A wave of “natural Ozempic” products is promising easier weight loss, but experts say the evidence is thin. In The Advertiser’s report, supplements such as psyllium husk, berberine and turmeric are described as offering only modest or inconsistent benefits compared with GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy.
Some products may help with appetite or blood sugar, but researchers warn they do not match the potency of prescription medicines. Dietitian Linia Patel also cautions that the supplement market is poorly regulated, meaning some products may interact with medications or carry health risks.
