Weight Management
Weight management is not one mechanism — it is five. Appetite control, satiety, carbohydrate blocking, fat oxidation and stress eating each require different actives. This page maps the full toolkit we standardize, with the evidence base and dosage guidance for each.
The Five Pillars of Weight Management
| Pillar | Mechanism | Primary Actives |
|---|---|---|
| Appetite Control | Serotonin modulation; hypothalamic signaling | 5-HTP, garcinia HCA, saffron |
| Satiety & Volume | Gastric distension; delayed gastric emptying | Glucomannan, inulin, psyllium |
| Carbohydrate Blocking | Enzyme inhibition; reduced glucose absorption | White kidney bean (phaseolamin), L-arabinose |
| Fat Oxidation | Thermogenesis; mitochondrial beta-oxidation | EGCG, L-carnitine, CLA, fucoxanthin |
| Stress Eating | Cortisol modulation; mood support | 5-HTP, ashwagandha, rhodiola |
Core Weight-Management Actives
| Active | Grade | Pillar | Clinical Dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glucomannan | Konjac, 90% | Satiety | 1-3 g before meals (with water) |
| Garcinia Cambogia | HCA 60% | Appetite | 500 mg 3x daily before meals |
| Green Coffee Bean | CGA 50% | Fat oxidation | 200-400 mg CGA daily |
| White Kidney Bean | Phaseolamin | Carb blocking | 1-1.5 g before carb meals |
| 5-HTP | Griffonia, 99% | Appetite/Stress | 50-300 mg daily |
| African Mango | Irvingia extract | Satiety/Metabolism | 150 mg 2x daily |
| Chromium Picolinate | Cr 1000 ppm | Glucose | 200-1000 mcg daily |
| Chitosan | Marine, 90% DDA | Fat binding | 1-2 g before fat meals |
