Sustained Delivery

Meaning

Sustained Delivery refers to a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical formulation strategy designed to release an active compound into the systemic circulation over an extended period, rather than in a rapid, immediate bolus. This controlled release profile is engineered to maintain therapeutic plasma concentrations within an optimal, narrow range for a prolonged duration. The clinical benefit is the avoidance of both high-peak, potentially toxic levels and low-trough, sub-therapeutic levels, ensuring continuous receptor engagement and reduced dosing frequency.
