Abstract

Nanophytosomes (NPs) represent an innovative nanocarrier-based drug delivery system designed to enhance the bioavailability of phytochemical-derived nutraceuticals in both the food and pharmaceutical industries. These plant- or herb-based vesicular systems exhibit superior absorption in biological systems compared to conventional herbal extracts. Traditional herbal medicines, although widely used for their therapeutic benefits, often suffer from limitations such as poor lipid solubility, suboptimal molecular size, and low bioactivity—factors that hinder their absorption and overall bioavailability. Obesity is a significant global health challenge, with its prevalence and associated comorbidities steadily increasing worldwide. The rising incidence of obesity poses a serious public health concern, as it profoundly impacts individuals' quality of life and contributes to various non-communicable diseases. Conventional treatments for obesity typically involve synthetic pharmaceutical agents and surgical interventions, both of which carry the risk of adverse side effects and a high likelihood of relapse. As a result, there is growing interest in alternative, safer, and more sustainable approaches. The existing research on the use of medicinal plants as natural anti-obesity agents, highlighting their botanical sources, active phytochemical constituents, and proposed mechanisms of action. The findings underscore the potential of plant-based compounds in obesity management and emphasize the need for continued research into novel phytoconstituents for safer, more effective anti-obesity therapies.
