This research explores the formulation and development of a herbal energy drink utilizing Moringa (Moringa oleifera) and Ginger (Zingiber officinale) as key ingredients. Moringa is known for its rich nutritional profile, including proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants, while Ginger is valued for its bioactive compounds that enhance metabolism and provide energy. The study focuses on optimizing the formulation for taste, stability, and bioactive retention while evaluating its functional and energy-boosting properties. The formulation process involves optimizing the ratio of Moringa and Ginger extracts, selecting natural sweeteners, and evaluating physicochemical stability. The drink's nutritional profile, sensory acceptability, and functional properties were analyzed through laboratory testing and consumer evaluation. Results indicate that the herbal energy drink is a viable alternative to commercial energy drinks, offering enhanced metabolism, antioxidant benefits, and improved overall wellness. This study highlights the potential of herbal-based functional beverages in promoting a healthier lifestyle.
