Found in many meats, fish, dairy products and beans, L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in the body, and L Glutamine benefits are as a “craving fighter” by stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Of the L Glutamine benefits, its ability to stimulate release of human growth hormone (HGH) is primary. Human growth hormone would assist the body in building lean muscle mass, which may assist in weight loss by increasing metabolism.

And just as oil and water do not mix, insulin and HGH do not mix in the bloodstream.
The higher the HGH levels are in your bloodstream, the lower the insulin is.

Chromium is a naturally occurring macronutrient in food such as whole grains, nuts, broccoli, and green beans. With chromium, weight loss is aided by better performing glucose metabolism, which keeps the blood sugar in a balanced state.
Chromium is an essential trace mineral, needed to process carbohydrates and fats. It also helps to make blood sugar available to the cells as our basic fuel. It is this function where chromium aids in maintaining balanced sugar levels in the blood.

Keeping blood sugar levels balanced in the blood greatly reduces sugar cravings. It is when you eat sugar, when your blood sugar levels rise dramatically, then come crashing down. It is after this sugar crash when your body craves more sugar in an attempt to self-correct the imbalance. With the inclusion of chromium, weight loss supplements, Craving Control, helps to keep these sugar levels balanced.

So, using cayenne will help you lose weight? Yes, with the help of cayenne, weight loss can be aided through 2 effects it has on the body:

1 - increases the body’s heat production, also called thermogenesis
2 - speeds up metabolism

A smaller, more recent study, that will need more research found that cayenne also increase the body’s production of epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline), which would definitely help reduce appetite.

The more simple carbs we eat such as white sugar, the more out of balance our blood insulin levels become. With quick increases in blood sugar, come quick drops. It is these dramatic drops in blood sugar that make us crave more sugar. Keeping the blood levels balanced helps reduce cravings and stop the snacking.

One ingredient we use in our weight loss vitamin, Craving Control, is Gymnema extract. Gymnema is an herb native to the tropical forests of India, and the leaves of this woody climbing plant have been used for thousands of years in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition for treating diabetes.

It has been a naturopathic treatment by native populations for 2 millenia and has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels when used regularly. It works by enhancing the enzymes involved in utilizing glucose, which can be powerful at keeping blood sugar balanced. It has been shown to aid in the treatment and maintenance of conditions such as hyperglycemia, diabetes, and obesity.

When we treat ourselves to a sugary snack, our body experiences a surge inblood sugar followed by a dramatic drop on blood sugar. It is this quick drop in sugar levels that creates cravings. Our body tries to self-correct the imbalance in blood sugar levels by craving more sugar. By successfully maintaining blood sugar levels, we greatly reduce the urge to snack, which reduces the calories we introduce into our bodies daily.
