How Does Nanotechnology Contribute to Nutrient Delivery?
Nutrient delivery is another area where nanotechnology excels. Nano-encapsulation can be used to deliver nutrients directly to specific parts of the body, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness. This is particularly useful for delivering bioactive compounds like antioxidants, probiotics, and omega-3 fatty acids. By using nano-carriers, these nutrients can be more efficiently absorbed by the body.
