What's in APPESTAT and What Do These Nutrients Do?
5-HYDROXYTRYPTOPHAN (5-HTP), is a plant-based precursor of serotonin. In addition to potentially enhancing the quality of sleep and growth hormone release, 5-HTP aids in reducing sugar cravings.
ZINC (we use the extremely bioavailable Monomethionine form) is an essential part of approximately 300 different bodily function including carbohydrate metabolism. Low zinc levels, common in high carbohydrate diets, can also reduce the athlete's ability to utilize oxygen and generate energy during exercise.
IODINE is needed for the synthesis of one of the thyroid hormones known as thyroxin that involved in regulating metabolic rate.
CHROMIUM POLYNICOTINATE is a hormone-like compound, critically involved in insulin production. It is an essential nutrient for athletes and for weight loss as it is necessary for energy production and for the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. While there are a few forms of this mineral available to the consumer, the polynicotinate form is superior, considered to be 300 times more biologically active than the other forms currently available, referring to the absorption rates of the various forms of chromium.
HYDROXYCITRIC ACID (HCA) may just be one of Nature's most remarkable weight loss nutrients. This active ingredient of the Garcinia Cambogia fruit safely inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase, which is used in the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. It also gently suppresses appetite and reduces food intake.
USAGE INFORMATION
Take 2 APPESTAT capsules 60 minutes before lunch. Take 2 APPESTAT capsules 60 minutes before dinner. Use in a cycle of 3 weeks ON with one week OFF before starting another 3-week cycle.
Dietary Instructions Guidelines
It has been clinically demonstrated that weight loss exceeding 2-5 pounds per month results in losing more lean muscle mass than body fat. In order to lose the most body fat and the least muscle mass, we strongly encourage you to lose the weight slowly, limiting your weight loss to 5 pounds per month.
SEVENTEEN CHARACTERISTICS OF AN EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN
- Reduce current refined carbohydrate intake by 50%.
- Increase raw food vegetable and fruit intake by 25%.
- Drink a minimum of 10 x 8-ounce glasses of water per day [chose either steam distilled or bottled water that is "chlorine and fluoride free"].
- Cease eating after 7:00 PM.
- Reduce or omit meats [excluding salt-water cold water fish] and dairy byproducts.
- Exercise activity is conducted at or below 75% VO2 Max Heart Rate.
- PERIODIC Short-term weight loss of 2-5 pounds weight loss in 20 consecutive days, followed by seven days NO calorie restriction before repeating a 2nd 20-day protocol.
- Recommend no more than 1 pound weight loss each week.
- Do not go below 1,500 calories per day.
- Refer to the Food Guide Asian or Mediterranean Pyramid and Dietary Guidelines.
- Focus on limiting fat and processed food intake rather than calories.
- Encourage 30 minutes minimum exercise per day.
- Include a variety of nutritionally balanced foods.
- Minimize hunger, no-starve periods.
- Encourage setting realistic weight loss goals and making slow, moderate changes.
- Precedes an established lifelong "Lifestyle" protocol, balancing caloric intake with expense.
- Remove man-made fats [TFA-Trans Fatty Acids-also know as partially or completely hydrogenated vegetable fats]; found in almost all processed baked goods.
The closer you come to adhering to these guidelines the greater success you will have.

Extra Benefits:
5-HTP not only has benefits for appetite suppression, it is also believed to be an ideal nutrient for improving mood.
We’ve got lots of grizzlies here in northwest Montana, and in the off-season they set their activity level at “hibernate.” We know you don’t cut back your training that much, but you do cut back, and you stay awake all winter eating. Come next season, you look like you are ready to hibernate. If that’s the case, then you need Appestat, the guaranteed way to restrict appetite during the off-season. Stimulant-free Appestat safely suppresses appetite and increases carbohydrate metabolism, thereby helping to decrease body fat accumulation and weight gain without the use of potentially harmful stimulants. When you start off next season already at ideal weight, you’ll be glad you invested a few pounds in Appestat.
