I think maybe I've found the name of the supplement, it's Oleic acid,
as in the acid found in Olive oil. In rats it suppresses appetite. You
can search this story in Google or any science website. Thanks for
your help. Bye.


I wonder... could you be referring to the finding that palmitoleic
acid may serve as a hormone. This is new, and was a *big news story
recently. Work is only with mice, so far. Google on palmitoleate (or
palmitoleic acid).

Could be thisa molecule, but after reading the science article on this
molcule,the onlypart that seemed to be missing fro what I remember of
the story I heard on the radio during the sumer was that the molecule
aided reduced body weight even after STOPPING taking the molecule.
This aspect seems to be missing in the story I read in the science
journal about palmitoleic acid. Thanks again.
