PhosphoLean™ N-Oleoyl-PE + EGCG is a proprietary phosphobioflavonic complex of N-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (NOPE), which contains oleoyl ethanolamine (OEA) bound to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), a naturally occurring phospholipid found in animal and vegetable foods, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), from standardized green tea extract. PhosphoLean™ N-Oleoyl-PE + EGCG operates via novel cell signaling,
through a cell receptor class called peroxisome- proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-) found in the intestinal tract. These receptors, when activated, are responsible for signaling the brain center to decrease appetite and hence to reduce food intake and body weight gain.
