Optimum Lipid Delivery System
ISIS 100% Natural Elixir for Life™


Liposomes composed of various types of lipids (fats) have been used for nearly 40 years as delivery systems for drugs,
cosmetics, and many other innovative uses since they were first described in 19653.  Bioactive molecules, such as
those which compose Elixir for Life™, need to cross biological membranes in order to enter the body, whether it is in the
gastrointestinal tract, the skin, the pulmonary tract or the cornea, and once in the body, there are other membranous
barriers to cross to get to their sites of action, such as vascular walls and the blood-brain barrier.   

The globule phospholipid membranes found naturally in Elixir for Life™ are unique in that they are bipolar molecules
with one end being hydrophilic (“water-loving”) and the other end being lipophilic (“fat-loving”). This means that the
liposomes will carry both hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules equally well. The bipolarity of the phospholipid molecules is
what accounts for the self-assembly of the membrane when the phospholipids are introduced into a watery environment.
It also accounts for the ease with which the liposome merges with other cell membranes when it encounters them, such
as in the lining of the gut or on the skin. Skin care products, which also have this lipid delivery system, are superior to
non-liposomal skin care products because the ingredients are able to penetrate much deeper into the levels of the skin
where they can be of maximum benefit.
Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) are also found in relatively high amounts in
Elixir for Life™. Both of these growth factors stimulate tissue repair & wound healing.

Elixir for Life™ helps heal leaky gut syndrome, an abnormal condition which allows unwanted pathogens and toxins into
the body, which then may cause skin eruptions as the body attempts to remove them.
Lactoferrin’s role as an antioxidant helps clean up free radicals which can cause skin aging changes
Lactoferrin applied topically can inhibit local inflammatory responses in the skin by regulating the expression of
TNF-α

Growth factors found in Elixir for Life™, such as epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and insulin-like growth
factor-1 (IGF-1), help maintain healthy skin by replacing damaged tissue and can accelerate wound healing            while
a lack of IGF-1 retards wound healing.
Skin becomes thin with aging due to a reduction in growth factors with age; IGF-1 supplementation can help restore skin
thickness

Ceramide, the predominant lipid in the skin and a metabolite of sphingomyelin, one of the phospholipids found in Elixir
for Life™ and BIO-lipid, is important for both water retention and permeability barrier function; decreased levels of
ceramide are associated with dermatitis and dry skin conditions

Sphingosines, which are also metabolites of sphingomyelin, also are important in maintaining the barrier function of the
skin against pathogens, including bacteria and fungi      and can even be used as topical antiseptics.
