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.
