Its method of action involves binding to ghrelin receptors, specifically the Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor (GHS-R1a), located in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland
It works by mimicking ghrelin, a hormone that signals your brain to release growth hormone, without raising other hormones like cortisol or prolactin
First, it provides anti-inflammatory support that can help manage the systemic inflammation associated with obesity and rapid metabolic change
At least three possible mechanisms could explain the increased lactate levels seen in FM: problems with anaerobic energy production/mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress
This helps ensure that any potential issues can be addressed promptly
