Hunger, appetite, and energy levels are complex processes that regulate the food intake within your body. The interaction between your nervous system, pancreas, body fat, and the stomach regulates these processes.
Appetite suppressants operate within the framework of these complex processes to help in your weight loss journey. These medications intervene with your appetite by selectively blocking or increasing specific hormones, neurotransmitters, and/or peptides.
Each type of appetite suppressant operates uniquely. They may reduce your hunger or enhance the feeling of fullness by targeting distinct chemicals within your body's regulatory system.
