Has AI discovered the next Ozempic? Researchers in Spain race to patent two plant extracts they think could be the next big thing for weight loss

Artificial intelligence has uncovered two plants that provide the same weight loss results as Ozempic, according to a new study. Researchers at the Catholic University of Murcia in Spain reported that the plants contain similar agonists - a substance mimicking a hormone response - to those in Ozempic. AI software analyzed thousands of natural compounds that could offer the same weight loss components and eventually narrowed down two plant extracts. Researchers set out to find a plant alternative due to many individuals experiencing side effects and regaining weight once of the prescription drug. The team also said that not only would the plants be easier on the body, but they would also be more accessible and cost effective - Ozempic costs about 936 a month.
