Our approach to lemon verbena & hibiscus:

Two botanical extracts brought together in NoviVital, alongside chromium, which contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Research into the lemon verbena and hibiscus blend has explored both how participants feel and measurable changes in their bodies.

​

Studies have assessed appetite using questionnaires, recorded food intake at a buffet meal and measured changes in body weight and body fat. Other research has investigated blood-pressure measurements. The lemon verbena and hibiscus blend has also been investigated in relation to GLP-1, a hormone involved in appetite regulation. Researchers measured GLP-1 alongside participants’ feelings of hunger and fullness and their food intake.¹

​

The findings below come from published studies of the botanical extract blend.

appetite and food intake

Participants taking the lemon verbena and hibiscus blend reported lower appetite scores, greater fullness and consumed fewer calories at a buffet meal compared with placebo.¹

body weight and composition

A separate study recorded reductions in body weight and body fat among adults with overweight taking the botanical blend.²

GLP-1 and appetite signals

Researchers investigated the blend in connection with GLP-1, a hormone involved in appetite regulation, alongside measurements of hunger, fullness and food intake.¹

blood-pressure findings

Research in adults with elevated blood pressure recorded lower daytime systolic blood pressure during supplementation with the blend.³
