“…Therefore, smaller amounts of substances can be used, which allows decreasing dose-dependent toxicity and various side effects. In addition, many formulations also protect bioactive molecules from degradation [19,20,24,25,28,29,31,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42]. The enhancement of bioavailability could be achieved by the improved solubility of bioactive compounds under gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, their protection from the chemical conditions in the GI tract, and controlled release within the GI tract, or by an improved transfer through the intestinal wall, and the particle size, surface properties, and physical state of the nanomaterials used in food supplements are crucial characteristics affecting their final nutritional value [43].…”
