Hitting 'Mitch' does more than suppress appetite the way GLP-1s do: it burns fat, prevents new fat cells from forming, and keeps lean tissue intact. On top of that, it improves glucose tolerance and brings cholesterol down. The mechanism works through energy expenditure.

So far the successful results come only from mice, though the effect has also been confirmed in human cells (in vitro).

Worth the read.
