Appetite control compositions comprise Gymnema sylvestre and an expectorant. In some embodiments, the appetite control compositions contain from about 3 mg to about 50 mg of gymnemic acid (an extract of Gymnema sylvestre), from about 10 mg to about 80 mg of glycyrrhizin (an extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra), high impact flavor, and a sweetening agent in a non-traditional dosage form. A non-traditional dosage form provides for the topical application of medicaments to the tissues of the mouth and tongue, more specifically, to the sweetness taste receptors of the tongue. By delivering gymnemic acid to the sweetness receptors of the tongue, the sensation of sweetness is blocked, thereby providing appetite control. |
