Is Calocurb safe to take?

A panel of five independent scientists recognized Calocurb as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). That’s unsurprising as Calocurb only contains three natural ingredients - Amarasate® (our active ingredient found in New Zealand Hops), rosemary leaf extract and vegetable oil. None of which are associated with any long-term side effects. Calocurb has not yet been tested for use by anyone under 18 years of age or for women who are trying to get pregnant, are pregnant or breastfeeding. As with any dietary supplement, concerned customers should consult their healthcare provider before using Calocurb.

How quickly does Calocurb show its effects on appetite, and how long do they last?

The effects of Calocurb are typically felt within an hour. It can reduce the feelings of hunger and cravings for up to 4 hours.

Are there any side-effects of taking Calocurb?

Calocurb has shown a low incidence of side effects in studies but mild effects can be experienced within the first 24-72 hours. This is why it is recommended that the daily usage is increased slowly so that the body has time to get used to the effects. Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as loose stools. For those whom Calocurb just isn’t a good fit, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Please get in touch with our friendly team who can help.

Is Calocurb FDA approved?

By law, the FDA does not approve dietary supplements. But, the FDA does regulate both dietary supplements and dietary ingredients. Calocurb follows "current Good Manufacturing Practice" (cGMP) regulations requiring that manufacturers evaluate their products through testing identity, purity, strength, and composition.

What if I don't notice a difference in appetite when taking Calocurb?

Everyone has a different physiological makeup, so some people will experience the biological affect of Amarasate® differently. If you are one of the few who have started taking Calocurb and are not seeing any difference in appetite simply try increasing your capsules by 1x daily. If this is not working for you after a couple of days please get in touch with us to speak to a wellness coach, sometimes all it takes is some experimenting to get into the right rhythm of when best to take your Calocurb.

Science

How does Calocurb activate GLP-1?

Calocurb is released in just the right spot in the upper intestine, where our active ingredient, Amarasate® activates special sensory cells. Sensing bitterness, these cells release natural gastric peptides CCK, PYY, and GLP-1 at 6x base level. These are the stop eating signals sent from the stomach to the brain. This results in a reduction in feelings of hunger by 30%, cravings by 40%, and calorie intake by an average of 18%, in one hour.

Can Calocurb be taken alongside a GLP-1 receptor agonist?

Calocurb has been shown to increase GLP-1 by 600% in clinical trials. Please consult your doctor or specialist if considering taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist in conjunction with Calocurb.

What are the ingredients in Calocurb?

Calocurb's active ingredient is Amarasate®, an extract from hops only grown in the South Island of New Zealand. Amarasate® works by stimulating the gastric tastebuds to release a natural blend of gastric peptides GLP-1, CCK, and PYY. This triggers the 'bitter break' that helps the body effectively manage appetite, overeating, cravings, and hunger. In a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) credited facility, Amarasate® is gently blended with Calocurb's other two ingredients, rosemary leaf extract (a natural preservative) and a Non-GMO, glycophosphate-free canola oil (a stable, consistent oil that allows Amarasate® to disperse effectively upon contact with the gut surface). Our delayed release vegetarian capsule is made of hypromellose. All our ingredients, including the capsule, are 100% plant-based and vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free.

What clinical studies have been conducted on Calocurb?

Three published human clinical trials have been conducted with Amarasate® to test the effects on gastric hormone release, appetite measures and caloric intake. These clinical trials can be found in our 'Science' section under 'Clinical trials'.
