Pine Nut Oil
MODERATE EVIDENCESupplementLast updated
AVELOR SUMMARY
Korean pine nut oil contains pinolenic acid (18:3Δ5,9,12) — a unique fatty acid that stimulates CCK (cholecystokinin) and GLP-1 secretion, promoting satiety. A 2008 study found 3g Korean pine nut oil before meals increased CCK by 60% and reduced subsequent food intake by 36%. The satiety mechanism is hormonal (gut peptide release), not mechanical (fiber bulk). PinnoThin® is the branded extract. Limited to 2-3 studies.
