Solid Lipid Nanoparticles

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) are tiny particles made of solid lipids (fats) that are used to deliver medicines or nutrients in the body. They are small enough to improve the absorption of these substances, making them more effective. SLNs can protect the active ingredients from breaking down and allow for controlled release over time. They are considered safer and more biocompatible than other delivery systems, potentially leading to better therapeutic outcomes with fewer side effects. Researchers are exploring their use in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
