What This Product Is
CraveArrest™ is a synergistic formula designed to help maintain healthy neurotransmitter production and function that may influence craving signals and adrenal gland function. L-tyrosine and 5-HTP are included in an ideal 10:1 ratio as precursors to dopamine and serotonin, respectively.*

Dopamine and Serotonin Precursor Support
L-tyrosine (dopamine precursor) and 5-HTP (serotonin precursor) in a 10:1 ratio support balanced neurotransmitter production influencing appetite, cravings, and mood.*
Adaptogenic Stress Response
Rhodiola (50 mg, standardized to 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside) promotes a healthy stress response, closely tied to neurotransmitter balance and craving signals.*
Cofactor Support
B vitamins in active forms and vitamin C support neurotransmitter synthesis, cellular energy production, and nervous system function.*
