The Science of THCV and Weight Loss
Weight loss isn’t just about willpower. It’s about biology. And one of the most exciting scientific discoveries in recent years is the role of THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) — a rare hemp-derived compound that directly influences hunger, cravings, and metabolism.
DROP Gummies are powered by Nitro-V™ THCV, the only hemp extract proven in a 125-person, 90-day clinical trial to safely reduce appetite and support significant weight loss. Let’s break down the science of why THCV works — and how DROP helps you harness it.
What Is THCV?
THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in certain hemp and cannabis strains. Unlike THC, it does not cause intoxication. In fact, THCV has the opposite effect on appetite:
THC stimulates hunger (the “munchies”).
THCV suppresses hunger by interacting with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
This unique mechanism has made THCV one of the most studied cannabinoids for weight management and metabolic health.
How THCV Works in the Body
The ECS (endocannabinoid system) regulates key processes like mood, sleep, metabolism, and appetite. THCV works by:
Blocking CB1 receptors in the brain and gut → reduces hunger signals and lowers cravings.
Modulating CB2 receptors → supports metabolic balance and inflammation control.
Rebalancing appetite hormones (ghrelin and leptin) → helps you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer.
👉 The result? Fewer cravings, smaller portions, and a natural path to weight loss without stimulants or crash diets.
Clinical Evidence — THCV and Weight Loss
The science isn’t just theoretical. Nitro-V™, the THCV extract inside DROP, was tested in a gold-standard clinical study:
Participants: 125 adults
Duration: 90 days
Format: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Protocol: No diet or exercise changes were required
Results:
🔥 Up to 22 lbs. lost in 90 days
🍽 61% reduction in hunger
🍩 40% fewer cravings for sweet and savory foods
📏 2.4 inches average waistline reduction
✅ 100% of participants lost weight (placebo group gained or stayed the same)
🛡 No adverse effects reported; bloodwork confirmed safety for liver, kidney, and cardiovascular health
THCV Beyond Weight Loss
The study revealed additional benefits of THCV supplementation:
😴 Better Sleep: +307% deep sleep, +50% REM sleep
😊 Mood Balance: Reduced anxiety, improved feelings of well-being
🩸 Blood Sugar Support: Pre-diabetic participants restored healthy HbA1c levels
🔥 Reduced Inflammation: Up to 73% reduction in key markers
This makes THCV not just a weight loss compound — but a holistic wellness molecule.

Why DROP Gummies Are Different
Not all THCV products are created equal. DROP is:
✅ Clinically proven — powered by Nitro-V™, tested in humans, not just animals
🌱 Plant-based & hemp-derived — federally compliant, non-synthetic
🛡 Safe & well-tolerated — no jitters, no crashes, no side effects
💊 Convenient — daily to-go packs with 4 gummies (recommended daily dose)
How to Use DROP for Best Results
The recommended daily dose is 4 gummies per day (each to-go pack contains 4).
You can take them:
All at once in the morning → appetite control + steady energy all day
Split (2 in the morning / 2 in the evening) → extended appetite support + evening recovery
👉 The key is consistency. Results build over time, with the biggest changes seen after 90 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does THCV make you high?
No. THCV is non-intoxicating and safe.
Is THCV the same as THC?
No. THC increases appetite, while THCV reduces appetite and supports weight loss.
Do I need to diet while taking DROP?
No. Participants lost weight without lifestyle changes, though healthy habits may enhance results.
Is DROP safe? Yes. No side effects were reported, and full blood panels confirmed safety.
Conclusion: The Future of Weight Loss Is THCV
Weight loss doesn’t have to mean fighting cravings or following unsustainable diets. THCV offers a new, science-backed path — one that works with your biology instead of against it.
That’s why DROP is more than a gummy. It’s the first clinically proven THCV supplement designed to help you lose weight, control cravings, and feel better from the inside out.
