What Is Amarasate, the Active Ingredient in Calocurb?Updated 7 hours ago
Amarasate® is the patented, natural hops extract at the heart of every Calocurb® capsule. Developed in New Zealand by Plant & Food Research, Amarasate is clinically studied for its ability to support healthy appetite control through the body’s own gut signaling pathways.
What Is Amarasate?
- Origin: Amarasate is derived from the cones of New Zealand-grown hops (Humulus lupulus), using a proprietary, food-safe extraction process.
- Active Compounds: It contains a unique blend of natural bitter acids, including alpha- and beta-acids, which are responsible for its appetite-supporting effects.
- Mechanism: When taken as directed, Amarasate acts on special bitter taste receptors in the gut to help trigger the release of GLP-1 and other fullness hormones—helping you feel satisfied sooner and supporting healthy calorie intake.
Backed by Clinical Research
Amarasate is one of the world’s most studied natural appetite-support ingredients. Peer-reviewed clinical trials, including those published in Nutrients and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, have shown that Amarasate supplementation increases GLP-1, reduces hunger, and supports healthy eating patterns.
