The present study aims to develop a Nutrient-rich Functional Detox Beverage, termed Immune Boost Revival Health Drink, by infusing water with selected fruits, vegetables, herbs and seeds known for their antioxidant and immune-supportive properties. The drink was formulated in three variants (T1, T2, T3) using ingredients such as beetroot, carrot, cucumber, mint, ginger, chia seeds and lemon with the primary goal of enhancing hydration and providing micronutrients critical to immune health. Sensory evaluation was conducted among 20 panelists to assess organoleptic acceptability, T3 showed the highest overall acceptance score (8.5/9). Nutritional, mineral, vitamin, and antioxidant profiles of T3 were analyzed, showing appreciable levels of vitamin A (5028 mg/100g), potassium (254 mg/100g), and antioxidant activity (FRAP: 3200.1 µmol). Microbiological analysis confirmed the safety and shelf stability of the drink up to three months under refrigerated conditions. One-way ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences among the three variants (p = 0.957), supporting the robustness of the formulation. Detox beverage showed a promising functional drink for immune support with high Nutritional and Sensory quality.
