Garcinia Camogia is a type of tropical fruit which is more commonly known as the Malabar tamarind. In recent months this fruit has had some research done to it and it has shown to promote weight loss. Therefore the weight loss industry has tied onto this minimal research and they are now including it within their own weight loss supplement programmes. It has also been shown to help keep blood sugar levels in check too, along with cholesterol levels in check also.
The way that this ingredient works isn’t yet fully proven, however, as mentioned previously there has been a small amount of proven research carried out. Hydroxycitric acid or otherwise known as HCA has been shown to boost fat burn by cutting back appetite levels. It appears to block a typicaly enzyme called citrate lyase which is one of our enzymes in the body used to make fat.
