“…Nano‐formulated dietary supplements are also known as nano‐nutraceuticals. Nano‐nutraceutical technologies aid in the creation of next‐generation dietary supplements with improved pharmacokinetics (PK) that preserve the original active ingredients and their activity but work with better efficiency (Javeri, 2016; Singh et al, 2022). The concept of nano‐nutraceuticals is relatively new, however, lately it is getting lots of attention.…”

A sudden outbreak of the COVID‐19 pandemic was a big blow to the world community on every level. Created by a novel coronavirus, SARS‐CoV‐2, which was previously unknown to the human immune system. The expert opinion almost immediately united on the fact that the most effective way of fighting the pandemic would be by building immunity artificially via a mass immunization program. However, it took about a year for the approval of the first vaccine against COVID‐19. In the meantime, a big part of the general population started adapting nutritious diet plans and dietary supplements to boost natural immunity as a potential prophylactic strategy against SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Whether they originate from mainstream medicine, such as synthetic supplements, or traditional herbal remedies in the form of single or poly‐herbs, these supplements may comprise various components that exhibit immunomodulatory, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial characteristics. There is a substantial body of predictions and expert opinions suggesting that enhancing one's diet with dietary supplements containing additional nutrients and bioactive compounds like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, phytochemicals, and probiotics can enhance the immune system's ability to develop resistance against COVID‐19, although none of them have any conclusive evidence nor officially recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). The current review critically acclaims the gap between public perception‐based preference and real evidence‐based study to weigh the actual benefit of dietary supplements in relation to COVID‐19 prevention and management.

“…A topic of concern is the safety of micro‐ and nanocapsules, because it has not been addressed (Javeri ). The possibility of undesired effects due to intakes exceeding an acceptable daily amount of encapsulated compounds or the occurrence of them at high levels in plasma cannot be addressed, determined or excluded “ a priori .” Moreover, it is not possible to predict the consequences for long‐term intake of food products fortified with bioactive‐loaded nanometer sized materials (Oehlke and others ).…”

The production of value-added and/or functional juices has increased significantly in recent years, following an increased consumer demand to promote health and/or prevent disease through diet and nutrition. Micro and nanoencapsulation are promising technologies to protect and deliver sensitive compounds, allowing a controlled release in the target sites. This paper offers an overview of current applications, limits and challenges of encapsulation technologies in the production of fruit and vegetable juices, with a particular emphasis on products derived from different botanical sources.
