Functions:
Garcinia Cambogia Extract is popular in many natural weight loss products. The active ingredient is hydroxy citric acid (HCA), claimed to suppress appetite and enhance fat-burning.
Hydroxy citric acid (HCA) is found in only a few plants, with one rich source being the rind of a little pumpkin-shaped fruit called Garcinia cambogia, which is native to Southeast Asia. This fruit (also called Malabar tamarind) is used as a condiment in dishes such as curry.
The effect of HCA is enhanced when used in conjunction with a low-fat diet, because HCA does nothing to reduce the caloric effects of dietary fat. Since HCA's mechanism of action seems to be at least partially a blockade of conversion of simple sugars into fats, it is likely to work best in conjunction with a high simple sugar diet. High-fiber diets may impair absorption of HCA as noted above. HCA supplements are available in many forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, snack bars, and chewing gum.
