Product Review

Pine Nut Oil is a natural appetite suppressant. It reduces food cravings, boosts brain energy, and helps soothe digestive health. Wellness Resources Pine Nut Oil is superior-quality Korean pine nut oil in capsules.* It contains the highest percentages of essential fatty acids (EFAs) including the key EFA, pinolenic acid. Research shows that Korean pine nut oil helps to reduce appetite. Within 30 minutes of ingesting 3 grams of the oil (equivalent to 3 of our capsules), women reported a 29% reduction in the desire to eat. Pine nut oil contains a unique fatty acid called pinolenic acid, a cousin of the essential fatty acid known as GLA. Pinolenic acid helps raise two important signals that reduce appetite: cholecystokinin (CCK) and a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1). These signals were elevated by 60% for four hours by taking 3 grams of the oil.* Pine Nut Oil has also been used traditionally to soothe the digestive tract as well as to boost energy.* Scientists are now analyzing its affect on the cardiovascular system, looking into how it works in the cholesterol and blood pressure functions of our bodies. While this research is just beginning, preliminary cell and animal studies are favorable and it appears as Korean Pine Nut Oil can be added to the cardiovascular-friendly nutrient toolbox.* Korean Pine Nut Oil has antioxidant properties and therefore supports the synergistic function of other dietary antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E.* As a unique isomer of GLA, it falls into the category of essential fatty acids. However, its structure is unlike any other essential fatty acid and it clearly has unique properties. At the top of its list is the ability to help suppress appetite, thereby helping individuals reduce unneeded food intake.*
