Modern Nutraceutical Dosage Forms From Indian Herbs

Description

Modern Nutraceutical Dosage Forms From Indian Herbs by Dr. Abhinandan R Patil & Ms. Sonali K Diwate

This comprehensive reference work was developed to address the growing need for integrated, scientifically rigorous guidance spanning the complete development pathway for modern herbal nutraceutical dosage forms in the Indian regulatory and commercial context. Drawing on published scientific literature, regulatory documentation, and established pharmaceutical formulation science principles, this book provides both broad conceptual frameworks and specific technical detail (formulations, analytical methods, calculation procedures) intended to serve as a practical working reference for pharmaceutical scientists, nutraceutical formulators, regulatory affairs professionals, and advanced students engaged with this rapidly evolving field.

The specific focus on Moringa oleifera and Murraya koenigii — and the detailed effervescent granule case study developed throughout Chapter 2 and the extended case studies section — was selected to provide concrete, technically complete illustration of the principles discussed throughout the book, while these two botanicals’ substantial nutraceutical potential and current commercial relevance in the Indian market make them valuable subjects in their own right, independent of their illustrative function for the book’s broader formulation science content.

Readers are encouraged to adapt the frameworks, methods, and decision criteria presented throughout this book to their own specific botanical materials, target indications, and commercial contexts, recognizing that while the specific formulations and data presented reflect a coherent, internally consistent illustrative case study, the underlying scientific principles are broadly applicable across the diverse landscape of Indian medicinal and nutraceutical botanicals extending well beyond the two species given particular focus in this text.
