Elcella works by supporting your body’s natural appetite-control system — the gut–brain axis. Each gold capsule contains a specific combination of natural nutrients (flaxseed, coconut, and MCT oils) and a special coating that allows it to travel through the stomach and small intestine without being absorbed too early.

After around 2–4 hours, the capsule reaches the lower gut, where specialised cells called L-cells live. These cells don’t just absorb food — they sense it. When activated by Elcella’s nutrient blend, they release natural fullness hormones like GLP-1 and PYY, which send signals to the brain to help you feel satisfied sooner, reduce cravings, and calm ‘food noise.’

In simple terms, Elcella helps your gut relearn how to recognise fullness, so you naturally eat less and make healthier choices — working with your biology, not against it.

Elcella was founded by experts in gut health and neuroscience, including Dr. Madusha Peiris, a researcher specialising in appetite regulation and gut-brain communication, and Dr Ruby Aktar, a leader in enteric neuroscience. Their combined expertise led to the development of Elcella, focusing on using natural ingredients to support appetite control.

Everyone’s body responds a little differently, but most people start to notice subtle changes — like feeling fuller sooner, fewer cravings, or less ‘food noise’ — after about 4–6 weeks. The most consistent and noticeable results tend to appear around 12 weeks, once the gut has had time to adapt and strengthen its signalling to the brain.

Elcella isn’t a quick fix — just like any supplement, medicine, or lifestyle change, real, lasting change takes time. The key is staying consistent so your gut can fully reset and keep those fullness signals working naturally.

No - Elcella is a food supplement, not a drug. It is designed to support your body’s natural ability to regulate appetite. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Hunger regulation is influenced by a range of signals between the stomach, intestines, and brain. Hunger and appetite are controlled by several key hormones that signal your brain about energy needs and fullness. The most important include:

Ghrelin: Often called the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin is released by the stomach when it’s empty and stimulates appetite.

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1): Released by L-cells in the intestine after eating, it promotes fullness and slows stomach emptying.

PYY (Peptide YY): Also released by intestinal L-cells, PYY reduces appetite and helps control meal size and food preferences.

Leptin: Produced by fat cells, leptin signals long-term energy stores to the brain and suppresses hunger over time.

Other hormones, like insulin and cholecystokinin (CCK), also play supporting roles. Together, these signals balance hunger, fullness, and energy intake.
