Elcella, a new pill developed by British scientists, aims to control appetite without the severe side effects associated with weight-loss injections like Ozempic.
A British scientist claims to have created a 'natural Ozempic' pill that controls the appetite without the debilitating side effects of weight loss jabs. Taken twice a day, Elcella capsules contain just three ingredients, linseed oil, also known as flaxseed, coconut oil and MCT oil, which is also derived from coconuts. Together, these trigger the release of hormones in the gut — glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, and peptide YY — that cause feelings of fullness.
Slimming drugs like Ozempic, Wegov and Mounjaro work by mimicking GLP-1 — but also cause nausea and other distressing, and even life-threatening side effects. Meanwhile, a clinical trial for Elcella showed obese patients reduced their calorie intake by 18 per cent on the pills and reported no complications. Elcella inventor Dr Madusha Peiris and her colleague Dr Rubina Aktar from Queen Mary University, London, hope the discovery will 'solve the global obesity epidemic'. Dr Peiris added: 'The tragedy of obesity is that you lose much of your ability to tell when you're full. 'We found a combination of nutrients triggers hormones that control appetite, so you eat less and lose weight.

Elcella is not available yet to purchase but is expected in launch in April 2025. At present, it is available to eligible patients as part of a controlled clinical trial — and would-be volunteers can find out more on the Elcella websit
