GARCINIA CAMBOGIA

TRADE NAME: Garcinia Cambogia

CHEMICAL NAME:

TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT: Weight Loss

WHAT IT IS: Garcinia Cambogia is an Indian fruit that contains Hydroxycitric acid (HCA).

HOW IT WORKS: In order for the body to convert carbohydrates into fat, citrate lyase (an enzyme in cells) is need to change the broken down carbs (now citrate compounds) into acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). HCA, the active ingredient extracted from Garcinia Cambogia, inhibits citrate lyase and blocks the conversion of citrate to acetyl CoA, basically suppressing fat synthesis. It must be taken into consideration that the enzyme citrate lyase is only active in cases where the of carbohydrates are over consumed in the diet.

PRIMARY AFFECTS: Garcinia has been used for weight loss, appetite suppression, reducing body fat accumulation, weight control and maintenance, and to boost the metabolism.

EFFECTIVE DOSAGE LEVEL: For effective appetite suppression and body weight reduction, about 750mg-1500mg is taken in divided doses of 2 to 3 about 30 minutes to and hour before mealtime.

SUPPLEMENT CONFLICTS: Some diets may prohibit the absorption of HCA into the system, and Garcinia Cambogia has not been proven to reduce weight alone.

SIDE EFFECTS: There are no known serious side effects, although some distress in the gastro-intestinal region has been associated with high dosage.

WEIGHT LOSS AND LONGEVITY


ADDITIONAL RESEARCH IN LONGEVITY: By increasing the levels of serotonin in the body, HCA allows the user to feel full (subsequently suppressing the appetite), which is the primary factor in weight loss. In studies, general weight loss has been shown in animals, but not adequately proven in humans. Garcinia contains decent amounts of Vitamin C, and may also have gastric ulcer protectant. All studies show for the most part that Garcinia Cambogia works best for weight loss when combined with other weight loss supplements.
