Natural alternative to Ozempic brings results without side effects
After screening 20,000 protein-encoding genes in the human body, Stanford researchers have identified a naturally occurring molecule that works like semaglutide, most popularly known as Ozempic, to put the brakes on appetite and weight gain.
After screening 20,000 protein-encoding genes in the human body, Stanford researchers have identified a naturally occurring molecule that works like semaglutide, most popularly known as Ozempic, to put the brakes on appetite and weight gain. So, researchers led by a team at Stanford Medicine set out to see if they could find a natural alternative to semaglutide that would deliver its weight-loss benefits while reducing or eliminating its side effects. In obese mice, a daily injection of BRP for 14 days caused the rodents to lose an average of three grams (about 0.1 oz) due primarily to fat loss, and to demonstrate better glucose and insulin tolerance.
