Imithi yesizukulwane esilandelayo njenge-semaglutide (ethengiswa ngaphansi kwegama lomkhiqizo i-Wegovy ne-Ozempic) kanye ne-tezepatide (ethengiswa ngaphansi kwegama lomkhiqizo i-Mounjaro) iba sematheni ngemiphumela yayo emihle yokwehlisa isisindo uma inikezwa njengengxenye yokwelashwa odokotela abaqeqeshiwe bokukhuluphala.
Kodwa-ke, ukushoda kwemithi kanye nezindleko eziphakeme kwenza kube nzima kubo bonke abangayisebenzisa.
Ngakho-ke kungase kube lula ukuzama ezinye izindlela ezishibhile ezinconywe yizinkundla zokuxhumana noma isitolo sakho sokudla kwezempilo sendawo.
Kodwa nakuba izithasiselo zikhuthazwa kakhulu njengosizo lokunciphisa isisindo, ucwaningo alusekeli ukusebenza kwazo, futhi zingaba yingozi, kuchaza uDkt. Christopher McGowan, udokotela oqinisekiswe yibhodi kwezokwelapha zangaphakathi, i-gastroenterology kanye nemithi yokukhuluphala.
“Siyaqonda ukuthi iziguli zilangazelela ukwelashwa futhi sicabangela zonke izinketho,” etshela i-Insider. “Azikho izithasiselo zokunciphisa isisindo eziqinisekisiwe eziphephile nezisebenzayo. Ungase ugcine uchitha imali yakho.”
Kwezinye izimo, izithasiselo zokwehlisa isisindo zingaba yingozi empilweni ngoba imboni ayilawulwa kahle, okwenza kube nzima ukwazi ukuthi uthatha ini nokuthi uthatha imithamo emingaki.
Uma usalokhu ulingeka, zivikele ngamathiphu ambalwa alula futhi ufunde ngemikhiqizo namalebula adumile.
I-Berberine, into enambitheka kamnandi etholakala ezitshalweni ezifana ne-barberry ne-goldenrod, ibilokhu isetshenziswa emithini yendabuko yaseShayina neyaseNdiya amakhulu eminyaka, kodwa muva nje isibe umkhuba omkhulu wokwehlisa isisindo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.
Abantu abanethonya kuTikTok bathi lesi sithasiselo sibasiza ukuba banciphise isisindo futhi balinganise ama-hormone noma ushukela egazini, kodwa lezi zimangalo zidlula kakhulu ucwaningo oluncane olutholakalayo.
“Ngeshwa, ibizwa ngokuthi ‘i-ozone yemvelo,’ kodwa asikho isisekelo sangempela salokho,” kusho uMcGowan. “Inkinga ukuthi abukho ubufakazi bokuthi inezinzuzo ezithile zokunciphisa isisindo. Lezi “Izifundo bezincane kakhulu, azizange zihlelwe ngokungahleliwe, futhi ingozi yokubandlulula yayiphezulu. Uma kukhona inzuzo, yayingabalulekile ngokwezokwelapha.”
Wanezela ngokuthi i-berberine ingadala nemiphumela emibi yesisu njengesicanucanu futhi ingasebenzisana nemithi kadokotela.
Uhlobo olulodwa oludumile lwesengezo sokwehlisa isisindo luhlanganisa izinto eziningana ezahlukene ngaphansi kwegama lomkhiqizo elilodwa bese luzithengisa ngamagama adumile njengokuthi “impilo ye-metabolic,” “ukulawula isifiso sokudla,” noma “ukunciphisa amafutha.”
UMcGowan uthi le mikhiqizo, eyaziwa ngokuthi “izingxube eziqondene nobunikazi,” ingaba yingozi kakhulu ngoba uhlu lwezithako luvame ukuba nzima ukuluqonda futhi lugcwele amakhemikhali anophawu lokuhweba, okwenza kungacaci ukuthi uthengani ngempela.
“Ngincoma ukugwema ukuxubana okuyimfihlo ngenxa yokungacaci kahle kwawo,” esho. “Uma uzothatha isithako, namathela esithakweni esisodwa. Gwema imikhiqizo eneziqinisekiso kanye nezimangalo ezinkulu.”
Inkinga enkulu ngezithako zokudla ngokuvamile ukuthi azilawulwa yi-FDA, okusho ukuthi izithako zazo kanye nomthamo wazo azinawo amandla okulawula okungaphezu kwalokho okushiwo yinkampani.
Ngakho-ke, kungenzeka zingabi nezithako ezikhangisiwe futhi zingase zibe nemithamo ehlukile kuleyo enconyiwe elebula. Kwezinye izimo, izithasiselo zitholakale ziqukethe izinto ezingcolisayo eziyingozi, izinto ezingekho emthethweni, noma imithi kadokotela.
Ezinye izithako zokwehlisa isisindo ezidumile sezikhona iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi, naphezu kobufakazi bokuthi azisebenzi futhi zingase zingaphephile.
I-HCG, efushaniswa ne-human chorionic gonadotropin, iyi-hormone ekhiqizwa umzimba ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Yathandwa kakhulu ngendlela yezithasiselo kanye nokudla okunama-calories angu-500 ngosuku njengengxenye yohlelo lokunciphisa isisindo ngokushesha futhi yavezwa ku-The Dr. Oz Show.
