Garcinia Cambogia is a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit also known as Brindleberry or Malabar Tamarind. Though native to Indonesia, it is also grown in India, Southeast Asia, and West and Central Africa. It has long been used in traditional South Asian dishes, including curries and chutneys. Many also use the fruit for curing fish and preservation.
The weight management benefits of the plant are due to a natural substance found in the nutrient rich rind of the fruit.
The natural extract is known as Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been found to dramatically hasten weight management efforts by doing two things: It helps to block fat, and it suppresses your appetite.
HCA is an active ingredient extracted from the rind of Garcinia. It inhibits an enzyme called Citrate Lyase. This enzyme is responsible for creating fat cells from carbohydrates and converting carbohydrates into cholesterol and triglycerides.
When HCA inhibits Citrate Lyase, the fat-making process is halted and instead of converting sugar to fat, the liver will convert the sugar to glycogen – this glycogen is then used as energy. This prevents the formation of new fat cells in the body. The production of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides decreases when Citrate Lyase is inhibited.
Additionally the plant aids emotional eaters, as it balances moods, increasing serotonin levels, which may improve temperament and enhance sleeping patterns.
