Abstract

This review delves into the contemporary advancements and research on anti-obesity agents sourced from natural origins. Obesity, a pressing global health concern, necessitates effective interventions due to its association with various comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. Scientific data gathered from databases including PubMed and Scopus, as well as search engines such as Google and Google Scholar, focused on keywords such as “anti-obesity agents,” “herbal anti-obesity agents,” and “mechanism of action of anti-obesity agents.” The review highlights the escalating research efforts toward formulating safe and efficient dosage forms to combat obesity, with synthetic agents often linked to adverse effects. Natural compounds emerge as promising anti-obesity agents due to their minimal side effects, garnering significant interest from researchers. Bioactive compounds and their mechanisms of action in weight reduction are explored, alongside insights into commercialized herbal products and recent advancements in drug delivery systems. Ultimately, the review underscores the potential of natural anti-obesity agents and commercialized herbal products in addressing this pervasive health disorder.
