Pinolenic Acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that has a variety of benefits. The most significant being as an appetite suppressant.
We learned that the Korean Pine Nut is the most abundant species of Pinolenic Acid. Once this PUFA is digested, it increases the presences of two hormones - cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1).
CCK and GLP-1 are usually produced by the stomach in the later stages of digestion. They signal to the brain a sense of fullness - and hence the appetitive suppressing effects.
Pinolenic Acid raises CCK by 60% and GLP-1by 25% for up to 4 hours at a time and has been show in human studies to reduce hunger and caloric consumption by as much as 60%.
Pinolenic Acid also slows gastric emptying and may be an aid with high carbohydrate meals.
Subjects using Pinolenic Acid seem to see consistent and similar weight loss patterns over time of use.
Bodybuilders can use Pinolenic Acid during a cutting phase. Strength athletes trying to make weight can also benefit form it as it will help stave off feeling of huger while on a hypo- caloric diet.
Pinolenic Acid also has a couple other benefits. Unlike many other appetite suppressants, it has been show to lower blood pressure with use and also lower LDL cholesterol through an up regulation of LDL receptor site in the liver.
Pinolenic Acid is currently being sold by Magna Pharmaceuticals under the product name Z-Slim. You can learn more about it by visiting www.magna4u.com .
We're sure to hear more about this wonderful PUFA in upcoming months.
