What Is Amarasate, the Active Ingredient in Calocurb?Updated 2 months 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.
