PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc., Matawan, NJ, has launched Satiatrim, which is intended to curb appetite. Satiatrim, a 50-calorie drink to be consumed before eating, slows the movement of food from the stomach, causing consumers to feel fuller even though they are eating less. Satiatrim stimulates cholecystokinin (CCK), a protein released in the gut. Multiple studies have shown that drinking Satiatrim before a meal reduces caloric intake up to 20% and extends the feeling of satiety for up to four hours after a meal. Satiatrim contains a patented formula of ingredients, including a specific combination of soy and casein proteins, calcium, special constituents from sunflower and safflower oils, glutamine, green tea extract and a small amount of caffeine. It does not contain sugar. Satiatrim is available in Chocolate, Vanilla and Mixed Berry flavors.
