Abstract :
The process of developing Moringa oleifera leaf tablets in a pharmaceutical way marks an important step from using the plant in traditional medicine to using it in a standardized way in clinical settings. This is needed because raw powder has problems like inconsistent dosing, breaking down quickly in the environment, and not being taken regularly by patients. Moringa is often called the “Miracle Tree” because of its high nutritional value and wide range of health benefits. It contains many active compounds, including flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, as well as different phenolic acids that need to be protected using modern methods. This study used a systematic wet granulation method and included pharmaceutical-grade ingredients like lactose for bulk, starch paste as a binder, and sodium starch glycolate as a disintegrant. This helped create a solid oral dosage form that releases these important compounds quickly and evenly. The production process was checked thoroughly, first before compression, which showed good flow properties with a Carr’s Index of 22.1% and a Hausner’s Ratio of 1.28. After compression, the tablets had strong hardness of 5.84 kg/cm² and low friability of 0.71%. The final tablets showed a consistent disintegration time of 18 to 28 minutes, making them a reliable and stable option that delivers the plant’s immune-supporting effects in a convenient and accurate dose, suitable for modern healthcare.
Keywords: – Moringa oleifera, Miracle Tree, herbal tablet formulation, standardized dosage form, short shelf life, flavonoids, patient convenience, immune-supporting effects.
