WHAT IS BELLA?

SIX MEDICATIONS THAT INDEPENDENTLY REDUCE CRAVINGS AND MODULATE APPETITE

Bella+ is a combination of several drugs that independently have shown tremendous promise in supporting weight loss. These medications act on the hypothalamus of the brain to reduce cravings and suppress hunger making it easier for you to control your appetite.

 

NALTREXONE AND BUPROPION: A PROVEN COMBINATION FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Naltrexone is an opioid receptor agonist, and bupropion is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. This combination has been prescribed for years to enhance weight management efforts in overweight or obese adults. Together these two medications activate a part of the brain that controls hunger.

 

OXYTOCIN REDUCES CRAVINGS AND INCREASES SATIETY

Animal studies have revealed that oxytocin reduces the desire for food intake, increases energy expenditure, and increases fat breakdown. In people, it decreases cravings for high-calorie foods and increases satiety. Studies show that oxytocin levels decrease with age.

 

Oxytocin is also integral to the stress response. It dampens the brain’s response to stress, reducing anxiety.

Researchers discovered that restoring oxytocin levels also boosted the activity of muscle stem cells, potentially increasing calorie-burning muscle cells.

 

METFORMIN AND TOPIRAMATE CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

Metformin is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Several large-scale studies have shown its effectiveness in weight loss, by regulating hunger in the brain, reversing changes associated with aging, or altering the microbiome in the gut.

 

Weight loss was a noted side effect when topiramate is used to treat seizures.

 

VITAMIN B12 BOOSTS METABOLISM

Vitamin B12 has been linked to weight loss, and deficiencies may increase the risk of obesity. Several studies have found a link between low vitamin B12 levels and type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

 

Bella+ combines these well-studied compounds that synergistically work in the brain to control your cravings and modulate your appetite while also improving sleep quality, decreasing anxiety, and improving a sense of social connection.
