Abstract: Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic phytoalexin, and belongs to the stilbene family. RSV has several
therapeutic activities such as cardioprotective, anticancer, and antioxidant. Apart from its therapeutic benefits,
its pharmacological uses are limited due to low solubility, poor bioavailability, and short biological halflife.
A researcher continuously focuses on overcoming the limitations of RSV through nanotechnology platforms
to get the optimum health benefits. In this context, nanocarriers are pioneering to overcome these drawbacks.
Nanocarriers possess high drug loading capacity, thermal stability, low production cost, longer shelflife,
etc. Fortunately, scientists were proficient in delivering resveratrol-based nanocarriers in the present scenario.
Nanocarriers can deliver drugs to the target sites without compromising the bioavailability. Thus, this review
highlights how the latest nanocarrier systems overcome the shortcomings of RSV, which will be good
for improving therapeutic efficacy and bioavailability. Moreover, recent updates on resveratrol-based novel
formulations and their clinical trials have been addressed to manage several health-related problems.
