The Natural GLP-1 Alternative
7 hours ago
- Natural GLP-1 activation works differently than GLP-1 medications
Sarah Kennedy explains that GLP-1 is a hormone the body naturally releases after eating to regulate appetite and blood sugar. Unlike medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy that deliver a synthetic version of GLP-1 lasting up to seven days, Calocurb is designed to stimulate the body’s own release of GLP-1, CCK, and PYY by activating bitter taste receptors in the intestines. - Calocurb uses bitter hop extract to support appetite control
Developed through 16 years of New Zealand government-funded research, Calocurb contains a natural bitter hop extract that activates intestinal bitter taste receptors. Early clinical studies found increases in GLP-1 and CCK, along with reduced calorie intake, while mimicking the body’s natural hormone patterns rather than maintaining continuously elevated hormone levels. - Calocurb may complement healthy lifestyle changes and GLP-1 therapy
Sarah discusses how practitioners may use Calocurb as an alternative for people who cannot tolerate GLP-1 medications, alongside lower-dose GLP-1 therapy, or during discontinuation to help manage rebound hunger. She emphasizes that it is intended as one tool within a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits.
