A report claims researchers have identified a low-cost supplement that may help people lose weight and could increase the body’s GLP-1 levels. The outlet says the product costs about £1.50 per day and, in a two-month period, may lead to weight loss comparable to that seen with well-known GLP-1-based injections.
Both items cite “experts” and describe the supplement as potentially offering similar weight-loss outcomes to drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, while avoiding side effects associated with prescription injections. The articles also characterize the supplement as “exciting,” adding that it may act by boosting endogenous GLP-1. However, both sources provide the same broad claims without adding specific trial details or independent confirmation, so the extent of evidence, study size, and methods is not established in the excerpts provided.
Overall, the shared angle across the outlets is that a very inexpensive supplement could produce GLP-1–linked weight loss comparable to prescription GLP-1 injections, but the coverage does not clearly differentiate between preliminary findings and established clinical results.
