Natural products have been consumed for generations and have become the backbone of herbal and traditional medical practitioners. Almost in every community, you will find unique concoctions for nearly every medical condition. The inclusion of these remedies is gaining popularity again as research is beginning to peel the layers of secrecy and reveal the true potential that has been locked away. With revelation from high antioxidant activity to strong anti-cancer properties, traditionally consumed plants are beginning to make headway again in the modern world. However, while the trend toward using traditional and herbal medicines has developed nowadays, there is a growing concern regarding them being polluted with heavy metals, as shown in recent studies. It is now becoming clear that there is a need to characterize and study individual plant species' bioactivities and determine how these characteristics are modified when preparing blends or supplements to be used as a delivery option. This paper presents two popularly consumed plants, Moringa oleifera and Piper betle, that have been extensively characterized and produced in capsules to be delivered as a food supplement. © 2022 International Society for Horticultural Science.
