Abstract: The instant invention discloses methods of preparing phospholipid delivery systems encapsulating one or more bio-affecting compounds, said methods comprising solubilizing a heterogeneous phospholipid mixture into a suitable organic solvent to form a concentrated formulation of phospholipids, wherein the phospholipids comprise a charged phospholipid species, and mixing the concentrated formulation with an aqueous solution comprising at least one bio-affecting compound. The instant invention also discloses methods of using a phospholipid delivery system encapsulating at least one bio-affecting compound for administration to an individual in need thereof.
