    Abstract
    In response to the growing global need for affordable, sustainable, and effective nutritional interventions, this project explores the development of a microalgae-based vitamin pouch designed to target metabolic health. Spirulina and Euglena, two nutrient-dense microalgae species, serve as the foundation, providing bioavailable protein, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and key micronutrients known to regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular energy production. By integrating research in biotechnology, nutrition science, and sustainable agriculture, this project demonstrates how natural resources can be harnessed to create a functional product aimed at improving metabolic resilience. Through market research and competitive analysis, microalgae were identified as a game-changing solution compared to conventional plant-based protein sources, offering superior nutrient density, digestibility, and environmental sustainability. Beyond scientific formulation, this thesis also encompasses the creative branding of the product, including product naming, label design, and visual identity to support future commercialization. Ultimately, this project envisions a scalable, sustainable solution to help bridge modern wellness trends with urgent global health needs, empowering individuals to fuel their metabolic health naturally and effectively.
