A convenient and Easy way to administer bioactive plant compounds is through the development of lozenges as a nutraceutical dosage form. They are better than traditional oral Preparations because of their rapid onset, low water requirement, extended oral retention, and improved patient compliance, particularly for use in children and the elderly. A powerful Functional ingredient with hematinic, antioxidant, and cardiovascular benefits, beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is abundant in dietary nitrates, Belatine, flavonoids, phenolic acids, vitamins, and Minerals. The purpose of this study was to develop and assess beetroot-based lozenges for improving Hematological health and energy levels. To guarantee consistency, beetroot powder was made with the right sweeteners, binders, and flavorings using conventional heating and congealing methods. In addition to sensory evaluation for taste, aroma, and mouthfeel, the prepared lozenges were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, moisture content, and disintegration time. Consistent physicochemical characteristics, adequate mechanical strength, stability, and quick disintegration were all demonstrated by the results. According to sensory analysis, the earthy beetroot flavor was successfully covered up by the excipients, resulting in favourable consumer acceptance. Beetroot lozenges have the potential to be a useful, affordable, and patient-friendly nutraceutical formulation for people with anemia, low hemoglobin levels, or fatigue. Their antioxidant and nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatory effects further support cardiovascular health and natural energy enhancement. Future studies should focus on in vivo evaluation, clinical trials, and long-term stability to demonstrate their therapeutic efficacy and promote their use in preventive healthcare.
