These nano-based systems offer unique advantages in targeting drug delivery and improving the bioavailability of therapeutics. For a detailed exploration, see [[Nano‐Based Delivery Systems]]. | ||
*'''Chemical Modifications''': Altering the chemical structure of a compound can increase its solubility and absorption, making the active ingredient more available in the systemic circulation. | *'''Chemical Modifications''': Altering the chemical structure of a compound can increase its solubility and absorption, making the active ingredient more available in the systemic circulation. | ||
*'''Combinational Approaches''': Using adjuvants or combining nutrients with enhancers can significantly improve bioavailability. This approach often involves synergistic combinations that enhance the overall effect of the active ingredients. | *'''Combinational Approaches''': Using adjuvants or combining nutrients with enhancers can significantly improve bioavailability.
