What is a Garcinia Cambogia Supplement?
Garcinia cambogia extract is a fat burning supplement that specifically utilises its hydroxycitric acid, which is a citric byproduct, to block fat by inhibiting citrate lyase—a metabolic enzyme that converts sugar and carbohydrates into fatty acids, triglycerides, and unhealthy cholesterol. With new research, health and medical professionals began offering garcinia cambogia extract, combined with other remedies that also contain fat burning compounds, to assist with weight loss efforts by suppressing appetite and stopping the body from storing excess fat.
What Does a Garcinia Cambogia Supplement Do?
A garcinia cambogia extract supplement is well known for its appetite suppressant capabilities. Garcinia cambogia’s HCA nutrient suppresses appetite by increasing serotonin levels in the body, which is a neurotransmitter in the brain that is responsible for mood, as well as appetite control. In short: with raised serotonin levels, the body naturally curbs hunger cravings, including sugar cravings.
Garcinia cambogia is an alternate fat burning supplement that can also raise metabolic rate. The hydroxycitric acid not only stops the body from storing unnecessary fat cells, it can also balance the chemical reactions that take place within the metabolism, essentially using fat stores as potent energy.
Garcinia Cambogia Extract May Provide Positive Results
While studies are still being carried out, researchers believe that garcinia cambogia is a fat burning supplement that may improve weight-loss efforts by suppressing appetite, raising serotonin levels, balancing metabolic rate, and boosting energy levels.
According to a few different studies, researchers were able to determine that hydroxycitric acid found in garcinia cambogia can assist individuals with slimming efforts. For example: In an 8-week double blind, placebo-controlled trial, 60 overweight patients were each given a 440 mg dose of HCA three times a day. After the 8-week trial, patients discovered that they lost a significant amount of weight. However, not enough in-depth research has been conducted and therefore it remains unclear whether HCA can specifically help individuals with weight loss goals.(1)
