive tract in no time at all.
Liposomes are a Trojan horse, but a very friendly one.

What advantages does this bring?

“Well, but capsules work really well and they’re much cheaper!”, many of you may be thinking.
But unfortunately we have to disappoint you.
Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to throw money out of the window when you skimp on food supplements. People with a disturbed intestinal flora will know this problem only too well.
You take a product for months, but the effect just won’t show.
But this problem can also occur with a healthy gut.
This is because sensitive active ingredients lose a large part of their activity while passing through the gastrointestinal tract or are simply not absorbed in the small intestine.
Enzymes in saliva also break down some active ingredients and the acid in the stomach is also not conducive. As a result, “normal” orally administered nutrients usually only deliver an average of 10 – 20 % of the nutrients they contain to the body’s bloodstream. In the liposomal form of food supplements, fat- and water-soluble active ingredients are encapsulated in a shell, so-called phospholipids.
This allows the body to absorb the active ingredients completely.

How does this work in the body?

Liposomes are very easily absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes in the mouth and digestive tract.
Once they are in the bloodstream, they circulate through the body, fuse with cell membranes and then release their encapsulated active ingredients directly into the cell. Simply simple! Even if intestinal absorption is impaired, liposomes are completely absorbed via the intestinal wall and are therefore bioavailable at the place in the body where they are needed.
Liposomes can also easily evade excretion via the kidneys, i.e. through the urine, as the micro-droplets of fat are not dissolved directly in the blood plasma.
In the field of oncology, the ability of liposomes to cross the blood-brain barrier is utilized.
In contrast to normal chemotherapy preparations, drugs injected in liposomal form can have an effect on the brain.
For this reason, it has been hypothesized that vitamins administered liposomally also reach the brain more easily.
Furthermore, there are no side effects with liposomes as there are with intravenous administration of vitamins. Conclusion: Our liposomes have up to high bioavailability because their phospholipid bilayer protects the active ingredient stored in them.
At the same time, liposomes are very easily absorbed by the mucous membranes of the mouth, stomach and intestines, which is why they are transported directly into the blood.
