They seem to be catching on, I see adds for them quite often in my social media accounts (I get ads targeted at physicians because of the posts I make related to Alpha-1)

They seem to work too. My understanding is that they work by acting on the brain circuits for satiety and hunger.

Big results - but as with things like statins and blood pressure meds, you have to keep taking them or the effect goes away.

I think they're like $10K per year right now.
