Over the last few years' great advances have been made on the development drug delivery systems for different purposes for targeting the diseased conditions. Novel drug delivery originates from polymers or associated with some devices is generally related with the emergence of novel characteristics. These changes are what eventually comprise the value of drug delivery system and Novel drug delivery system. Novel properties become existed without making new materials. Novel drug delivery system comparable to traditional system, following Targeted Drug Delivery System (TDDS) is also called targeting drug system. A new drug delivery system makes the drugs densely gather pathological-change structures, and has an improved healing effect and less toxic side effects. The drugs can improve the strength of pharmacological action and reduce the bad effect all over the body, for they release in the target organs.

Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) is defined to the approaches, formulations, technologies, and system which provide a therapeutic amount of drug to the appropriate site in the body. If the novel drug delivery technology is applied in herbal actives and extracts. It may help in increasing the efficacy and reducing the side effect of variety of novel herbal formulation like polymeric nanoparticle, nanocapsules, liposomes, nanoemulsion, phytosomes, microsphere and ethosomes has been reported using bioactive and plant extracts. These novel formulations have advantage over the conventional formulations. NDDS include enhancement of solubility, bioavailability, protection against toxicity, enhancement of pharmacological activity and stability, improve tissue macrophage distribution and protection against chemical degradation. The most important aim to design alternative drug delivery technologies is to increase efficiency and safety of drug in the process of drug delivery and provide more convenience for the patients. The present paper includes more information regarding novel formulation of herbal formulation.

Abstract:: Nutraceuticals are the combination of Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals and refers to the ‘food’ possessing pharmaceutical properties. Classified into traditional (herbals, phytochemicals, probiotic, prebiotic) and non-traditional (fortified and recombinant) categories nutraceuticals, are mainly intended for preventing and treating diseases. Nutraceuticals possess several therapeutic activities which can be exploited to treat disorders like, cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer, inflammations, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, etc. Nutraceuicals are mainly obtained from natural sources, hence are comaparatievly safer and cheaper alternatives than pharmaceuticals, which leads to a tremendous growth and flourishing markets tothis kind of products. The main objective of this review is to determine the advancement made in the field of nutraceuticals and their potential as pharmaceutical alternative. This article focuses on present and past market scenario of nutraceuticals, their therapeutic effectsand advantages over pharmaceuticals products. Secondly, with the advancement of novel drug delivery system, the drawbacks of nutraceuticals have been resolved and efficacy has been improved which resulted in gaining the interests of scientists and researchers in this field for further improvement. Thus, we can expect the lucarative market of nutraceuticals in upcoming days. It is clear that nutraceuticals have great potential to replace the pharmaceuticals and serve for the wellbeing of mankind.
