The present invention discloses an improved nanoemulsion comprising a uniform and discrete range of very small particle nano-sized diameters. This uniformity results in improved bioavailability of incorporated compounds (i.e., pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals) as reflected in various pharmacokinetic parameters including, but not limited to, decreased Tmax, increased CmaX3 and increased AUC. The improved method of making these uniform nanoemulsions utilizes microfluidization which differs in both process and mechanics when compared to conventional milling and grinding techniques used to generate nanoparticulate compositions. Further, the improvement results, in part, from a novel step of mixing a substantially soluble compound into a heated dispersion medium. This is unlike current nanoparticulate composition methods that mix an insoluble compound with an unheated dispersion medium. Further, these nanoemulsions are observed to be bacterial-resistant and stable to extremes in both temperature and pH changes. Consequently, these nanoemulsions are expected to have a significantly prolonged shelf-life than currently available nanoemulsions.

1. A method for making a nanoemulsion, comprising: a) providing a premix comprising: an oil-based medium, an aqueous medium,an emulsifier, and optionally a compound to be delivered;b) subjecting said premix to single-pass microfluidization with a microfluidizer; wherein said method provides a uniform nanoemulsion comprising a population of nanoparticles, the nanoemulsion being uniform in that:less than 3% of the nanoparticles in the population have a diameter outside the range of between approximately 10 and approximately 110 nanometers, and wherein the difference between the minimum diameter and maximum diameter of the nanoparticles in the population does not exceed 600 nm. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said aqueous medium is selected from the group consisting of water, saline solution, ringers solution, and 5% dextrose. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said oil-based medium is selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated oils from vegetable and marine sources, silicone oils, and mineral oils. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is present and is selected from the group consisting of a plant sterol, cod liver oil, tocopherol, lecithin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and soy protein. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is present and is a pharmaceutical agent. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is present and is a nutraceutical agent. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is present and is a cosmeceutical agent. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is present and is a protein. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the difference between the minimum and maximum diameters of the nanoparticles in the population does not exceed about 300 nm. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the difference between the minimum and maximum diameters of the nanoparticles in the population does not exceed about 200 nm. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the difference between the minimum and maximum diameters of the nanoparticles in the population does not exceed about 100 nm. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the nanoparticle population has a minimum diameter of approximately 10 nanometers. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the nanoparticle population has a minimum diameter of approximately 40 nanometers. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the nanoparticle population has a minimum diameter of approximately 50 nanometers. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the nanoemulsion is formulated for transdermal administration, oral administration, intravenous administration, intramuscular administration, or subcutaneous administration.
