This image shows a special material we developed to deliver essential nutrients in the body, called a micronutrient delivery platform. It uses a structure known as a nutritional metal-organic framework (NuMOF), which helps protect and release nutrients at the right time. Here, the image captures how the structure breaks down and releases nutrients after being exposed to conditions similar to the stomach for 10 minutes.
The image reveals how the nutrient delivery material dynamically changes in the stomach environment, showcasing its potential to release nutrients effectively when needed.
