ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling weight in mammals by orally administering to the mammal an amount of a pharmaceutical composition containing Hypericum perforatum or active components thereof effective to control the weight of the mammal is described. The pharmaceutical composition also preferably further contains at least one thermogenic agent and at least one agent inhibiting lipogenesis. The at least one thermogenic agent includes one or more of N-acetyl-L-carnitine, cayenne extract, inositol hexanicotinate, niacin or salicin. The at least one agent inhibiting lipogenesis may be hydroxy citric acid. When the pharmaceutical composition includes Hypericum perforatum, at least one thermogenic agent and at least one agent inhibiting lipogenesis, the composition acts to control the weight of the mammal by simultaneously suppressing appetite, inducing thermogenesis and inhibiting lipogenesis.
