Abstract

Gen Z remains active across social media platforms and is strongly interested in digital and social impact. This community service aims to empower future pharmacists in East Java, Indonesia, by increasing their understanding of nutraceuticals through chemical analysis. Students acquire essential skills for their academic activities through practical training in chromatographic analysis and antioxidant activity measurements. This service equips students with practical skills in analyzing nutraceuticals, preparing them for further pharmaceutical studies. The training program was carried out for 88 high school and vocational school pharmacist students using Participatory Action Research (PAR). The main topics discussed are analysis using thin-layer chromatography, evaluation of functional groups in polyphenols, and assessment of antioxidant effectiveness. Pharmacy lecturers facilitate the program by guiding participants in practical competencies. This service results in success, with a better understanding of nutraceuticals and analytical skills gained. This service emphasizes the importance of practical training and educational interventions in preparing students for advanced pharmacy studies.
