Abstract: Methods for promoting healthy body weight and improving a variety of related physiological factors, including serum serotonin levels, serum leptin levels, fat oxidation, cholesterol levels, and body mass index, in persons or other mammals, include administering to those persons or other mammals effective amounts of hydroxycitric acid or a combination of hydroxycitric acid, chromium and gymnemic acid, which work synergistically to further to promote healthy body weight and improve these physiological factors.

Abstract: A method for preventing and or reducing the symptoms of insulin resistance and a related syndrome in persons comprises identifying persons having or at risk for having such symptoms, and administering to them an effective amount of a composition comprising niacin-bound chromium that prevents or reduces the symptoms. Compositions incorporating niacin-bound chromium and additional compounds also are disclosed that are particularly effective in synergistically preventing or reducing these symptoms.

Abstract: A method and composition for reducing ghrelin levels in a person or other mammal. The method involves administration of a composition incorporating (−) hydroxycitric acid in an amount sufficient to decrease the ghrelin levels in a person or other mammal. The composition comprises (−)hydroxycitric acid in an amount sufficient to decrease the ghrelin levels in the person or other mammal. The composition of the method and related composition can also incorporate gymnemic acid, green tea extract, and oxygen coordinated niacin-bound chromium. The method and related composition are effective in reducing ghrelin levels in a person or mammal, which decreases feelings of hunger in a person or other mammal and allow for effective weight management.
