Abstract

In the 21st century, there is demand for a combination of nutraceuticals delivery into the patient in a more efficient way to make it effective, and nanotechnology-based approaches are among the first choice of formulators to achieve the same. Nutraceuticals containing plant-derived compounds have excellent benefits on human health but suffer less patient compliance due to some physical and chemical problems, including water solubility issues, stability and poor absorption inside the human body. Some of them are photosensitive, undergo chemical modifications and are easily attacked by oxygen, making them vulnerable to prolonged and safe use for humans. Therefore, nanotechnology can be a pivotal tool that can address all of these issues and will make Nutraceuticals patient-driven to take on a major portion of the disease with safety. Effective nanonutraceuticals delivery must contain different parameters that need to be assessed and checked prior to delivery, as there are some contradictory opinions from some researchers about the exact mechanism for nanotechnology-based systems and the risk of toxicity evoked by them. The selection of smart nanocarriers depends upon the type of nutraceuticals and target site for delivery for effective therapeutic outcomes. Different nanocarriers, such as liposomes to polymeric and lipidic nanoparticles, are implemented for effective nutraceuticals segments to enhance their market potential.
