best-supplements-for-cravings

Even with an iron will and a whole heap of positivity and determination, there is no denying that your appetite is going to try to get the better of you while you’re trying to lose weight.

When this happens, it can be so easy to succumb to cravings and potentially undo all of the hard work and progress you’ve achieved that day or week.

To make sure this never happens to you, let’s take a look at some of the most effective, tried and tested active ingredients that have been scientifically proven to suppress appetite:

Fibre – Ideal for Detoxing

Psyllium husk contains a powerful ‘functional’ fiber that was shown in a study published in the 2010 edition of the Journal of Nutrition to actually improve satiety and feelings of fullness after a meal[1].

Sometimes reducing your appetite might mean cleansing and detoxifying your digestive system so that your body is better able to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat.

CoreFlush Complex combines fibre with natural herbs to gently yet effectively flush your system of toxins so that your intestinal tract can run at peak performance.

Garcinia Cambogia – Ideal for boosting fat burning

This plant, which is native to Indonesia, takes us even further afield, helping to keep your appetite at bay like nothing before.

A 2002 study made the benefits of Garcinia Cambogia extract very clear[4], making it a safe way to not only suppress appetite but also by “inhibiting body fat biosynthesis.”

The study concluded with this rather powerful statement: “[Garcinia Cambogia extract] may prove beneficial in controlling appetite, as well as treatment of depression, insomnia, migraine headaches and other serotonin-deficient conditions”

To really see the full potential of what this plant has to offer, be sure to check out our hugely popular Garcinia Cambogia Complex product, available in an ever-convenient capsule form.

African Mango – Ideal for blood pressure and cholesterol

If you thought saffron extract was exotic then hold onto your hats because our next potent appetite suppressant is African mango!

Not only has the Irvingia gabonensis extract been shown to exhibit a powerful effect on curbing appetite; a 2005 study also demonstrated improvements in subjects’ blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and even body composition[3].

You can find African Mango in our Raspberry Ketone Complex, which combines Raspberry Ketone, with African Mango and a synergistic blend of fat burners.

Saffron – Ideal for snack control and portion control

Another very interesting addition to your snack busting arsenal is saffron extract.

Compounds extracted from the saffron stigma were shown in the 2010 New York Journal of Nutritional Research to provide a high level of appetite suppression compared to a placebo[2].

The researchers concluded with the following statement: “Our results indicate that Satiereal consumption produces a reduction of snacking and creates a satiating effect that could contribute to body weight loss. The combination of an adequate diet with Satiereal supplementation might help subjects engaged in a weight loss program in achieving their objective.”

Our Saffron Extract product comes in a convenient capsule form so that you can reap its full benefits without having to spend a fortune adding saffron to all your meals!

Glucomannan Fiber – Feel fuller for longer to prevent hunger pangs

Glucomannan is a water soluble dietary fiber which can absorb 200 times its body weight, and acts as an expanding gel when combined with water. Studies have found that it can help feel fuller for longer, helping you cut down on portion sizes, and mid meal snacking[5].

Our Glucomannan fiber complex combines Glucomannan as well as effective antioxidants, digestive enzymes and metabolism boosters in a convenient all in one capsule format.

5-HTP – Feel better and target emotional eating and cravings

5-Hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP is an amino acid which occurs naturally within the human body, acting as a precursor to neurotransmitters such as serotonin, melatonin, and tryptophan, all of which are closely related to mood in general, appetite regulation, and stress management[5].

Our 5-HTP supplement takes advantage of the Griffonia simplicifolia seed, which has been found to contain the 5-HTP amino acid, that your body needs needs to produce serotonin naturally.

As a result our 5-HTP supplement is a convenient way to target emotional eating and cravings at the source.
