Helps curb appetite
33 overweight or obese adults were randomized to take 500mg of Caralluma fimbriata extract twice per day or a placebo for 12 weeks, while being guided to consume 500 calories less per day and exercise. Compared to the placebo group, the group taking Caralluma had a decrease in palatability (appeal) of food and sodium intake. [1]
50 overweight or obese adults were randomized to take 1g of Caralluma fimbriata extract per day or a placebo for 60 days and were given recommendations for reducing food intake and doing physical activity. The group that took the Caralluma had greater decreases in appetite compared to placebo. [2]
83 overweight or obese adults took 1g of Caralluma fimbriata extract per day or a placebo for 16 weeks and were given recommendations for reducing food intake and doing physical activity. The group that took the Caralluma had greater decreases in appetite compared to placebo. [3]
A study of 20 obese adults took 900mg of 5-HTP per day or a placebo for 12 weeks. For 6 weeks they were not given a diet to follow, and for another 6 weeks they were given a reduced calorie diet to follow. The group that took 5-HTP had a greater reduction in carbohydrate intake, felt full earlier while eating, and had greater weight loss compared to the placebo group. [4]
Balances blood sugar levels
A review of studies supplementing chromium to people with and without diabetes found that 200mcg/day of chromium (the amount in Skinny Bird) appears to help balance already healthy blood sugar levels in people without diabetes. [5]
Helps manage stress eating
A study of 20 obese adults took 900mg of 5-HTP per day or a placebo for 12 weeks. For 6 weeks they were not given a diet to follow, and for another 6 weeks they were given a reduced calorie diet to follow. The group that took 5-HTP had a greater reduction in carbohydrate intake, felt full earlier while eating, and had greater weight loss compared to the placebo group. [6]
14 healthy participants either took 100mg of 5-HTP supplement or a placebo and then 30-45 minutes later were shown images of different types of foods from TV commercials while in an MRI to measure brain activity. Results showed that the 5-HTP activated the part of the brain that responds to food rewards, indicating that they were less likely to crave a food even if it was desirable (i.e., high fat, high carbohydrate food images).

FAQs
-
Can I take Skinny Bird® with Ripped Rooster™ or Counter Cravings™?
Skinny Bird® and Ripped Rooster™ work well together when each formula is taken as directed.
However, taking both Skinny Bird® and Counter Cravings™ exceeds the amount of chromium shown in clinical studies to support metabolism benefits, so we recommend picking one or the other. To find out which one’s right for you, contact your personal HUM RD Nutritionist.
-
Does Skinny Bird® contain caffeine?
Skinny Bird® contains 33 mg of caffeine from green tea extract per capsule. For reference, a typical cup of coffee contains 90 mg of caffeine.
