FAQ

Are there any side effects from taking Zempec™?

We have been testing Zempec™ for over 18 months and no one has indicated any side effects. At the beginning of the programme one may experience a loosening of the bowel for a short period. This will pass within 48 hours.

What do I need to change for Zempec™ to work for me?

Nothing! Just go about your normal daily routine. You will start to notice the desire to eat less. Listen to your body and follow signals to reduce your food portions. The desire to 'snack and graze' will become less apparent. Don't force yourself to eat food if you are not hungry. Try to eat healthy types of foods and drink plenty of water. Most people have experienced over a 50% reduction in the evening meat portion and a complete lack of interest in deserts and post meal snacks. As soon as the body weight begins to reduce many have indicated they have become more active which also helps with their weightloss journey.

Is it safe for me to take my daily supplements with Zempec™?

No problem. Zempec™ is compatible with most dietary supplements.

How can I make Zempec™ work faster and better?

If your response to Zempec™ is a little slower than desired, let us know. We have a very effective thermogenic coming to market that will boost the fat burn process.

Does Zempec™ work for everyone?

Everyone is different and everyone responds in many different ways to the introduction of a new compound to the body. Zempec™ may not be suitable for you, but give it a go and let us know how you respond.

What happens if my weight loss stops while I am taking Zempec™?

Contact us and we will suggest how to modify the program to achieve the best results. Often a change in dosage or time of consumption can be the answer. 

When I have finished my Weegovy program, can I go on to Zempec™?

Definitely. Taken correctly, Zempec™ Body Weight Management can assist to keep you at your target weight. Like most weight loss products, if you stop taking them the weight begins to go back on. We would suggest a maintenance program that requires a half dose per day.

I am on a Weegovy program, should I be taking Zempec™ Muscle Minder?

Definitely. Unfortunately with your weight loss you could be losing up to 30% of your muscle mass. Zempec™ Muscle Minder will support your muscle retention.

How long can I take Body Weight Management?

For as long as it takes to reach your goal weight. A break for about a month after six months use would be good to help prevent your body becoming used to it and reducing the efficacy.

Can I take my usual medications with the Zempec™?

Generally there are no reactions to traditional medications. But, if you are on prescription medications, it would be best practice to ask your doctor if taking Zempec™ is ok.

Should I be taking Muscle Minder as well as the Body Weight Management?

When your weight loss reaches approximately 5kg, it would be good practice to start taking Zempec Muscle Minder to slow down the muscle degradation and increase the fat utilisation.

It sounds like a fad – how do we know Zempec™ actually works?

It’s wise to be sceptical as many weight loss fads deliver poor results. Zempec™ Body Weight Management is different because it’s built on ingredients that have proven their merit in clinical trials. For example, one core ingredient, berberine, has been shown in a meta-analysis of 12 clinical trials to cause an average weight reduction of approximately 2kg more than placebo, along with significant improvements in blood sugar control. Another ingredient, Nigella sativa, in 11 studies, led to an average 3.5 cm reduction in waist circumference vs. placebo – that’s a meaningful decrease in abdominal fat. A randomised trial of oral butyrate (the third ingredient) found 96% of patients improved their BMI over 6 months, compared to 56% with placebo – a clear statistical win for butyrate. These results are peer-reviewed and published, not anecdotal. Now, Zempec™Body Weight Management combines all three of these ingredients in one capsule, at effective doses and with enhanced absorption. Early user feedback has indeed reported steady weight loss (several kilograms per month), reduced cravings, and better post-meal glucose readings – which aligns with what the studies would predict. So, in short, Zempec™ Body Weight Management works because each of its ingredients, working synergistically, with optimised delivery.

Supplements aren’t FDA-approved. Is Zempec™ even safe or regulated?

It’s true that dietary supplements do not require FDA drug approval. Zempec™ is produced in a FDA, NZMPI, GMP registered facilities in New Zealand. All the ingredients in Zempec™ are on the FDA’s list of ingredients generally recognised as safe. As discussed, these ingredients have been used in human trials with no serious safety issues reported. For example Berberine has decades of clinical use, being used in certain countries as a prescription for diabetes with a very good safety track record. Nigella sativa has been consumed as a spice/medicine for centuries and showed no harm in trials . Butyrate is produced naturally in our gut, we are just delivering it in a beneficial way. We advise users to consult with their healthcare provider, especially if they have medical conditions or take other medications. From what data we have, Zempec™ is very safe for general use – certainly far safer than the alternative weight loss drugs that are FDA-approved that have shown to cause side effects.

