Nanotechnology can significantly improve the effectiveness of nutraceuticals through several mechanisms:
Increased Bioavailability: Nanoparticles can cross biological barriers more efficiently, ensuring that the active ingredients are better absorbed by the body. Enhanced Solubility: Many nutraceuticals have poor water solubility. Nanotechnology can increase their solubility, making them more effective. Controlled Release: Nanoparticles can be engineered to release their active ingredients at a controlled rate, enhancing their efficacy over time. Targeted Delivery: Nanoparticles can be designed to deliver nutraceuticals to specific cells or tissues, increasing their effectiveness and reducing side effects.
