Come to Nutracon and SupplyExpo and learn about PhosphoLean™ - a novel ingredient compound based on oleoylethanolamine (OEA), a newly discovered lipid mediator involved in regulation of feeding via cell-signaling. Recent research has shown that OEA binds to a cell receptor class called peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) found in the intestinal tract. These receptors, when activated, are responsible for signaling the brain center to decrease appetite and hence to reduce food intake and reverse weight gain.

Dieters face severe stress, hunger pangs, depression, moodiness and binge eating. These symptoms too often lead to diet failure and never-ending weight gain.

Recent research involving the manipulation of appetite has shown that suppressing appetite and thus reducing the intake of food can be a very effective means to controlling energy balance. PhosphoLean™ is a patented, natural compound of N-oleoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (NOPE) and EGCG, clinically proven to help dieters stay on their diets.

An impressive published human study has shown that PhosphoLean™ significantly improved diet compliance in a group of healthy, overweight or obese subjects, as convincingly demonstrated by low drop out rates. It also produced favorable changes in feeling of satiety, depressive symptoms, severity of binge eating, insulin resistance and peroxidation. Scott Hagerman, president of Chemi Nutra said, “Our PhosphoLean™ has been proven to safely and effectively help dieters stay on their diets. It will allow people to comfortably manage their high stress diets, reach their weight loss goals, and lead a much healthier lifestyle.”
