iHealth Nutrition Garcinia Cambogia (400mg) - 120 Capsules

Garcinia Cambogia Extract is a supplement that comes from the rind of the Garcinia Cambogia fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. The most valuable part of Garcinia is the yellow, pumpkin shaped fruit, which is also referred to as assam fruit.

The Garcinia fruit is frequently used as a souring agent for a selection of dishes in India and Asia, and because of this asset it is also used in Indian medicine as a digestive aid.

Garcinia fruit also has anti-bacterial effects and is used to treat and preserve fish in Southeast Asia and India. Lately, in Asia, this component has been used as a food additive because it makes you feel full quicker, which avoids over-eating and supports weight loss.

A phytochemical found in Garcinia, called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), has a doubling effect on supporting weight loss. Firstly, HCA has the capacity to decrease appetite by way of increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that targets mood and sleep patterns. By increasing serotonin levels, the need for food intake reduces, your mood enhances, and weight gain decreases. Secondly, HCA can support weight loss by preventing an enzyme called ATP-citrate-lyase (ACL). This enzyme helps transfer excess carbohydrates (sugars) into fat in the body. When HCA restrains ATP-citrate-lyase, storing fat is blocked in the body.
