Citric Acid (HCA) chemically similar to the citric acid found in oranges.

PHARMACOLOGY
One
of the factors for fat accumulation in the body is increased quantity
of the key enzyme known as ATP - citrate lyase which facilitates
the process of conversion of carbohydrates and sugars into fats
and cholesterol. The fruit extract of Garcinia cambogia (containing
50% of HCA as the chief ingredient) competitively blocks ATP -
citrate lyase enzyme making it ineffective which inturn hinders
the production and storage of body fats. By inhibiting this enzyme,
the fruit extract shifts the conversion of calories from fat to
glycogen. This increased production of glycogen stimulates the
glucoreceptors in the liver and sends satiety signals to the brain.
Thus appetite and food craving are suppressed. Besides promoting
glycogen production it also signals the Kreb's cycle to initiate
betaoxidation which burns the body's stored fat. Thus the fruit
extract containing highest concentration of HCA, promotes weight
loss and assists the body's natural cycles in proper metabolism
of fats. This has been verified by more than 20 years of research
by the Pharmaceutical giant - Goffmann-La-Roche and others.
| THERAPEUTIC
USES It decreases the rate of dietary carbohydrate
conversion to fat and cholesterol while increasing glycogen production. It suppresses
appetite thus reducing food consumption. It also potentially increases caloric
burning there by elevating the body's production of heat. It is nature's answer
to weight loss. | | SPECIFICATIONS: GARCINIA
