Lymphatic Transport – Lymphatic Transport

Lymphatic transport is a privileged path of absorption after the administration of drugs and food supplements. The lymphatic system is a vital part of the circulatory and immune systems and plays an important role in homeostasis by controlling the volume of extracellular fluid and in fighting infections. In particular, studies show how this system is rapid and effective for absorption after the administration of drugs and supplements. This method of intake acting by lymphatic absorption is particularly effective for assimilation and thus avoids burdening the hepatic system because there is no passage through the liver.

Lymphatic System – What It Is, How It Works and Why It Matters

The lymphatic system is generally little known, but this shouldn’t be deceiving as to its fundamental function. The lymphatic system allows the lymph to reach all tissues, draining every corner of the body. The lymphatic system is collateral to the cardiovascular system and consists of an articulated system of vessels, very similar to the venous and arterial circulatory system.

The lymph changes its composition based on the tissue that drains it. However, it generally includes an aqueous part, consisting of waste from cellular metabolism, fats, mineral salts, sugars, lipids, amino acids, hormones, toxins, proteins and vitamins, as well as a part rich in lymphocytes. The lymph therefore plays an important role in protecting cells and in particular in the immune system of our body. Lymphocytes play a vital role in the production of antibodies that defend us against viruses and infections and diseases from simple flu to tumors.

Another important role of the lymph is to bring the nutritional elements filtered by the blood capillaries back into circulation and in particular to convey the assimilated fats with food into the systemic circulation.

Finally, the lymphatic system has a draining function from the waste substances produced by the cells to direct them to the purification organs such as the kidneys or liver that purify them before putting them back into circulation.
