Abstract
Obesity is a major global health concern associated with numerous chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and metabolic syndrome. The demand for natural and herbal remedies for weight management is growing due to fewer side effects compared to synthetic drugs. This study aims to formulate and evaluate a herbal weight loss powder using six traditional medicinal ingredients known for their digestive and metabolic benefits: Piper nigrum (black pepper), Curcuma longa (turmeric), Linum usitatissimum (flaxseed), Cuminum cyminum (cumin seeds), Foeniculum vulgare (fennel seeds), and Carum carvi (carom seeds).
Each ingredient was selected based on its traditional use and reported pharmacological properties, such as thermogenic effects, antioxidant activity, lipid-lowering properties, and digestive enhancement. The raw materials were cleaned, shade-dried, powdered, and mixed in appropriate proportions to form a homogeneous herbal blend. The formulation was subjected to organoleptic evaluation (color, odor, taste, and texture), powder flow property analysis (bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose), and moisture content testing to ensure stability and quality.
Preliminary phytochemical screening of the individual components confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds, which may contribute to weight management through various mechanisms including appetite suppression, enhanced metabolism, and improved digestion. The formulation showed good flow properties and acceptable sensory characteristics. Accelerated stability studies indicated that the powder maintained its quality under stress conditions.6
The developed herbal weight loss powder offers a promising, natural approach to managing body weight with the added benefits of improved digestion and overall wellness. Further in vivo studies and clinical trials are recommended to validate the efficacy and safety of the formulation
