Abstract

The development of plant-based dietary supplements is emerging as a crucial field of study, combining traditional phytotherapy principles with contemporary scientific advancements in nutrition and pharmacology. The studied species are Passiflora incarnata, Taraxacum officinale and Melissa officinalis ; they were harvested in theregion of Bejaia and were chosen due to their widespread traditional consumption by local populations and their established anxiolytic, sedative, and relaxing properties. The phytochemical screening allowed the identification of several components, including tannins, saponosides, flavonoids, coumarins, and alkaloids, thereby confirming the relevance of the results and the sought-after properties. The evaluation of antioxidant activity using the DPPH radical trap test showed that the aqueous extracts of Melissa officinalis and Taraxacum officinale possess antioxidant activity. The final formulation of the dietary supplement was optimized to combine these components synergistically, aiming to offer a safe and effective product. The promising results of this research highlight the potential of Kabyle plants in the development of innovative dietary supplements
