📄 Abstract
Spirulina, a nutrient-dense blue-green algae, has gained increasing attention in the field of natural health products due to its rich content of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This study explores the formulation and potential benefits of Spirulina-based lozenges as a novel approach to support oral hygiene. The lozenges are designed not only to deliver the nutritional benefits of Spirulina but also to promote oral health by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation, and supporting fresh breath. Their slow dissolution in the oral cavity ensures prolonged contact with the mucosa, maximizing local therapeutic effects. Preliminary findings suggest that Spirulina lozenges may help in reducing plaque formation, soothing gum inflammation, and maintaining oral microbial balance. This natural, non-invasive oral care solution offers a promising complementary strategy for improving oral hygiene and overall oral care, especially in populations seeking plant-based or holistic health alternatives. Spirulina, a nutrient-rich blue-green algae, is recognized for its high content of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a valuable component in natural health products. This study investigates the development and oral health benefits of Spirulina-based lozenges as a novel, plant-based approach to oral hygiene. Designed for slow dissolution in the mouth, these lozenges enhance mucosal contact time, facilitating the localized therapeutic effects of Spirulina. Key benefits include antibacterial action, reduction of oral inflammation, prevention of plaque buildup, and promotion of fresh breath. Preliminary observations indicate that Spirulina lozenges may contribute to maintaining oral microbial balance and improving overall oral care. This natural, non-invasive formulation offers a promising alternative for individuals seeking holistic and sustainable oral hygiene solutions.