Kodwa-ke, i-hCG ayivunyelwe ukusetshenziswa ngaphandle kwemithi kadokotela futhi ingabangela imiphumela emibi ehlanganisa ukukhathala, ukucasuka, ukwakheka koketshezi, kanye nengozi yokuqhekeka kwegazi.
“Ngishaqekile ukuthi kusenemitholampilo enikeza izinsizakalo zokwehlisa isisindo ngaphandle kobufakazi obugcwele kanye nezixwayiso ezivela ku-FDA kanye ne-American Medical Association,” kusho uMcGowan.
Elinye ikhambi lokwehlisa isisindo elikhuthazwa nguDkt. Oz yi-garcinia cambogia, isakhi esikhishwe eqabungeni lezithelo zasezindaweni ezishisayo okuthiwa sivimbela ukuqongelela kwamafutha emzimbeni. Kodwa izifundo zibonise ukuthi i-garcinia cambogia ayisebenzi kangcono ekunciphiseni isisindo kune-placebo. Ezinye izifundo zixhumanise lesi sithako nokwehluleka kwesibindi.
UMcGowan uthe izithasiselo ezifana ne-garcinia zingase zibonakale zikhanga ngenxa yombono ongaqondile wokuthi amakhemikhali emvelo aphephile ngokwemvelo kunemithi, kodwa imikhiqizo yamakhambi isalokhu inezingozi.
“Kufanele ukhumbule ukuthi noma ngabe kuyisengezo semvelo, sisakhiqizwa efektri,” kusho uMcGowan.
Uma ubona umkhiqizo okhangiswa ngokuthi “ushisa amafutha,” kungenzeka ukuthi isithako esiyinhloko yi-caffeine ngandlela thile, okuhlanganisa itiye eliluhlaza noma i-coffee bean extract. UMcGowan uthe i-caffeine inezinzuzo ezifana nokuthuthukisa ukuqaphela, kodwa akuyona into ebalulekile ekwehliseni isisindo.
“Siyazi ukuthi ngokuyisisekelo kwandisa amandla, futhi yize kuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwezemidlalo, akwenzi mehluko ngempela ngezinga,” kusho yena.
Imithamo emikhulu ye-caffeine ingabangela imiphumela emibi njengokuphazamiseka kwesisu, ukukhathazeka, kanye nekhanda elibuhlungu. Izithasiselo ezine-caffeine eningi zingadala nokweqisa okuyingozi, okungaholela ekuqulekeni, ekukhomeni noma ekufeni.
Esinye isigaba esidumile sezithako zokwehlisa isisindo sihlose ukukusiza ukuthi uthole i-fiber eningi, i-carbohydrate okunzima ukuyigaya esiza ekusekeleni ukugaya ukudla okunempilo.
Esinye sezithako zefayibha ezithandwa kakhulu yi-psyllium husk, i-powder ekhishwe embewini yesitshalo esidabuka eNingizimu Asia.
UMcGowan uthi nakuba i-fiber iyisakhi esibalulekile ekudleni okunempilo futhi ingasekela ukwehlisa isisindo ngokukusiza uzizwe usuthi ngemva kokudla, abukho ubufakazi obuqinisekile bokuthi ingakusiza ukwehlisa isisindo ngokwayo.
Kodwa-ke, ukudla i-fiber eningi, ikakhulukazi ukudla okuphelele okugcwele izakhamzimba njengemifino, ubhontshisi, imbewu nezithelo, kuwumqondo omuhle wempilo iyonke.
UMcGowan uthi izinhlobo ezintsha zezithako zokwehlisa isisindo zihlala zivela emakethe, futhi izitayela ezindala zivame ukuvela, okwenza kube nzima ukulandelela zonke izimangalo zokwehlisa isisindo.
Kodwa-ke, abakhiqizi bezithako zokudla bayaqhubeka nokwenza izimangalo ezinesibindi, futhi ucwaningo lungaba nzima kumthengi ojwayelekile ukuluqonda.
“Akulungile ukulindela ukuthi umuntu ojwayelekile aqonde lezi zitatimende – angikwazi ukuziqonda kahle,” kusho uMcGowan. “Kudingeka ujule kakhulu ngoba imikhiqizo ithi ifundwe, kodwa lezo zifundo zingase zibe zekhwalithi ephansi futhi zingabonisi lutho.”
Iphuzu elibalulekile, uthi, okwamanje abukho ubufakazi bokuthi noma yisiphi isithasiselo siphephile noma siyasebenza ekunciphiseni isisindo.
“Ungabheka ngaphakathi kwe-supplement aisle futhi igcwele imikhiqizo ethi ikusiza ukwehlisa isisindo, kodwa ngeshwa abukho ubufakazi bokukusekela,” kusho uMcGowan. “Ngihlala ngincoma ukubona uchwepheshe wezempilo ukuze nixoxe ngezinketho zenu, noma okungcono”. Kodwa-ke, uma ufika endaweni ye-supplement aisle, qhubeka.”
