Nestle's "Exercise In A Bottle" Project To The Rescue For Exercise Haters

Swiss Scientists at the Nestlé’s Geneva HQ confirm they have identified how an enzyme in charge of regulating metabolism can be stimulated by a compound called C13.

The goal is to develop a nutritional product that mimics or enhances the effect of exercise for people with limited mobility due to old age, diabetes or obesity, Kei Sakamoto, the scientist who oversees research on diabetes and circadian rhythms at Nestle, said in a telephone interview. Test on animals probably won't start for several years, he said.

"The enzyme can help people who can't tolerate or continue rigorous exercise," Sakamoto said. "Instead of 20 minutes of jogging or 40 minutes of cycling, it may help boost metabolism with moderate exercise like brisk walking. They'd get similar effects with less strain." Someone once told me that "talk don't cook rice," If nestle believes that this product would work, it would take a miracle.
