Emulsions play a key role in solubilizing hydrophobic oils, extracts and compounds into beverage or food product formats in Nutraceutical Excipients. Common nutraceutical excipients used are medium chain triglycerides, polysorbates, soy lecithin and gum acacia. Nanoemulsions further increase surface area and stability, improving absorption. Researchers are exploring nanoemulsion formulations loaded with curcumin, coenzyme Q10, resveratrol and other phytonutrients shown to have difficulty crossing cell membranes. These innovative delivery systems boost bioavailability many times over while maintaining a natural "nano" particle size undetectable to the senses.

As understanding of physiology and disease progresses, so too do opportunities to enhance nutraceutical delivery. Researchers are continually developing novel excipients and systems. These could involve biomimetic nanoparticles, exosomes, hydrogels or implantable devices regulated by environmental triggers in the body. Advancements extend beyond oral administration into transdermal, pulmonary and targeted areas. New functional excipients tailored for 3D printing or smart responsive packaging may one day work synergistically with nutraceutical actives to unlock preventive and therapeutic potentials as yet unrealized.
