Pine Nut Oil helps reduce appetite signals making it a great supplement for healthy weight management. It has also been shown to improve mental energy and mental clarity.*

A recent study showed that Korean Pine Nut Oil helps to regulate the appetite. Within 30 minutes of ingesting 3 grams of the oil (equivalent to 3 of our capsules), women reported a 29% reduction in the desire to eat. The oil contains a unique fatty acid called pinolenic acid, a cousin of the essential fatty acid known as GLA. Pinolenic acid helps raise two important signals that reduce appetite: cholecystokinin (CCK) and a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1). These signals were elevated by 60% for four hours by taking 3 grams of the oil.*

Pine nuts and pine nut oil have a long history of modulating appetite and boosting energy. Its use dates back to Greek and Roman times. Siberians, during the long winters where food was often scarce, have used pine nuts or a tablespoon of pine nut oil either with a meal, or in some cases to replace a meal, as it is known in this culture to produce a long lasting feeling of fullness.*

Feeling more satisfied on less food is critical to maintaining a healthy weight management plan and training oneself to eat smaller portions. Pine Nut Oil can be taken before any meal to help balance appetite signals and the full feeling.* It can also be used hour or more prior to the largest meal of the day.*

It has also been used traditionally to soothe an irritated digestive tract as well as to boost energy.* Scientists are now analyzing its affect on the cardiovascular system, looking into how it works in the cholesterol and blood pressure functions of our bodies. While this research is just beginning, preliminary cell and animal studies are favorable and it appears as Korean Pine Nut Oil can be added to the cardiovascular-friendly nutrient toolbox.*

Korean Pine Nut Oil has antioxidant properties, and will therefore support the synergistic function of other dietary antioxidants such as A, C, and E.* As a unique isomer of GLA, it falls into the category of essential fatty acids. However, its structure is unlike any other essential fatty acid and it clearly has unique properties. At the top of its list is the ability to help suppress appetite, thereby helping individuals reduce unneeded food intake.*
