The £1-a-day appetite-suppressing supplement that's seen shoppers 'lost a stone' and 'stay healthy'
When it comes to weight loss, there's a lot of noise out there about fast ways to shed extra pounds and go on fitness journeys. From weight loss injections to fad diets, it can be overwhelming to find a long-term, sustainable option that actually works.
Wellness brand Feel may have a solution for people. It's said to believe in the power of simplicity when it comes to health, and the products are backed by scientific research and free from nasty additives. Now, shoppers can grab 30 sachets of the brand's Pro Metabolic powder for £49.95 - when subscribed - down from its one-time price of £64.94 on its website.
This powder is said to be a natural alternative to appetite-suppressing injections that avoids the growing concerns around synthetic treatments. It also has a science-backed formula and a blend designed to curb cravings and support weight management without disrupting the body's balance.
To understand how it works, the brand explains that it is designed to stimulate the body's GLP-1 secretion which is a powerful hormone released by L-cells in the gut when you eat - helping people to manage appetite, curb cravings and also support metabolic health. By stimulating GLP-1 production, Feel Pro Metabolic helps users feel satisfied with smaller portions and stay full for longer.

Product Description
The ingredients - which include Kombucha Black Tea, which enhances gut microbiota and GLP-1 secretion, Leaf Powder, Soy Peptide, Bifidobacterium breve, which was found to improve fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity (12-week RCT), and Rockit Apple - are designed to adjust the body's hunger mechanisms, and each one has been validated via in vitro and in vivo studies to ensure efficacy in re-calibrating the body gradually to a less hungry and less snacking version in 90 days.
The product is also vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free and non-GMO. It contains no artificial sweeteners, colours or flavourings. To use it, shoppers simply need to take one sachet per day, blended into 300-400ml of water and stirred.
Elsewhere on the market, shoppers could try the Artah Metabolic Fix, Food Supplement, 60 Capsules for £32 from Boots, which includes Berberine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Inositol and Chromium, and two capsules should be taken in the morning with food. Another option is the Metabolic Xtra with Svetol Green Coffee Extract for £40.94 when subscribed, and is said to be a nutrient support for everyday balance.
Customers have shared their positive reviews on the Pro Metabolic from Feel. One shopoer said: "Lost over a stone, helped with appetite control, very happy! Will reorder again on my third box."
Another wrote: "Fills me up, I'm snacking less and lost 3lbs already. Blends well, tastes great too!"
"Definitely noticed less bloating and I've lost almost a stone!" said another shopper.
Some others did share opposing reviews, however, as one buyer wrote: "I can feel the effects however I often get headaches when I have it. So this time I won't be carrying on the subscription."
Another said: "Been on pro metabolic for two months and no change yet. Been told I have to wait for three months. Worried I'm wasting my money."

Building a world-class digital healthcare business
Going global while providing personalised clinical care is possible, writes Addy Mohammed Sign up to our Scotsman Money newsletter, covering all you need to know to help manage your money.

Across global media in 2025, we continue to read about how healthcare systems are struggling worldwide – with commonplace issues ranging from high costs and insufficient staff to long waiting lists. And, as we operate in the UK, Germany, Denmark, and Germany, we're seeing these challenges firsthand out on the coalface. I co-founded Simple Online alongside my university friend Karim Nassar in 2015, building on our experience of owning and operating community pharmacies across Scotland to offer a convenient patient-first pharmacy service with medications delivered direct to the door. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We now utilise technology to give patients quick and discrete access to the care they need, at a much lower cost than traditional healthcare models. Combining technology with a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals, we can provide that level of personalised clinical care you might expect from a local community pharmacy. Digital pharmacies are growing massively Our vision is to make healthcare more affordable and accessible, supporting our patients with personalised tools and the knowledge to make long-term lifestyle changes. So, for example, we were one of the first providers of weight loss medications in the UK, investing significantly in a weight management programme that combines GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro alongside holistic weight management support from a wide team of specialist healthcare professionals. To say we are in a fast-moving market would be an understatement when you consider that the global online pharmacy market is valued at almost £100 billion, and forecast to grow to around £400bn by 2033. Digital healthcare is evolving rapidly – ten years ago digital clinics were only in their infancy, so we're committed to investing in technology that enhances the patient journey so we can always deliver best-in-class care. In April we marked our tenth anniversary with record monthly revenue, but the last thing we're going to do is rest on our laurels. Scaling a technology company is no easy shift, particularly when you are investing across geographies, supply chains, technology and talent. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This year we will be strengthening our leadership team as we enter our next phase of growth. And we remain thankful to have non-executive Directors of Shane Corstorphine and Jules Pancholi's calibre to lean on as we plot further growth and international expansion. The global online pharmacy market is valued at almost £100 billion, writes Addy Mohammed (Picture: Stewart Attwood) Reflecting on how far we've come over the last ten years, one thing that stands out is that we've managed to get to this point while being self-funded, something of an oxymoron for a fast-growing technology company in 2025. While VCs have knocked on the door over the years, we've resisted the venture capital route to date. We are bootstrapped and still learning every day. And having non-execs in our corner has been more valuable than any funding we could have sought. We always want to keep learning and growing, while building a world-class digital healthcare business from a base in Scotland.

