Purporting to be an injection-less and medication-less alternative to traditional GLP-1s, and with no side effects, supplement maker Elénzia lays out bold claims about its Control product.
Claiming to naturally stimulate the same metabolic pathways as GLP-1s like Ozempic, Elénzia’s Control supplement has been developed using a “science-led” formulation combining “clinically proven ingredients and essential metabolic nutrients”.
Its makeup “helps regulate blood sugar, enhance satiety and support liver function, offering a natural alternative for those looking to manage cravings, energy and weight loss”.
GLP-1 boosting ingredients
Ingredients include the lemon bioflavonoid, eriomin, and milk thistle extract, siliphos. Each chosen to provide support for the liver and thyroid.
Blood glucose medications already on the market “set people up for disappointment”, as they focus solely on weight loss, says Elénzia innovation manager and nutrition scientist Alexander Pilawski.
“Weight gain is just a symptom, not a cause. Control takes a different approach, supporting the metabolism at its core and targeting organs that need extra support,” says Pilawski.
Studies showed the supplement provides a 22% increase in GLP-1 levels, leading to fewer cravings and glucose spikes. The same data also showed an 11% decrease in insulin resistance.
Within three months, near a quarter of prediabetic participants saw a reversal in their condition with no lifestyle changes.
Scientists behind the supplement believe it offers consumers a safer alternative to traditional GLP-1 drugs, but without concerns over side effects.
A sustainable weight management solution
They also claim it provides a sustainable, long-term solution to hunger and weight management.
The supplement launches as food and drink manufacturers seek to launch products to support consumers coming to the end of their GLP-1 prescriptions.
With most, consumers tend to use GLP-1s for six to 12 months, but once they’re off the drug it is easy for the results to be reversed, as appetite suppression can deplete from day three.
As a result, manufacturers are exploring food and drink options to help consumers stay fuller for longer, including those higher in lean proteins and fibres.
