CarbCrave Complex 90's

Verifiable Science

CarbCrave Complex is designed to help lessen appetite and curb excessive carbohydrate intake by supporting neurotransmitters involved in appetite and mood. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a precursor for serotonin, the same neurotransmitter released by the consumption of carbohydrates; serotonin is also associated with enhanced mood.^1,2 At the same time, DL-phenylalanine supports dopamine and epinephrine production, responsible for the sensation of well-being.³ Vitamin ₆ is integral as a cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis.⁴ 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.sup>5,6 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 glucose and fat metabolism.⁷ 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%.⁸ In another trial, chromium picolinate supplementation helped reduce carbohydrate intake and mood fluctuations.⁹ Cravings and appetite are influenced by many factors, only some of which may be affected by the ingredients in this formula. ^‡
