With the rising costs of GLP-1 weight loss injections in the UK, experts are highlighting natural alternatives that may help curb appetite and promote weight loss. Supplements like berberine and apple cider vinegar, costing as little as £2 per month, show potential for modest weight loss, though they may not match the effectiveness of prescription medications.

• 01Berberine, often called 'nature's Ozempic', can lead to a weight loss of 1-4kg over 8-12 weeks and costs between £15-£40 per month.
• 02NMN supplements, which may improve metabolism, have shown mixed results in weight loss studies, averaging 1-2kg loss per month.
• 03Apple cider vinegar's effectiveness for weight loss is uncertain, with potential side effects like nausea and a need for high liquid intake.
• 04Glucomannan, a fiber supplement, can lead to modest weight loss of approximately 1.3kg over five weeks but may cause digestive issues.
• 05Psyllium husk powder has been found to help with weight loss by increasing fullness, potentially resulting in a loss of 2.1kg over five months.

These natural alternatives may provide accessible weight loss solutions for individuals who cannot afford expensive GLP-1 injections, potentially improving their health and wellbeing.
