Neuronutrient effects on weight loss in carbohydrate bingers: an open clinical trial.

Abstract

In as much as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators are known to stimulate or inhibit eating behavior, we elected to examine the effects of precursor amino acid loading and enkephalinase inhibition. We investigated the effect of the experimental neuronutrient PCAL-103 on weight loss, uncontrollable carbohydrate binging, and relapse rates in outpatients attending a supervised diet-controlled treatment program
