DNF-10® is a protein hydrolysate which acts on modulators of short-term food intake at 
the hypothalamic and digestive levels, as well as provides a reduction in the hunger hormone ghrelin. It has been shown to help lower calorie intake and reduce body fat mass. 
Complex pathways modulate energy balance, involving appetite centers in the hypothalamus and hormonal signals of energy status released by the gut and the 
periphery. As glycemia levels lower we begin to feel hungry, and when the stomach empties it secretes ghrelin, the hunger hormone, which functions as a neuropeptide in the 
central nervous system. All these signals will activate the release of neuropeptide Y (NPY) 
in the hypothalamus and initiate the next food intake. Satiety and appetite are triggered by modulation of our levels of ghrelin. DN F-10® acts as a satiety enhancer by its action of reducing ghrelin production and by a long-term regulation of optimal leptin levels.
