Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, aging-related disorders, and lifestyle-induced oxidative stress has spurred interest in the use of nutraceuticals as preventive and therapeutic agents. However, the potential of these compounds is often hindered by their poor bioavailability, low water solubility, and instability during storage or in physiological environments.
Recent advances in nanotechnology have opened new horizons for the development of nano nutraceuticals. By reducing particle size to the nanometer scale and encapsulating active ingredients in specialized delivery systems, such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), it is now possible to enhance the solubility, stability, and controlled release of nutraceutical compounds. These technologies have the potential to significantly improve nano nutraceuticals’ efficacy for applications in health, wellness, and disease management.
This Special Issue, entitled “New Insights into Nano Nutraceuticals”, aims to provide an overview of the latest research and innovations in this field. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles or reviews on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development of nanoformulations for nutraceutical delivery;
- Applications of nano nutraceuticals to address oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic disorders;
- Advances in encapsulation techniques for nutraceuticals;
- Stability and bioavailability studies of nano nutraceuticals;
- Nano nutraceuticals for cosmeceutical applications;
- Regulatory and safety aspects of nano nutraceuticals;
- Industrial scalability and sustainability in nano nutraceutical production.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutraceuticals is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
