What Is Garcinia Cambogia?

Garcinia cambogia is a small fruit which looks like a tiny pumpkin. It is native to parts of Asia, Indonesia, India and parts of Africa. Garcinia or tamarind, has been around for centuries, and what it can do for weight loss has basically revolutionized how we think of losing pounds. An extract taken from garcinia cambogia rind is called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) and it is very popular in many naturally weight loss products. HCA has an important function it suppress appetite and improves far burning. Also HCA prevents an enzyme (citrate lyase) which helps converts excess carbohydrates into body fat. By suppression this enzyme the body instead boosts carbohydrate oxidation, or simply put, burns the extra carbs. The use of HCA can help patients lose 2 to 3 times more weight than they would lose without taking the supplement. 

Recently, Dr. Oz called Garcinia Cambogia (HCA) the “Holy Grail of Weight Loss”- you’d better believe that it is worth taking a look at!
