Abstract

The use of food supplements for weight loss purposes has rapidly gained popularity as the prevalence of obesity increases. Navigating through the vast, often low quality, literature available is challenging, as is providing informed advice to those asking for it. Herein, we provide a comprehensive literature revision focusing on most currently marketed dietary supplements claimed to favor weight loss, classifying them by their purported mechanism of action. We conclude by proposing a combination of supplements most supported by current evidence, that leverages all mechanisms of action possibly leading to a synergistic effect and greater weight loss in the foreseen absence of adverse events. Further studies will be needed to confirm the weight loss and metabolic improvement that may be obtained through the use of the proposed combination.

Keywords: botanicals; dietary supplements; insulin resistance; metabolic syndrome; nutraceuticals; obesity; weight loss.

This is a timely and important review! With so many dietary supplements on the market, it’s crucial to differentiate between those that are genuinely effective and those that lack scientific backing. Your classification of supplements by their mechanisms of action provides a clear framework for understanding how they work. I’m especially interested in the proposed combination of supplements and its potential for synergy—this could be a game changer for those struggling with weight loss. I look forward to seeing further research on this topic to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects. Thank you for shedding light on this complex issue! <a href="https://ctadvancedspine.com/">ct adavancespine</a>
