A number of different food supplements can bestow a benefit when you are trying to lose weight. Most of the Chinese herbs we recommend are specifically matched to your condition. For example, Chinese medicine knows a condition called :heat accumulating in the stomach meridian." This condition is associated with indisriminate gnawing hunder, and continuous cravings for rich foods. However, we also know about a condition called "cold in the stomach" which can produce cravings. Therefore, when using Chinese herbs, it's best to consult an herbalist who is certified by the NCCAOM in Chinese herbology.
There are a number of other food supplements for weightloss that you can obtain on the internet.
- 5-HTP is an amino acid that interacts with serotonin levels in the brain. It reduces anxiety, depression, and cravings for carbohydrates. It is most useful for individuals who tend to eat when they feel emotionally low or when they are nervous.

Spirulina is a one-cell freshwater algae that has a mineral content that is similar to the mineral content of human blood. Spirulina tends to reduce cravings because it signals your body that it is receiving what it needs. It is frequently combined with COQ10, an enzymes that bestows multiple health benefits in addition to reducing hunger.

At INNERHEALTH we recommend Leantain, a product that combines green tea with certified African hoodia. This product has shown to reduce body fat when compared to placebos. Most people fail to gain benefit from hoodia because they do not take the recommended dosage, or they do not have genuine African extract, which is the only one that is effective. Leantain, a product from HealthConcerns, is certified and produces excellent results.
Sometimes we also recommend GreenExcellence, another product by HealthConcerns, a product that has shown to stabilize blood sugar levels and specifically helps individuals who struggle with sugar cravings, or that are at risk for diabetes.
