Abstract
EXCESSIVE ADIPOSITY and its concomitant health risks are among the most common conditions managed by health care practitioners. The limited long-term effectiveness of conventional weight management, including behavioral therapy,1 is the impetus of major efforts aimed at developing alternative pharmacologic2 and surgical weight reduction treatment strategies.3 A rapidly growing therapeutic area, and one widely embraced by the general public, is the use of herbal weight loss products.Keywords
