‘Nature’s Ozempic’ is gaining traction as a potential substitute for those unable or unwilling to use the medication, opting instead for natural supplements.
Over the past few years, Ozempic has gained widespread recognition due to its effectiveness in weight loss. The medication, primarily used for Type-2 diabetes, contains semaglutide, which works by curbing appetite and reducing calorie intake.
Ozempic, along with similar drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, has attracted significant attention due to their impact, with 15.5 million Americans currently using it. These medications activate GLP-1 receptors, engaging hormonal pathways to regulate blood sugar levels, suppress appetite, and enhance the feeling of fullness.
However, like any medication, users may experience side effects that vary in severity.
Not everyone is willing to risk side effects such as Ozempic Masturbation, Ozempic Finger, Ozempic Vulva, Ozempic Eyes, and Ozempic Gas, leading some to pursue natural alternatives.
Fortunately, Dr. Janine, who shares her expertise on YouTube, has recommended natural supplements that mimic Ozempic’s effects without significant side effects.
“Let’s talk about some natural supplements that work like Ozempic,” Dr. Janine suggests.
She introduces three key supplements and explains their functioning and potential side effects.
Quercetin, according to Dr. Janine, can be taken in capsule form and offers effects similar to Ozempic by increasing GLP-1 without side effects.
Cinnamon is another option she recommends for blood glucose stabilization, along with turmeric, which reportedly boosts GLP-1 and balances the body. Those with sensitivities should avoid these.
Additional natural alternatives are available for those seeking to move away from synthetic drugs.
A commenter noted, “I saw a pharmacist video talking about Berberine doing this same thing.”
This plant extract shows potential, based on medical news sources.
According to News Medical Life Sciences, Berberine, a bioactive alkaloid from various plants, is gaining attention for delivering results akin to Ozempic. It’s often termed ‘nature’s Ozempic’ due to anecdotal claims of weight loss and improved glucose control.
The publication notes both provide enhanced metabolic health, though evidence directly comparing the two is sparse. Berberine appears to achieve similar outcomes through a different mechanism than Ozempic.
Berberine primarily activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates lipid and glucose metabolism. This may aid in managing metabolic diseases like diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
For individuals with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, like myself, Berberine may serve as an Ozempic alternative, potentially reducing insulin resistance, according to Paloma Health.
As always, before altering your supplementation, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider. It’s encouraging to see more natural options emerging in the market.
