This study explores the synergistic potential of Quassia Amara and Monk Fruit in the development of an herbal beverage aimed at managing diabetes and supporting gut health. Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder, poses significant health challenges globally, necessitating innovative interventions. Quassia Amara, known for its anti-diabetic and digestive properties, and Monk Fruit, recognized for its natural sweetness and potential anti-diabetic effects, were combined to create a novel beverage formulation. Results indicate promising outcomes, suggesting the potential of the herbal beverage in regulating blood glucose levels, enhancing gut microbiota composition, and exerting antioxidant effects. This study underscores the significance of synergistic herbal formulations as an adjunctive approach for diabetes management and gut health promotion, offering a natural and overall solution to combat this prevalent health concern. Further sensory evaluation was taken for 40 participants on a 9 point hedonic scale where the overall acceptability was found to be comestible.
