2 Bottles CitruSlim® - Appetite Suppressant

What's actually in this

CitruSlim® is built around two ingredients that have accumulated a real (if still developing) body of research. The first is Bergamonte, a full-spectrum polyphenolic extract from Italian bergamot citrus — the same bitter orange that flavors Earl Grey tea. Bergamot polyphenols have been studied for their effects on blood lipids, blood glucose regulation, and metabolic function, with some controlled trials showing meaningful reductions in LDL and triglycerides. The second is Adapticort Tongkat Ali, a wild-harvested extract of Eurycoma longifolia from Malaysian rainforest. Tongkat ali has been researched as an adaptogen — specifically for its role in modulating cortisol and supporting hormonal balance under stress, with the more credible studies focusing on competitive athletes and men with low testosterone.

What NHR Science is doing here is combining those two angles — the metabolic/lipid support from bergamot and the cortisol-modulation from tongkat ali — into a formula they position as an appetite suppressant. The logic makes mechanistic sense: elevated cortisol drives stress eating, and blood sugar dysregulation creates hunger spikes. Whether this specific product moves those needles for a given person is harder to say.

What it won't do

The FDA disclaimer at the bottom of every supplement label isn't boilerplate to ignore. It means no clinical trial has established that this product suppresses appetite, treats obesity, or produces a specific, predictable outcome. The ingredient research is real, but most of it was done on the individual compounds at specific doses in specific populations — not on this proprietary blend at this serving size, which NHR Science doesn't disclose in the available product information.

If you're expecting a product that curbs hunger the way a GLP-1 drug does, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for metabolic support — something that may help keep blood sugar steadier and cortisol from spiking — the ingredient profile is more defensible.

The price question

Two bottles land at $103.90, which works out to roughly $52 per bottle. That's on the higher end for a two-ingredient supplement, even accounting for the full-spectrum extraction process and the wild-harvested sourcing story on the tongkat ali. For comparison, standalone bergamot extract supplements run $20–$35 a bottle from reputable formulators. You're paying partly for the combination, partly for the branding.

How we'd use it

If we were going to try this, we'd treat it as a metabolic support supplement and set expectations accordingly — not a hunger off-switch, but a potential aid alongside consistent eating habits and sleep. The cortisol angle is the more interesting sell for anyone who notices stress-driven eating patterns. That's a real phenomenon, and tongkat ali's track record there is reasonable enough to explore.
