Nestle is launching protein shots in the United States , which it says suppress appetite for people looking to shed pounds.

The weekly weight-loss injections mimic an intestinal hormone called GLP-1 and curb people’s appetite, promoting a feeling of fullness.

The shots, sold for $ 10.99 for a pack of four on Amazon.com and at some CVS stores, contain 45 calories, one gram of sugar, and are fat-free.

Nestle says it is not intended to replace weight loss drugs and is less powerful than them.
