Formulation and evaluation of purslane nutraceuticals tablets

Portulaca oleracea, commonly known as purslane, is a medicinal plant recognized for its rich nutritional profile and various therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Despite its widespread use in traditional medicine, its pharmaceutical potential, particularly in the form of tablet dosage forms, has not been extensively explored. This study aims to formulate and evaluate purslane (Portulaca oleracea) tablets for their potential therapeutic applications. Tablets were prepared using standardized methods of herbal pharmaceutical formulation, selecting appropriate excipients to ensure stability, bioavailability, and optimal therapeutic effect. Various physicochemical properties, including tablet hardness, disintegration time, friability, and uniformity of content, were assessed. Additionally, the dissolution profile and antioxidant activity of the tablets were evaluated to ensure their therapeutic efficacy.
