Obesity is a major global health challenge, contributing to metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension. The increasing prevalence of obesity, driven by sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, genetic predisposition, underscores the urgent need for effective therapeutic strategies. Conventional pharmacological treatments, including appetite suppressants modulators, often fail provide sustainable weight loss due side effects, adherence, limited long-term efficacy. As result, natural bioactive compounds have gained attention their anti-obesity potential. However, clinical application hindered bioavailability, rapid metabolism, inefficient delivery. Lipid-based nano-carriers, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured carriers, offer promising solution enhancing solubility, stability, targeted delivery these compounds. These advanced systems improve retention, enable controlled release, enhance action on adipose tissue pathways. Additionally, functionalized stimulus-responsive nanocarriers present innovative approaches precision obesity treatment. Despite advancements, challenges remain in large-scale production, regulatory approval, safety. Overcoming barriers critical ensuring successful translation nano-formulated therapies. This review explores potential lipid-based nano-carriers optimizing efficacy highlights role advancing next-generation management

Diabetes mellitus is a long-term metabolic condition marked by chronically high levels of glucose in the blood due to insufficient synthesis insulin or impaired function. Throughout history, several civilizations have used traditional medicinal plants treat and control diabetes. This paper offers thorough review, date, antidiabetic natural compounds origin, specifically highlighting their reported modes mechanisms action therapeutic possibilities, with view fast-tracking possibility transition pharmaceutical products for human use. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides notable effects. They been shown via many processes, including boosting secretion, improving sensitivity, blocking absorption \gastrointestinal-tract, regulating carbohydrate metabolism. Unlike earlier reviews, this current one, addition chemistry proposed action, also x-rays effectiveness safety these chemicals combining evidences from laboratory research, animal experiments, clinical trials. Several substances, Demethoxycurcumin, Trigonelline, Ginsenosides, progressed trials, while others like Allicin Polypeptide-p at bedside. Bisdemethoxycurcumin, Vicine, Gymnemosides, are now preclinical trial phase, suggesting that research still ongoing there promise future application. The review highlights evolution diabetes management, potential improve treatment. It suggests incorporating plant-derived into treatments, reducing dependence on drugs adverse
