Nanostructured lipid carriers

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are tiny particles designed to deliver drugs or nutrients effectively within the body. Made from solid and liquid lipids combined at the nanoscale (billionths of a meter), they improve stability, control release, and enhance absorption of active ingredients. NLCs protect sensitive substances from degradation, target specific tissues, and reduce side effects. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals, they leverage nanotechnology to maximize the benefits of active compounds, making treatments more efficient and formulations more effective.
