Stress has become increasingly pervasive in most people’s lives, negatively affecting their health and well-being and promoting weight gain through stress-induced food cravings, overeating, and fat deposition. Numerous scientific studies have firmly established this link between stress and weight gain.

NutraGenesis introduces EssentraTrim^®, the first and only, GRAS affirmed, multi-patented functional ingredient that is proven in double blind, placebo controlled clinical trials to reduce stress and lower levels of the weight inducing hormone, cortisol. By lowering cortisol levels in the body, EssentraTrim^® can help reduce stress-induced food cravings and overeating.

The physiological wellness benefits afforded by EssentraTrim^® have been substantiated as functional food health claims and can be applied to the healthy Weight Management and Blood Sugar Balance product categories.

These claims are in accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Some examples of the many claims EssentraTrim^® features include:

·    Helps manage weight by controlling stress-related eating

·    Helps control stress-induced appetite*

·    Helps inhibit stress-induced overeating and carbohydrate cravings*

·    Helps balance blood sugar levels

When consumed at suggested usage levels, food and beverage products fortified with EssentraTrim^® enable marketers to promote their products with substantiated stress/weight  management claims, capturing a wide customer base for only pennies per serving. The  EssentraTrim^® support team can provide assistance with new product concepts, product prototypes and flavor/formulation adaptations.
