Advanced Strategies for the Selection and Stabilization of Osteotropic Micronutrients Using Biopolymers

Abstract

A comprehensive review of the literature data on the choice of osteotropic micronutrients is presented as part of this review. The analysis showed that nanoscale osteotropic micronutrients (carbonates Ca, Mg, Zn, Mn, and Cu) are promising materials with a wide range of practical applications. The main methods of synthesis of each of the carbonates of osteotropic micronutrients, as well as ways to stabilize them with biopolymers, are considered. The review also presents the applications of nanoscale metal carbonates. An important field of application is medicine. In particular, the use of nanoscale materials as medicines with proven therapeutic effects and targeted drug delivery is being considered. The review also identifies problems and opportunities for further research and development in this area, emphasizes the need to optimize synthesis parameters, and explore new methods for stabilizing osteotropic micronutrients with biopolymers.
