Nutraceutical tablets: Manufacturing processes, quality assurance, and effects on human health

Consumers are increasingly focused on food products' nutritional content and health aspects. Nutraceutical tablets containing nutritional supplements have seen remarkable progress and are well-known for their precise dosage, which can improve consumer health by increasing the intake of bioactive compounds and vital nutrients. Oral nutraceuticals are frequently used to enhance consumer well-being, with around 80% of products being in solid form. This manuscript aims to thoroughly analyze and summarize the gathered literature using various search engines to investigate key trends in the market, the components involved, and the functional impact of nutraceutical tablets. Furthermore, the manuscript explores various nutraceutical tablets such as chewable tablets, gelling capsules, vitamin tablets, spirulina tablets, and bran tablets. A perspective is provided on multiple production and manufacturing methods of nutraceutical tablets, along with comparing these processes. Following this, evaluating quality characteristics and enforcing quality assurance procedures have been emphasized. The manuscript discussed the physiological breakdown of ingestible nutraceutical tablets in the human body and the possible toxic effects of the components found in these tablets. Furthermore, the focus is on producing nutraceutical tablets in a more environmentally friendly manner, tackling sustainability issues, offering solutions, and delving into potential opportunities. This manuscript will create a significant platform for people from the research, scientific, and industrial fields seeking novel and inventive projects.
