- 01AshwagandhaModerate80% match
By lowering cortisol and perceived stress, this adaptogen may reduce some of the stress-driven appetite signals linked to emotional eating.
SuggestedKSM-66 standardized extract (300 to 600 mg/day) - 025-HTPLimited72% match
A serotonin precursor that may support satiety and reduce carbohydrate-focused appetite, though weight and eating-behavior trials are small.
Suggested5-HTP capsules (50 to 100 mg before meals) - 03L-GlutamineLimited66% match
Glutamine can serve as an alternative brain fuel and some people use it to blunt acute sugar cravings, but controlled data are sparse.
SuggestedL-glutamine powder (5 g at craving onset) - 04InositolLimited62% match
Inositol participates in insulin and serotonin signaling, so it may support mood and appetite regulation where insulin resistance or PCOS coexists.
SuggestedMyo-inositol powder (2 to 4 g/day) - 05ChromiumLimited58% match
Chromium supports insulin signaling, and a few small trials suggest it may modestly reduce carbohydrate cravings, though results are inconsistent.
SuggestedChromium picolinate (200 to 400 mcg/day) - 06BerberineLimited55% match
Berberine improves insulin sensitivity and glucose stability, which could indirectly reduce the blood-sugar crashes that prompt reactive eating.
SuggestedBerberine HCl (500 mg with meals, up to 2 to 3 times daily)
