Pure Encapsulations CarbCrave Complex - with Sensoril Trim to Help Moderate Carbohydrate Intake and Lessen Appetite - 90 Capsules

This formula may support healthy neurotransmitter metabolism, affecting the appetite center of the brain. 5-HTP is a precursor for serotonin, the same neurotransmitter released by the consumption of carbohydrates and associated with an enhanced positive outlook. At the same time, DL-phenylalanine may support dopamine and epinephrine production, responsible for the sensation. Vitamin B6 is integral as a cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis. Rhodiola and ashwagandha are believed to encourage the activities of these neurotransmitters while strengthening the body's resistance to stress and fatigue, common triggers for undesirable eating behaviors. Research indicates that Sensoril ashwagandha promotes relaxation and maintains healthy cortisol response. It is these actions that may be responsible for its supportive effects on carbohydrate. Both chromium picolinate and Relora have demonstrated the potential to promote more healthful patterns of carbohydrate and energy intake in adult subjects. In one study involving 49 volunteers prone to eating under stress, Relora helped reduce stress-related snacking of sweets by 76%. In another trial, chromium picolinate supplementation helped reduce carbohydrate intake. Cravings and appetite are influenced by many factors, only some of which may be affected by the ingredients in this formula.
