Available: On Demand

Description:

Dedicated to improving health and wellness worldwide, Kemin, the founders of FloraGLO® Lutein, delivers an innovative satiety ingredient to address the difficulties dieters have while trying to lose weight. Cholecystokinin (CCK), a natural signal peptide first discovered in 1928, is the best-studied satiety factor and has been well researched in humans for the past twenty six years. For over twenty years, Kemin has been researching the unique, potato Proteinase Inhibitor II (PI2) that was originally discovered in the 1960s. Research has shown that PI2 enhances the release of CCK to provide satiety and manage hunger naturally. Using patented technology, Kemin offers the CCK stimulating benefits of PI2 with its Slendesta™ Potato Protein Extract.
