Regulating Calorie Intake

Many people who are trying to achieve a healthy weight find that feelings of hunger and cravings for favorite foods are major issues in achieving weight-loss goals. Relying on willpower alone makes it a struggle to keep caloric intake at an optimum level. The supportive ingredients in Crave Control assist in the struggle with between-meal hunger. In addition, the ingredients in Crave Control support healthy metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids to support energy production and limit the synthesis of unwanted fat.

Rhodiola Rosea, L-tyrosine, and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) are three nutraceuticals shown to impact mood. Managing emotional health is a critical part of controlling cravings and energy levels. Cravings for foods that increase brain stimulation such as caffeine, sugar, and chocolate are linked to low levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. The L-tyrosine in Crave Control is the amino acid precursor to dopamine which can help reduce these types of cravings. Low levels of serotonin, a brain chemical linked to relaxation, can cause cravings for starches or comfort foods. 5-HTP provides the amino acid precursor to serotonin to encourage healthy levels of this brain chemical.¹ Many patients turn to food during times of stress. Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogenic herb which supports brain function, memory, and focus while encouraging a healthy response to occasional stress.

Garcinia Cambogia is derived from a tropical fruit native to India and Southeast Asia. Its active ingredient, hydroxycitric acid, has been shown to inhibit the activity of citrate lyase, an enzyme necessary for the production of fatty acids, cholesterol, and triglycerides from carbohydrates.² Clinical evaluations of garcinia cambogia have demonstrated decreases in food intake as well as total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels. Simultaneously, garcinia cambogia seems to increase HDL and serotonin levels.³

White Kidney Bean contains high concentrations of the alpha-amylase inhibitor phaseolamin, which limits the conversion of dietary-derived starch to glucose. Laboratory research shows that supplementation with white kidney bean extract can promote weight loss and reduction in plasma insulin levels in obese animals.^4,5 White kidney bean may also increase levels of the intestinal hormone cholecystokinin which produces the sensation of fullness following a meal.⁶

Konjac Root (Glucomannan) is a highly viscous soluble fiber that slows down how quickly the stomach empties after meals, therefore increasing feelings of fullness and satiety. Reviews of konjac root in obese patients have demonstrated significant benefits on reducing calorie intake and overall weight.⁷ Konjac root has been shown to be well tolerated and also provide beneficial effects on lipid and metabolic markers.

Hoodia Gordonii is a flowering plant native to southern Africa which has been traditionally used by the native population as an appetite suppressant. In animal models, supplementation with hoodiia gordonii has resulted in significant weight loss.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that may directly impact insulin sensitivity. Chromium is a component of glucose tolerance factor, a transporter that carries glucose into the cell. Increasing chromium levels may help maintain blood sugar levels within a normal range.
