Obesity

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat, which can negatively impact overall health. It is typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), with a BMI of 30 or higher classified as obese.

The following nutraceuticals have shown some positive effects on obesity:

• Berberine

Berberine

Berberine is a bioactive compound derived from several plants, including Berberis vulgaris (barberry), and has a rich history in traditional medicine. Berberine has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. It was primarily utilized for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive health benefits. Ancient texts document its use for treating infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and as a general tonic.

In recent years, berberine has gained attention in the scientific community for its potential health benefits. Studies have shown that it may help regulate blood sugar levels, improve lipid profiles, and support weight loss. Berberine is known to activate AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), which plays a crucial role in cellular energy homeostasis and metabolism. Today, berberine is widely available as a dietary supplement, often marketed for its effects on metabolic health and cardiovascular support.

Plant sterols and stanols

Plant sterols and stanols are natural compounds found in various plant-based foods that resemble cholesterol in structure. They are primarily derived from vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. These compounds are known for their cholesterol-lowering properties, as they can inhibit the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestines.
