The Weight Loss Chewing Gum will stop the epidemic of obesity in Europe and USA

Scientists from the Great Britain are working on the new method of approach to the therapy of obesity: the Weight Loss Gum.

The new type of medicine, which will be available as a chewing gum or injection will lower your appetite and stimulate the feeling of satiety, which comes after filling up the stomach with food.

The drug will be based on the natural gastrointestinal tract hormone, which is produced by your stomach as a reply to the food consumption, and provides the feeling of satiety.

Preliminarily, the drug will be sold as an injection, however, it is planned to produce it as a chewing gum or nasal spray in the near future.

The head of the research Steve Blume from the Imperial College says that creation of non-toxic drug with great number of side effects is not the goal of the research. Instead, they are trying to make a natural hormone analog, that could regulate the stomach behavior.

The specific local hormone from the neuro-immune system of the gastrointestinal tract became a real discovery and the key to success.

During the preliminary clinical examinations on volunteers the new drug showed reduction of appetite by 20%.

We all know that pharmacological medicine has side effects, however scientists believe that the new drug will not have unpleasant effects, because of its natural origin.
