Scientists Develop Low-Cost Supplement to Reduce Appetite and Calorie Intake
UK scientists have created a low-cost supplement, Elcella, to reduce appetite and calorie intake without the unpleasant side effects associated with weight loss injections. Elcella is a twice-daily capsule that mimics the natural process of the body by releasing high levels of appetite-suppressing hormones PYY and GLP-1.
How it Works
Elcella’s unique formula contains diindolylmethane, alpha-linolenic acid, and lauric acid, which may support weight loss by improving estrogen metabolism, influencing appetite hormones, and helping with calorie burning. The capsule’s special coating protects the nutrients, allowing them to be easily delivered to the colon.
Clinical Trials and Results
In clinical trials, patients taking Elcella reduced their calorie intake by an average of 13% compared to those taking a placebo. There were no reported side effects. Dr. Madusha Peiris, a neurogastroenterology researcher at Queen Mary University of London, believes that Elcella’s ability to release the body’s natural appetite-reducing hormones sets it apart from other weight loss drugs.
Availability and Pricing
Elcella will be available over the counter at a lower cost than prescription weight loss injections, such as Ozempic and Victoza. The supplement is expected to launch in the UK next year through an e-commerce site.
Potential for Diabetes Treatment
Elcella’s potential as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes is being explored by Dr. Peiris. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating insulin levels, making Elcella a promising option for those struggling with the condition.
Concerns from the Medical Community
While Elcella may be a promising alternative to traditional weight loss methods, some medical professionals are concerned about the lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of similar supplements. Dr. Hans Schmidt, a New Jersey bariatric surgeon, warns that "if you can just go buy a supplement and lose 20 or 30, 40 pounds, you couldn’t hear the end of it… It would be all over the place, but they’re not."
