Abstract
The study focused on formulating nutritional tablets using Moringa oleifera and spirulina. In India, the nutritional concentration of vegetables is decreasing due to the increasing population and demand for vegetables. To meet this demand, chemical fertilizers are being used, which do not provide sufficient nutrition. To address this issue, nutritional tablets can be made from Moringa oleifera and spirulina, both of which are excellent sources of protein, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. The recommended ratio for the tablet formulation of Moringa oleifera leaves powder and spirulina powder is 7:3. The tablet formulation consists of 88.5% Moringa oleifera and spirulina complex, 8.0% microcrystalline cellulose, 2% CMC, and 1.5% magnesium stearate. Through careful optimization of the formulation and manufacturing process, the resulting tablets exhibit desirable characteristics such as appearance, weight variation, hardness, friability, and disintegration. These nutritional complex tablets offer a convenient and effective way to supplement one's diet with a comprehensive blend of essential nutrients. Overall, this review highlights the potential of Moringa oleifera and spirulina powder as key ingredients in the formulation of nutritional complex tablets.
