Specific hormones in our body send messages to our brain which trigger or reduce feelings of hunger. PinnoThin® and the natural metabolites of PinnoThin® work by stimulating the release of two hunger-suppressing hormones, CCK (cholecystokinin) and GLP1 (glucagon-like peptide 1). CCK and GLP1 send signals of satiation to the brain (similar to saying 'I am full') - which reduces the urge to eat.

PinnoThin® comes from a natural plant source. It is based on pine nut oil derived from the nuts of the native Korean pine tree, which are especially rich in long chain fatty acids, such as pinolenic acid. The Korean pine tree contains more than 40 times as much pinolenic acid as other types of pine nuts. PinnoThin® simply offers the highest concentration of this all-natural satiety and appetite suppressant. Its effectiveness has been studied in two human trials.