Semaglutide injections are proven to cause 15% weight loss – can a supplement really compare to that?

Semaglutide products indeed can lead to double-digit percentage weight loss in many
patients, which is impressive. A natural supplement is not likely to match that extreme result, especially not as fast. We are very open about that – Zempec’s expected results are more modest. However, consider the trade-offs: Many Semaglutide trial patients have had to endure significant nausea (up to 44% had GI adverse events) and suffered from significant muscle mass loss. Many regain weight when they stop the drug. With Zempec™, you could lose up to 10% of your body weight over a few months, which is less dramatic but still clinically valuable – and you do it without feeling miserable or risking complications. Zempec’s approach is more sustainable with moderate appetite reduction and metabolic enhancement that you can maintain long-term. Not everyone responds to GLP-1 drugs or can afford them. A supplement like Zempec™, can be a viable option to those who can’t tolerate injections. So while we won’t claim Zempec™ will make you drop 15% body weight universally, we will say it can help to support you to lose weight effectively and safely. And losing up to 10% of your weight with improved muscle retention might actually be a better outcome health-wise.

Is Zempec™ basically just ‘Ozempic in a pill’ made of herbs? What’s the real difference?

Zempec™ is not a Drug, Peptide or Hormone and we don’t position it as a Semaglutide replacement”. The key difference is how the effects are achieved. Semaglutide is a GLP-1
Peptide (a modified form that resists breakdown) – when you inject it, you flood your body with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, forcing activation of those receptors. Zempec™, helps your body’s own physiology produce and respond to GLP-1 naturally. Berberine and Thymoquinone stimulate your gut to secrete GLP-1 pre food consumption. Butyrate also raises GLP-1 and PYY levels while improving insulin sensitivity. So rather than an onslaught of an external hormone analog, it’s a gentle boost of internal hormones and improved hormonal sensitivity. The result is smoother appetite modulation and glucose control, without “hijacking” your body’s system. Also, Zempec™ addresses aspects Semaglutide doesn’t, for example; muscle mass loss. Zempec™ Muscle Minder has been specifically designed to include HMB and Creatine to counter muscle loss, so you can preserve lean tissue. Semaglutide drug also doesn’t provide any anti-inflammatory or gut microbiome benefits – whereas Nigella and Butyrate in Zempec™ has shown to reduce inflammation and support a healthier gut environment (Butyrate feeds good gut cells and seals the gut lining). So Zempec™ is more holistic: it’s not just “GLP-1 in a pill,” it’s a multi-target formula for metabolic health. For many individuals, especially those who prefer natural solutions or cannot tolerate strong medications, this approach can be very appealing. You get similar pathways targeted (GLP-1, PYY, insulin, etc.) but in a balanced, physiologic way and with ancillary benefits (like antioxidant support, gut health, muscle support) that drugs don’t provide.

I read an article calling Zempec™ a scam riding the Ozempic trend. How do you respond?

We understand why there would be scepticism – the market is suddenly flooded with Semaglutide and Liraglutide based products and other products making similar claims, which are indeed unproven gimmicks. Zempec™ is not a scam. We encourage anyone to look at our website where we list our ingredients and cite actual studies, we are very clear about what Zempec™ can and can’t do, and we support our statements with data. We totally acknowledge that Zempec™ is not as rapid or dramatic as a prescription injection for weight loss. Remember, even things like glucosamine for joints or melatonin for sleep were once greeted with “it’s a fad” – now they are mainstream supplements with evidence. We believe Zempec™ is on a similar path for weight management. So our response is: don’t just take our word for it, look at the science. We are confident that an objective examination will validate Zempec’s legitimacy.

How does Zempec ensure each pill is the same? Supplements often vary.

Quality control is a top priority for us. We use standardised pharmaceutical grade extracts. Every batch of raw ingredients comes with a full MSDS report and detailed Certificate of Analysis. During manufacturing, we precisely blend the ingredients and create the nano emulsion compound using pharmaceutical equipment. Our manufacturing QA process ensures the finished capsules are checked for uniformity to ensure each capsule has the intended amounts of key actives. We also test the dissolution (to ensure the capsule actually releases properly when introduced in fluids). Additionally, our product is third-party tested in an independent lab to verify the contents are fit for purpose and clear of microorganisms to World Health Standards. Zempec™ is produced with the same meticulous care as a medication. You can trust that each capsule of Zempec™ is consistent with the next.
