5-Hydroxytryptophan ("5-HTP") is a natural amino acid precursor of serotonin. Numerous studies during the 1990s, including randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, have confirmed the safety and efficacy of 5-HTP in reducing appetite and food intake in healthy, non-insulin-dependent, leptin-secreting diabetics. Vitamins B6 and C are important cofactors in the 5-HTP to serotonin pathway. Among the many serotonin receptors thus identified, 5HT2C receptors are suspected to control food intake. Mice without this receptor show increased food intake and become obese.
DL-phenylalanine (DLPA) is a combination of the d and l forms of this essential amino acid. Phenylalanine suppresses appetite by regulating the release of cholecystokinin, which in turn signals satiety in the brain. D-phenylalanine increases endorphins, while L-phenylalanine is an amphetamine-like stimulant compound. DLPA has been shown to improve mood, curb appetite and reduce pain.
L-Tyrosine, an essential amino acid, is required for conversion to the stress-relieving catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. It is also a precursor of thyroxine. Doctors use tyrosine as a mood elevator, to increase alertness after sleep deprivation, and as an appetite suppressant; although support for the latter seems anecdotal.
L-Glutamine, known for its intestinal and immune support, has also been embraced for reducing carbohydrate cravings and supporting alcohol withdrawal, although the mechanism of action for these benefits is not known.
Chromium, as chromium picolinate is widely used to optimize insulin function; thus preventing blood sugar fluctuations that may be responsible for carbohydrate cravings. The mineral in its present form has been shown to reduce carbohydrate cravings in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
