Garcinia Cambogia Extract is a standardized botanical concentrate derived from the dried fruit rind of Garcinia cambogia (also known as Garcinia gummi-gutta), a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia and India. The fruit resembles a small pumpkin and has been used in traditional cuisine and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.

The primary bioactive component is Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) , a naturally occurring derivative of citric acid. HCA is the key functional compound responsible for the extract’s metabolic benefits. It exists in two forms: free acid and calcium/potassium salts, with the calcium salt form being the most common in commercial preparations.

Hydroxycitric Acid

HCA is known for its ability to inhibit ATP-citrate lyase, a key enzyme in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids. By blocking this enzyme, HCA reduces de novo lipogenesis (fat synthesis) and promotes glycogen storage, contributing to appetite suppression and weight management support. It is one of the most extensively studied natural ingredients for weight management, supported by numerous clinical trials and a long history of safe use.

Funktion