Concerns rise among authorities over supply of weight loss drugs
Some of the drugs have recently become available on the NHS but the majority who use them purchase them from online pharmacies and in private because it is not regularly prescribed by the NHS. Many doctors in Scotland are unable to prescribe them due to the cost with the two main drugs being semaglutide under the brand name WeGovy and tirzepatide under the brand name Mounjaro. This has led to a black market for the drug and a letter was sent to healthcare professionals to tell them to be cautious of potential illicit drugs and to report anything they may find to Police Scotland. The force is not running an official investigation at this stage, but it is asking for any information that may help them in the future if the problem continues to grow. In the letter, seen by The Herald and sent by the [[Scottish Government]]'s Chief Pharmaceutical Officer Professor Alison Strath, reveals that a number of NHS weight management programmes have attendees who have told them they are using the drugs without a prescription. This has caused concern for medical professionals and the Government and the letter is encouraging staff to report the illicit supply anonymously. It is estimated almost 1.5 million people across the UK are using the GLP-1 injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy. Figures also show that 80% of those are buying from online retailers and the fear is that many are paying out cash regularly but not receiving the correct medicine. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'We work closely with a range of partners including Public Health Scotland, the Scottish Government, alcohol and drug partnerships and drug support services to identify current or emerging trends caused by substance use, including the use of unlicenced or unprescribed medications 'We would urge the public to be aware of the risks of misusing any medication and report any concerns about criminality to us so they can be fully investigated.' A Scottish Government spokesperson said: 'Anyone seeking to use weight loss medication should only do so, under medical supervision, and where medicines are prescribed by a registered healthcare professional. The supply of medicines without a prescription is illegal. 'The Chief Pharmaceutical Officer wrote to healthcare professionals on 17 July with updated guidance on how to report the known or suspected illicit supply of obesity medicines after feedback from healthcare professionals working in NHS weight management programmes about people privately sourcing supplies of obesity medicines without a prescription. 'Any healthcare professional with concerns over this should contact their health board's Fraud Liaison Officer (FLO). They can also report it anonymously to Police Scotland via Crimestoppers or by asking the FLO to complete a NHS Counter Fraud Services form on their behalf.' The drugs are taken as an injection once a week and make you feel full so you eat less, and can help people lose up to 20% of their bodyweight. It was initially a drug licensed to treat Type 2 Diabetes but has since become an option for dealing with the obesity crisis, with two thirds of Scottish adults overweight and 32% living with obesity, which is the highest level recorded in more than 20 years. Read More The drugs also have side effects that can have a dangerous effect on patients, including sickness and diarrhoea while more severe cases show a risk of pancreatitis and gastroparesis. Medical professionals are worried about the impact the illicit drugs are having on the market with Dr Jack Henderson of the Stockbridge Clinic fearing patients are receiving dangerous medicines. He said: "We're deeply concerned about people unknowingly purchasing counterfeit medications online. "Many patients have no idea they're buying fake products that may contain dangerous substances or incorrect dosages. We have seen patients who thought they were getting legitimate medication but were actually injecting completely unknown and unregulated substances. "We need much stronger regulation of online suppliers selling these medications. The illegal market has grown exponentially, and even with legitimate NHS access, people continue to turn to cheaper, unregulated sources. 'We urgently need authorities to crack down on these dangerous suppliers before more people are seriously harmed."

This comes just days after another recall involving toys sold online, including a remote-control car imported from China that contained unsafe chemical levels and posed a serious health risk. If you have any concerns about a product you've bough for your child, you can check the official government product recalls and alerts page. Safety experts advise parents to regularly inspect children's toys for damage, strange smells, or any signs of mould, especially if they've been stored in damp areas. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
