BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In a 90-day, 125 subject, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled human clinical study supported by a National Institute of Health (NIH) small business grant, 100 of 100 subjects taking Nitro-V™, a rare new hemp extract, experienced weight loss without changes to diet or exercise. Subjects’ average body mass index dropped by three points, with some shedding as many as 22 pounds over a 90-day period. The clinical results demonstrate that Nitro-V™ is the world’s only hemp extract scientifically proven for safe, rapid weight loss. The study further demonstrated a 61% reduction in hunger, 40% fewer food cravings and a 52% drop in anxiety among participants.
The results stand in stark contrast to the study’s placebo group, in which 64% of participants either gained weight or stayed the same weight and experienced no change in BMI on average. One of four clinical studies of ECS Brands’ Nitro-V Hemp Extract, this study provides dramatic evidence of the weight-loss efficacy of this safe, natural, hemp-based microcapsule.

A key finding of the 90-day study was that Nitro-V works independently of diet and exercise. Participants simply took one or two servings of Nitro-V per day but did not implement any other changes, making Nitro-V a particularly practical and attractive weight-loss solution.
“So many people are grappling with their weight being higher than they would like,” said Arthur Jaffee, Founder & CEO,
ECS Brands, a leader in creating innovative, scientifically driven, whole-hemp lifestyle products. “They try to make healthy changes but may not see the results they want. Nitro-V is a quantum leap forward in a space where products aimed at appetite control are frequently not backed by science or considered safe. It is a fast and effective supplement that can help manage cravings and jump-start weight loss.”
Nitro-V assists in the weight loss process through the use of full-spectrum hemp extract with naturally elevated levels of non-psychoactive tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), aka the “skinny cannabinoid,” and cannabidivarin (CBDV). Research has shown that THCV and CBDV possess pain-relief and anti-seizure properties that are even stronger than CBD.1,2,3
Nitro-V™ Whole-Plant Hemp–Organic Varin Oil is the most highly studied, immune balancing and restorative full spectrum hemp extract available, with many additional benefits backed by modern science. Nitro-V uses 100% clean, natural THCV, cold-extracted with the use of green technology. It is the only industrial hemp-derived, proven safe source for high THCV; all other sources are derived from federally illegal marijuana or are synthetically engineered with no proof of safety. Each microcapsule delivers 50mg of naturally balanced Hemp Cannabinoids in a base of Golden Hemp Seed Oil for complete synergy and Endocannabinoid System (ECS) support.
With over 73% of U.S. adults overweight or obese4, nearly three out of four Americans struggle to support and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Science has proven that a range of severe health issues accompany obesity, increasing the general sense of urgency people have about losing weight and feeling better. However, multiple factors like busy lifestyles, an abundance of convenience foods and individual biology can make weight loss feel like an uphill battle.
“Those working to reduce their weight and enhance their overall health are looking for any advantage they can find to help them stick to their exercise and nutrition regimens,” Jaffee said. “With the results of these studies, we think that Nitro-V could be the tool to help many unlock their weight-loss potential and feel better.”
