Can Amarasate® Support Intermittent Fasting Success?Updated 2 months ago

Amarasate®, the core ingredient in Calocurb, has been clinically studied for its effects on appetite, satiety, and metabolic hormones, making it a helpful support for those practicing intermittent fasting.

How Amarasate® Works During Fasting

Amarasate® is a bitter hops extract that stimulates the release of natural gut hormones including GLP-1 and PYY, both known to signal fullness and reduce appetite [Nutrients, 2019]. Clinical trials have shown that Amarasate® can:

• Decrease hunger and cravings during fasting windows
• Help manage calorie intake when breaking your fast
• Support healthy GLP-1 response, similar to the body’s natural fasting state [AJCN, 2024]

How to Use Calocurb with Intermittent Fasting

To support your fasting routine, take Calocurb capsules on an empty stomach about 1–2 hours before your first meal. Start with the gradual dosing schedule recommended by Calocurb:

• Days 1–2: 1 capsule daily before a main meal
• Days 3–4: 1 capsule twice daily, before main meals
• Day 5+: 2 capsules twice daily (max 4 per day)

Safety and Science

Amarasate® is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and used in clinical trials at recommended doses. For ingredient transparency, Calocurb's canola oil is also certified Glyphosate Residue Free by the Detoxify Project.

Amarasate® may help manage hunger and support fasting goals. Individual results vary - consult a healthcare provider for personal advice.
