BON Announces Identification of Promising Weight-Managing Compounds from Tea via AI-Powered New Drug R&D Platform

XI'AN, China, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bon Natural Life Limited (Nasdaq: BON) ("BON" or the "Company"), a leading bio-ingredient solution provider in the natural, health and personal care industry, today announced a groundbreaking identification of a class of natural polyphenolic compounds from a tea-derived product via its AI-Powered new drug research and development (R&D) platform. Preliminary tests demonstrate that these compounds exhibit significant activity in weight management, with key efficacy indicators outperforming current mainstream weight-managing drugs, injecting new momentum into global R&D of weight-managing drugs.

With a worsening global obesity crisis, the weight-managing product market is experiencing robust growth. Data shows that the global weight-managing product market reached USD423.27 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% to USD601.26 billion by 2029¹. This market growth is primarily driven by the expanding obese population and rising awareness of healthy weight management.

BON's AI platform integrates massive datasets of natural compounds and biomedical knowledge, leveraging advanced algorithms and innovative models. Its high-efficiency data analysis and screening capabilities have significantly shortened the component screening cycle traditionally associated with drug R&D, enabling the successful identification of these compounds with weight-loss potential. Preliminary animal studies showed significant weight reduction at specific compound doses, with no obvious adverse effects observed. Currently, the Company has established a dedicated team to advance follow-up work, including research into the compounds' mechanisms of action, structural optimization, expanded animal trials, and preparation for clinical trials.

BON believes that the weight-managing product market represents a large-scale therapeutic area with substantial growth potential. If the Company successfully launches this new drug, it is well-positioned to capture a significant share of the global weight management therapeutics market - a development that would fundamentally and revolutionarily enhance the Company's investment value while delivering substantial returns to shareholders.

Meanwhile, this R&D breakthrough has enabled the Company to efficiently and accurately identify weight-managing active molecules from natural tea-derived products. It also provides preliminary validation of the feasibility of BON's AI-based new drug R&D platform, helping the Company establish a highly efficient, new R&D model. This will lay a solid foundation for the Company's AI-driven R&D business focused on natural compound-based new drugs, accelerate the development of its AI-powered innovative drug research initiatives, and continue to create greater value for shareholders.
