Abstract
The growing demand for natural and sustainable nutritional supplements has propelled research into plant-based multivitamins. This review focuses on developing multivitamin formulations using spinach (Spinacia oleracea), moringa (Moringa oleifera), and taro leaves (Colocasia esculenta), recognized for their exceptional nutrient profiles. Spinach is a rich source of iron, vitamins A and K, and antioxidants, while moringa is renowned for its high vitamin C, calcium, and protein content. Taro leaves contribute dietary fibre, folate, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. This review consolidates data on the bioactive compounds, nutritional benefits, and pharmacological properties of these leafy greens, emphasizing their potential in combating micronutrient deficiencies.
