Weight Management and satiety boosting
Recommended dosage: 6 to 12g/day
CravingZ’Gone ® is:
- perfectly soluble in water
- tasteless and slightly sweet
- perfectly stable at acid pH as well as to heat treatment
This makes our ingredient very easy to formulate, in numerous forms: sticks, instant powder, ready-to-use beverages, nutrition bars, biscuits, etc.
- Mode of Action
CravingZ’Gone® is very rich in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), non-digestible soluble fibers well-known for their prebiotic activity. In contrast with insoluble fibers, commonly used in weight-loss food supplements, Olygose’s GOS do not “fill” the stomach but act on complex metabolic mechanisms by modulating intestinal flora: microbiota stimulates the synthesis of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), activating a signaling cascade allowing brain control of satiety. This mechanism involves a pool of hormones like ghrelin, leptin, and peptides such as PYY and GLP-1-Cf

Technical Details & Test Data
- Proofs of efficacy
Olygose completed 2 double-blind, vs placebo human studies to evaluate the impact of CravingZ’Gone® supplementation on appetite (2).
In each trial, 4 groups of 22 overweight adults were supplemented with different α-GOS doses or formulations, for 14 days, without following any hypocaloric diet. Appetite scores were then evaluated on a VAS scale during a test-meal. After 14 days:
- Appetite was decreased
- Daily caloric intake was also reduced
Results were statistically significant from 6g/day; with an optimum dose, evaluated for a 12g/day supplementation, the product also impacts weight and fat mass.
CravingZ'Gone, by improving satiety, directly promotes reduced food intake and also aid compliance with healthy eating and weight management strategies, by decreasing sensations of hunger
