Also known as tamarind, Garcinia Cambogia is a small superfruit native to Indonesia but also grown in India, South East Asia and West and Central Africa. It contains a substance in its rind known as HCA or hydroxytric acid.
HCA (hydroxycitric acid) prevents fat loss by preventing carbohydrates converting into fat. Effectively a fat blocker, Gymmenic acid reduces intestinal absorption of glucose and may stimulate pancreatic beta cell function, increasing the release of insulin. Chromium works synergistically with HCA and Gymmenic acid promoting energy release rather than fat storage.
Studies are ongoing for this superfruit, but they have shown many other health benefits such as acting as a digestion aid, anti-inflammatory, appetite suppressant, immune strengthener, assissting with maintaining healthy insulin levels, and a metabolism stimulant to help burn excess fat.
Available in bottles of 60 tablets.
