Abstract
Abstract: Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) uses natural, protected membrane lipid supplements to safely replace damaged, oxidized lipids in cellular membranes in order to restore membrane function, decrease various symptoms and improve health. Membrane injury occurs in essentially all chronic and acute medical conditions as well as in normal aging and development. The repair of damaged cellular membranes, and the removal of impaired membrane lipids and other toxic molecules from cells, are essential to recovery and health. Clinical studies have demonstrated the advantages of MLR in restoring membrane and organelle function and reducing fatigue, pain and other symptoms in chronic illnesses and aging patients. MLR has also been used in in vitro studies to demonstrate its ability to increase cell motility and resistance to oxidative damage. It also has the ability to enhance the bioavailability of other nutrients and their transport across intestinal epithelial cell barriers.Keywords: membrane phospholipids, lipid transport, lipid oxidation, mitochondrial function, fatigue, pain, chronic disease symptoms, aging
