As slimming jabs explode in popularity, interest is growing in a potential alternative, in the form of a weight-loss supplement sometimes called “natural Ozempic”.
It consists of natural oils designed to stimulate production of hormones normally released after eating – one of which is the same hormone mimicked by weight-loss jabs, called GLP-1.
There is some evidence supporting the supplement, but experts, including one of the developers of Ozempic, have said the science is still at too early a stage to show the product works.
