Xymogen’s Appe-Curb™ Review
Xymogen’s Appe-Curb™ Combats Cravings Naturally*
Clinical Applications
- Nutritional Support for Carbohydrate, Alcohol & Drug Cravings*
- Supports Healthy Weight (by reducing carbohydrate cravings)*
- Improve Sense of Wellbeing and Energy
- Supports Healthy Serotonin Levels*
There really is no such thing as “will power” ! Appe-Curb™ can counter act the feeling of needing sugar, carbohydrates and even fats. Because Appe-Curb has Chromium and Chromium has been shown to assist in insulin function, Appe-Curb may prevent blood sugar fluctuations which cause the feeling of needing carbohydrates and sugar.
Appe-Curb™ contains key amino acids to support the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters involved in appetite control, carbohydrate or fat cravings, and mood. Chromium is present to support healthy glucose metabolism and support food intake regulation, such as 5-HTP which has been shown to reduce appetite and food intake in healthy obese individuals. [1,2,3] Appe-Curb™ contains DL-Phenylalanine which has been found to elevate mood, curb appetite and reduce pain. Xymogen’s Appe-Curb™ contains Chromium, as chromium picolinate is widely used to optimize insulin function; thereby preventing swings in blood glucose levels that may be responsible for carbohydrate cravings.

What makes Xymogen’s Appe-Curb help curb your appetite?
Appe-Curb™ Ingredients:
- 5-Hydroxytryptophan (“5-HTP”) is a naturally occurring amino acid precursor to serotonin. Numerous studies during the ‘90s, including those randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, confirmed the safety and efficacy of 5-HTP in reducing appetite and food intake in obese healthy and non-insulin-dependent diabetic individuals.[1,2,3] A 2006 study in mice concluded, “5-HTP-induced anorexia may be mediated by facilitation of leptin secretion.”[4] Vitamins B6 and C are important cofactors in the 5-HTP to serotonin pathway. Among the several serotonin receptors thus identified, the 5HT2C receptors are suspected in control of food intake. Mice without this receptor exhibit increased food intake and become obese.*[5]
- DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is a combination of the d- and the l- forms of this essential amino acid. Phenylalanine suppresses appetite by regulating the release of cholecystokinin, which in turns signals satiety in the brain. D-phenylalanine increases endorphins, while L-phenylalanine is an amphetamine-like stimulatory compound. DLPA has been found to elevate mood, curb appetite and reduce pain.*
- L-Tyrosine, an essential amino acid is needed for conversion into the catecholamine neurotransmitters stress depletes: dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It is also a precursor for thyroxine. Doctors use tyrosine as a mood elevator, to increase alertness after sleep deprivation and as an appetite suppressant; although support for the latter appears anecdotal.*[6]
- L-Glutamine, well–recognized for gut and immune support, has also been espoused to reduce carbohydrate cravings and support alcohol withdrawal, although the mechanism of action for these benefits is not known.*[7,8]
- Chromium, as chromium picolinate is widely used to optimize insulin function; thereby preventing swings in blood glucose levels that may be responsible for carbohydrate cravings. The mineral in the form present was indeed demonstrated to reduce carbohydrate cravings in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.*[9,10]

If you have that afternoon slump or craving for sweets, Appe-Curb™ may help you alleviate those feelings. Appe-Curb contains only natural ingredients to help curb your appetite and does not contain stimulants. It provides a subtle feeling, of fullness and reduces the amount of food you want. [1,2,3]
Another great feature of Xymogen’s Appe-Curb™ is that it is free of wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, animal or dairy products, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or artificial preservatives.
Appe-Curb™ contains the ingredient 5HTP, which has been shown to reduce appetite and may counteract hunger-inducing hormones which then suppress appetite. 5 HTP has also been shown to have other benefits such as boosting mood and improving sleep.
