Oakmont Nutrition introduces yeast supplement for natural appetite control

Oakmont Nutrition has launched a new supplement that uses a brewer’s yeast-derived nutrient to naturally control appetite. Targeting the gut-brain axis, Hunger Switch is a drug- and stimulant-free solution to manage calorie intake.

The star ingredient is DNF-10, a hydrolyzed yeast peptide clinically studied and proven to influence hunger regulation. In a study, participants taking DNF-10 consumed significantly fewer calories per day. 

Oakmont Nutrition believes the results point to potential new approaches to appetite control through nutritional pathways instead of pharmacological ones.

Additionally, Hunger Switch promotes a balanced relationship with food and is paired with L-theanine, caffeine, and inulin. The company adds that these ingredients were chosen for their energy-boosting and craving-reducing properties, which also support digestive health.

The launch taps into broader wellness trends, including a growing consumer focus on natural solutions that mimic the body’s existing metabolic cues. The gummies are also vegan-friendly and free from artificial dyes and preservatives.

Shift in appetite hormones

According to a new study, consuming DNF-10 in small amounts daily can help people lose weight and body fat without losing muscle. Participants took 500 mg over eight weeks.

Oakmont Nutrition explains that DNF-10 reduces calorie intake. Study participants felt less hungry, thought of food less often, and lost sweet cravings. They also ate fewer carbs and fats without being told to change their diet or exercise.

The researchers say these effects are likely thanks to DNF-10’s impact on appetite hormones — feeling satisfied with less food.

Oakmont Nutrition says Hunger Switch undergoes independent laboratory verification for purity and potency and follows current US Good Manufacturing Practices.

In other developments, studies on rats and mice suggest that the brain creates meal memories to help control hunger and eating behavior and activates a feeling of fullness after smelling food. Though more research is needed, the findings could inform new approaches to treating obesity and weight management.

A randomized crossover trial revealed that consuming sucralose, a common non-calorie sweetener, instead of sugar increases activity in the hypothalamus brain region, which regulates appetite and hunger cues.
