Controlled Release Systems

Controlled release systems are methods used to deliver substances, like medications or nutrients, in a gradual and regulated manner over time. Instead of releasing everything at once, these systems allow for a slow, steady release that can improve effectiveness and reduce side effects. They can be found in various forms, such as pills that dissolve slowly or patches that release medicine through the skin. By controlling the timing and amount of release, these systems enhance treatment outcomes and convenience for patients, making it easier to manage chronic conditions or ensure consistent nutrient delivery.
