Unlocking The Potential: Bioavailability And Formulation Challenges Of Nutraceutical Nanoparticles Utilising Food Grade Nanocarriers

Abstract

Nutraceuticals are foods or parts of foods that give medicinal or therapeutic benefits, such as prevention and/or management of a disease. They have piqued the interest of many people because of their putative safety and possible nutritional and medicinal effects. But because many of these nutraceuticals have poor and/or inconsistent oral bioavailability, their prospective advantages are not always fully achieved.

Nanoscience is the scientific study of materials with extremely small sizes that display extraordinary qualities, functions, and phenomena. One of the anticipated uses for nanotechnology in the nutraceutical sector is the creation of delivery systems based on nanoparticles that are focused on the encapsulation of bioactive food components with the goal of controlled release and preservation for targeted delivery. This review intends to describe various types of nanoparticle-based delivery systems that have been created for the delivery of nutraceuticals. Moreover, it describes the challenges and significance of nutraceuticals in nanocarriers and the conceivable enhancement of bioavailability through nano techniques. It concludes by addressing briefly their current market applications and the associated regulatory issues.
