Por qué importa
Synthetic diabetes medications like Ozempic have shown weight-loss benefits, prompting interest in natural alternatives.
The weight-loss benefits of injecting synthetic diabetes medication such as Ozempic have been well documented. Now some are touting the benefits of natural alternatives, such as Elcella, developed by British neuroscientists, and Calocurb, a supplement partly funded by the New Zealand government that aims to help the body release GLP-1 hormones. [...] Dr Megan Rossi, however, remains cautious, noting that while the mechanism makes sense, human trial data is limited and mixed, with some participants experiencing digestive issues. [...] Susan Jebb emphasizes that supplements cannot replicate the efficacy of medically licensed drugs, while experts suggest a balanced diet with more protein and fibre might achieve similar weight-loss benefits naturally.
