Obesity represents an increasingly significant public health issue globally, with serious health and economic consequences. Currently, over half of the population in developed nations is classified as obese or overweight. It is widely acknowledged as the most pressing and rapidly escalating health challenge worldwide, impacting both adults and children. Recent scientific findings indicate that both genetic predispositions and environmental influences play a role in the increase of obesity. Obesity is not merely an aesthetic issue; it constitutes a medical concern that heightens the risk of various other diseases and health conditions. These include heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, liver disease, sleep apnea, and certain types of cancer. The current study investigates the potential of nutraceutical powders in managing obesity.
Nutraceutical is a term combining 'nutrition' and 'pharmaceutical'. Nutraceuticals are food products that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition, aimed at preventing or treating illnesses and enhancing overall wellness. This category encompasses dietary supplements, functional foods, herbal remedies, and fortified foods that promote health and ward off diseases. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that certain crude substances (pomegranate peel, green tea, turmeric, ashwagandha, and cinnamon) contain active compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, epigallocatechin gallate, curcumin, cinnamaldehyde, and withanolides that facilitate weight loss when compared to commercially available nutraceutical products.
