Alternative to the ­slimming ­injection

Losing weight with a slimming injection is currently the trend everywhere. What few people realise is that there are natural alternatives that are based on the same active principle as weight loss injections.

Slimming syringe hype

The hype surrounding weight loss injections is huge, but customers report severe side effects such as persistent nausea, vomiting, constipation, headaches, diarrhoea and pancreatitis. It is therefore always advisable to consult a doctor before use. The active ingredient semaglutide was originally developed for use in type 2 diabetes patients. The injection is used once a week and is only available on prescription.

Principle of action: GLP1 booster

The effect of the slimming injections is based on the activation of the production of the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1). This hormone, which is produced in the intestine, causes an increased production of insulin – hence the original use of the slimming injection for diabetes 2 patients – and also promotes satiety and delays the emptying of the stomach. This results in an early, but also longer-lasting feeling of fullness.

Side-effect-free alternatives to weight loss injections

GLP-1 can not only be influenced by drugs, essential amino acids or plant substances such as berberine have also been shown to have a positive influence on GLP-1. Various studies have shown that the intake of at least 30 g of essential amino acids promotes GLP-1 formation. The amino acid leucine is particularly important here. 3 g of leucine has the same effect as 30 g of mixed amino acids. The advantage of amino acids: GLP-1 activation but without side effects.

Berberine - herbal GLP-1 booster

Berberine, a plant substance that is also contained in barberry, has long been known for its blood sugar level regulating effect. The latest studies show that this effect is based on the activation of GLP-1 receptors. This makes berberine a potent but side-effect-free alternative to drugs such as semaglutide.
