The process uses signals from supplements of branched chain amino acids , oleic acid, and DHA a component of fish oil to signal the brain and adipose tissue to cause weight loss. A double blind clinical trial in a 2 week pilot study was consistent with the hypothesis this may facilitate weight reduction in people.
