Item #0975 180 Tablets | |
For years, science has attributed overeating and obesity to
psychological factors- a failure of will power, poor discipline or
traumatic childhood experiences. But current scientific research leads
away from psychiatric explanations and toward biochemical, physiological
and genetic explanations.
After more than 20 years of research,
scientists have recently noted a connection between the role of the brain
in eating behavior and food cravings. Research suggests that the brain's
"reward cascade"--along with a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and
exercise--plays a critical role in appetite control. The reward cascade is
your body's chemical pathway for pleasure and satisfaction. It can affect
the way you feel about yourself, the way you behave and the foods you
choose to eat. Based on this cutting-edge, neuronutrient science,
Anti-Craving Formula is formulated to help you control your urge to
indulge in food. When used as part of a healthy diet and exercise
program, it helps you lose weight and maintain the loss. By maintaining
healthy levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, Anti-Craving Formula
helps control your appetite so you can achieve your goal. Anti-Craving
Formula does not contain stimulants. Its patented formula includes
important vitamins, minerals and amino acids, including DL-
phenylalanine, to help control your appetite and facilitate weight loss.
Unlike virtually every weight loss product and plan, Anti-Craving
Formula supports activity in your brain -- where hunger and cravings
start. Most other products attempt to suppress your appetite after your
brain has already signaled your body that you're hungry or craving a
certain food.
RESEARCH BRIEF
Why do you feel good some days and anxious others? Why do you crave
carbohydrates or sweets when you're really not hungry? The answer: brain
chemistry.
Feelings of well-being begin in the brain when it
produces a chemical called serotonin, often called the "feel good
hormone." Serotonin and other chemicals including endorphins, GABA and
dopamine form the biological process known as the "reward cascade," which,
as the name implies, controls feelings of well-being.
This complex
chemical pathway can be affected by the foods that we eat. Consuming large
amounts of carbohydrates affects pathways that positively reinforce the
reward system, which explains why eating sweets makes us feel
good.
New research suggests that specific nutrients can positively
influence the reward cascade by maintaining healthy levels of
neurotransmitters in the brain, thus helping to control your cravings.
Q. When should I take Anti-Craving Formula?
A. It is
important to follow the directions carefully. For best results, take
Anti-Craving Formula 30-60 minutes before each meal and each serving of
Bios Life 2 Natural.
Q. I have a slow metabolism. Will
this product work for me?
A. This product provides ingredients
that help support natural carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It does not
speed up your basal metabolism, but it may help you metabolize certain
nutrients more efficiently.
Q. Are there any stimulants,
such as ephedra, in this product?
A. No. This product does not
contain any stimulants.
Q. How fast can I expect to lose
weight?
A. This product has a "building" effect in the body, so
it may take approximately six to eight weeks until you start seeing
effects. However, results will vary from person to person and will depend
on your diet and exercise habits.
Q. Why do we use
polynicotinate versus picolinate for our chromium?
A. Studies
suggest that polynicotinate is the more biologically active form of
chromium.
Q. Can I become addicted to any of the
ingredients in this product?
A. No. This formula is
nonaddictive.
