Why Is There Canola Oil in Calocurb?Updated a month ago
Canola oil is used in Calocurb® as a natural carrier oil that enhances the delivery and stability of its active ingredient, Amarasate®—a clinically studied bitter hops extract. This formulation choice is backed by science and safety certifications to ensure optimal performance and clean-label integrity.
Role of Canola Oil in Calocurb
- Improves Bioavailability: Amarasate is a fat-soluble compound. Canola oil helps it dissolve effectively so it can be absorbed by the gut and stimulate appetite-regulating hormones like GLP-1, CCK, and PYY.
- Delivers Targeted Release: The oil-based formulation supports Calocurb's timed delivery system, helping release Amarasate in the upper GI tract where it activates gut receptors that influence satiety.
- Maintains Ingredient Stability: Canola oil protects the sensitive hops extract from oxidation and degradation, keeping the formula potent and effective over time.
Is the Canola Oil Safe?
Yes. The canola oil used in Calocurb is certified Glyphosate Residue Free by The Detox Project, meaning it contains no detectable glyphosate or AMPA residues, verified through rigorous LC-MS/MS testing. This certification is stricter than USDA Organic standards and helps reassure health-conscious consumers.
Additionally, all Calocurb ingredients, including the canola oil, are GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) certified under U.S. FDA guidelines.
