Appetite & Craving Suppressants Now up to 20% Off

Dr. Chad Prusmack's CravePruTect Nutritional Supplement and WeightLossPruTect Weight Loss Bundle Are Now on Sale for a Limited Time

Highlands Ranch, CO— May 30, 2013—PruTectRx, the leader in supplying nutritional supplements to accelerate surgical recovery, optimize daily wellness and to naturally suppress the appetite and cravings for patients and consumers, today announces that CravePruTect and WeightLossPruTect are now up to 20% off, for a limited time.

CravePruTect: Feed Your Brain, Not Your Body
CravePruTect is a nutritional supplement that reduces cravings by replacing the essential amino acids 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) and L-Tyrosine. These amino acids are depleted due to stress and/or a low calorie diet, particularly for those on restricted diets.
  • 5-HTP: occurs as a natural precursor to serotonin, and certain serotonin receptors have been shown to reduce appetite
  • DLPA: regulates the release of the brain's hunger signaler, cholecystokinin
  • L-Tyrosine: counteracts the effects of elevated stress levels, which deplete the body's resources of certain neurotransmitters which suppress appetite
CravePruTect boosts 5-HTP, DLPA and L-Tyrosine levels in the brain, which satisfies our "reward cascade." This feeling of satisfaction keeps you from craving calorie-rich carbohydrates, alcohol and other things that we do not need.

WeightLossPruTect: CravePruTect + WeightPruTect
The product bundle, WeightLossPruTect, consists of two PruTectRx nutritional supplements: CravePruTect and WeightPruTect.

WeightPruTect consists of highly potent green tea extract (600 mg), which helps to suppress your appetite and increase your body's metabolism, giving you a thermogenic metabolism boost. Each WeightPruTect capsule is equivalent to drinking about 10 cups of green tea.

On Sale Now
A 60-day supply of CravePruTect is now available for $31.95. A 60-day supply of WeightLossPruTect is now available for $89.95. Both nutritional supplements are sold exclusively on www.prutectrx.com.

How Boosting Serotonin Levels Can Lead to Weight Loss

Low Serotonin Levels & Weight Gain

What makes us happy? Surely, the people in our lives and our environment play major roles, but so too does the neurotransmitter serotonin.

For some, low serotonin levels may help explain why some may feel down when there is no other obvious reason. For many, low serotonin levels can simply have us feeling unsatisfied, leading to cravings for food when we are not necessarily hungry. This is why people with persistently low levels of serotonin may struggle to maintain a healthy weight.

Low serotonin levels in most are caused by stress. Take away the stress and serotonin levels may normalize on their own. However, since we live in the real world, people may need help from nutritional supplements to boost serotonin levels in addition to seeking a less stressful lifestyle.

The Role of Nutritional Supplements

Why do we need nutritional supplements to boost serotonin levels instead of making simple dietary changes? Because serotonin is not found in the food we eat. Instead, serotonin is derived from 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is also not found in food but is found in tryptophan, an essential amino acid.

While tryptophan is well known as being found in turkey, and largely responsible for that feeling of sleepiness after Thanksgiving dinner, it is not found in a high enough quantity in any food to elevate serotonin levels. However, nutritional supplements that contain at least 100mg of 5-HTP are able to increase serotonin levels.

How an African Plant Can Boost Your Serotonin Level

5-HTP found in nutritional supplements is typically derived from the seeds of a plant called Griffonia simplicifolia, an ivy-like shrub found in West and Central Africa. These seeds are then ground into a powder and packaged in a vegetable gel capsule. Once ingested, the body converts the seed powder into 5-HTP and then serotonin. Elevated serotonin levels then help to give us a feeling of well-being that can lead to improvements in mood, sleep and happiness and decrease feelings of hunger, anxiety and depression.

CravePruTect: Now 20% Off (for a limited time)

As part of the PruTect Series of nutritional supplements, CravePruTect features 150mg of 5-HTP, derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds, and can only be found on the PruTectRx website here—for 20% off.
