PinnoThin® is an appetite suppressant produced by Lipid Nutrition. It significantly increases the release of the hunger-suppressing hormones, e.g. CCK (cholecystokinin). These hormones send signals of satiation to the brain and can help to promote the feeling of satiety and as such can help to control over appetite. PinnoThin® is a 100% natural vegetable product.

How does it work?
PinnoThin® is based on pine nut oil derived from the nuts of the Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis). The oil of these specific nuts contains more than 92% poly-and monounsaturated fatty acids. It is especially rich in very long chain fatty acids, such as pinolenic acid. Pinolenic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid, which has double bonds in the cis configuration. Korean pine nuts contain about 40 times more pinolenic acid than, for example, Italian stone pine nuts. PinnoThin® stimulates the release of the hunger-suppressing hormone CCK (cholecystokinin) and may help to increase the release of GLP1 (glucagon like peptide), which not only helps the body digest fats better but also sends a "full" feeling to the brain, helping to eat less.

Proven results as an appetite suppressant
In two randomized double blind studies PinnoThin™ has shown to:

• Significantly increase the release of CCK
• Can help to increase the release of GLP1 
• May help to promote a feeling of satiation or "fulness"
• Can help to reduce prospective food intake
• May help to eat less     

The beneficial effects of PinnoThin® have been demonstrated at a dosage of 3 grams.
