MealEnders 25% off with code Jen25

Signaling lozenges that help people combat overeating, master portion control & curb snacking in a way that is simple and sustainable. Free of added stimulants or other harmful “diet ingredients,” sucking on a lozenge when you know you’ve consumed enough — but can’t stop — or in lieu of an unnecessary snack, keeps your mouth & mind occupied giving your body’s natural satiety process time to catch up. MealEnders consist of two components, a sweet, outer reward layer and an active taste inner core. The outer layer provides a measured dose of “dessert” associated with the end of a meal/snack, while the inner core engages the trigeminal nerve with long-lasting cooling/tingling sensations to clear the palate & cue the cessation of eating.
