Maxx Performance Inc.; Chester, N.Y.; 845-987-9432; www.maxxperform.com EYE ON: INgrEdIENTs Thinning Fat Pinnothin, by wormerveer, netherlands-based Loders Croklaan Group’s Lipid Nutrition division, was recently approved for use in food and beverage applications. claimed as an effective appetite suppressant, it is derived from the nuts of the Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), and especially rich in very-long-chain fatty acids, such as pinolenic acid. pinolenic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid. Korean pine nuts contain about 40 times more pinolenic acid than the more common italian stone pine nuts. pinnothin is said to stimulate release of the hungersuppressing hormone ccK (cholecystokinin) and glp1 (glucagon like peptide), which not only help the body digest fats but are believed to send a “full” feeling to the brain and to decrease the desire to eat. in a randomized, double-blind study pinnothin was shown to significantly increase the release of ccK and glp1. its beneficial effects have been demonstrated at a dosage of 3g. although not in wide usage yet, the oil could be of significant benefit for formulators developing products that target the hot-button issues of obesity and weight management.
