• Bitter compounds stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones:
  • • CCK
    • GLP-1
    • PYY
• Ingredients: hops extract (New Zealand-grown) as the most effective natural trigger, vegetable oil, rosemary extract (preservative)
• No prescription required

How to Use Calocurb

• Take 1 hour before meals or can be used flexibly (e.g., before dinner or events)
• Lasts 4–6 hours
• Helps reduce “food noise” and support gut-brain signaling

Safety & Absorption

• Only 1.2% absorbed into bloodstream
• Minimal liver processing (0.01%)
• Safe alongside other medications
• Improves gut-brain axis over time
• Can be used as a natural alternative, compared to GLP-1

Clinical Trial Results

• 600% increase in CCK
• 600% increase in GLP-1
• 200% increase in PYY
• ~18% reduction in calorie intake

Research on Women & Fasting

• 100% decrease in hunger during fasting window
• 120% reduction in cravings
• 14.5% reduction in calorie intake post-fast
• Women may be more sensitive to GLP-1 due to biology
  
  

How Natural Appetite Control Helps Reboot Metabolism After GLP-1 

Transitioning Off GLP-1 Medications

• Synthetic GLP-1 suppresses natural hormone production
• Coming off leads to intense hunger and weight regain
• Rebooting natural hormones takes 3–6 weeks
• Recommendation:
  • • Start Calocurb 2–3 weeks before tapering off
    • Continue for at least 3 months

CaloCurb Side Effects & Comparison to GLP-1 Drugs

• ~5% experience mild laxative effect (usually temporary)
• Compared to GLP-1 drugs:
  • • Fewer side effects
    • No injection fatigue
    • No plateau from receptor saturation
• 68% of GLP-1 users stop within a year

Hunger vs. Cravings

• Hunger: biological need to eat
• Cravings: psychological desire (e.g., sweets after dinner)
• Calocurb helps reduce both

The Truth About Willpower

• Appetite is controlled by the hindbrain, not willpower
• Dieting increases hunger hormones over time
• 99% of diets fail due to biological responses
• Tools like Calocurb help manage hunger so better choices are possible
