Exercise in a bottle? Nestle is working on that

Exercise in a bottle? Might seem like a far away dream but Nestle says they have made a product that can do just that.

Nestle is claiming to be developing a new drink that could burn fat in the human body in the same way that exercise does. By researching the enzymes and compounds that help to burn fat, the Swiss-based food manufacturer thinks that they have been able to synthesize a new product that can do the same thing.

The compound named C13, is useful in controlling the body metabolism by fortifying particular catalysts called AMPK. For the study, mice were subjected to the analysis, which demonstrated that the enzyme has the ability to stop fat production from their liver.

"Instead of 20 minutes of jogging or 40 minutes of cycling, it may help boost metabolism with moderate exercise like brisk walking," Kei Sakamoto, a Nestle scientist, told Bloomberg's Corinne Gretler. "They'd get similar effects with less strain."

Dr. Silvana Obici, an endocrinologist at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, was confident about a drink that may stimulate the metabolism. She said "as a doctor, I need to bring up that any medication that we have available to us for weight reduction and obesity (does) not work unless you are implementing routine changes." Jean-Phillippe Bertschy, expert at Bank Vontobel AG in Zurich clarified "the fringe in the middle of food and pharma will contracted in the upcoming years." He included "organizations with an expanded health food portfolio will rise as the victors."

Fitness experts do have positive opinion about the upcoming Nestle product saying it could greatly help people who have no time to exercise.
