Garcinia Cambogia Weight Loss

In the world of weight loss and health supplements, the next ‘Big Bang’ has been the emergence of a supplement known as ‘Garcinia Cambogia‘. In an age where most adults regularly use vitamin and dietary supplements – and where many are looking for the perfect way to lose weight – is the advent of a Garcinia Cambogia supplement just pie-in-the-sky or is there really something beneficial in this supplement?

What is Garcinia Cambogia?

Studies by scientists into the properties of Garcinia Cambogia only really began in the late 1960′s. These properties have however, been known for millennia by the natives of the Asian countries in which the fruit grows. Garcinia Cambogia is also called the Tamarind and the rind of this fruit is used to flavour curries.

It is a very bitter fruit and is not edible in its raw form. I know this from a rather nasty personal experience when, on holiday some years ago, I was offered a slice of this apparently ‘wonderfully sweet fruit’.
I should have guessed there was something going on from the smirks on friends’ faces. I can tell you – hand on heart – ‘sweet’ is absolutely NOT how I would describe the taste of this fruit – lemons and limes do not even taste this bitter!

Traditionally – in some Indonesian villages – the fruit is the main ingredient in a weight loss soup, eaten as a starter before the main meal. Far from being a newly discovered eighth wonder of the world, the fat burning properties of the Garcinia Cambogia have been known for many centuries, in those Asian countries in which the fruit grows.

The active ingredient in extracts from the rind of the Garcinia Cambogia is Hydroxycitric Acid(HCA), similar to the citric fruit family. This chemical actually prevents the body’s natural production of an enzyme called citrate lyase – responsible for turning the body’s surplus carbohydrate into fat. If you are looking for the best way to supplement your weight loss program, blocking those nasty fat-making enzymes is almost like winning a ‘Get out of Jail FREE’ card in Monopoly.

Benefits of Garcinia Cambogia

There are three distinct benefits from this natural product:

• Suppression of appetite
• Increased carbohydrate – fat burning – qualities
• Detoxification of the body

HCA is proven to suppress the appetite by increasing serotonin levels – giving an energy boost and therefore suppressing hunger. That’s not all, the active ingredient of the Garcinia Cambogia works in two ways; not only does it suppress the appetite but, by blocking the citrate lyase enzymes, it improves the body’s ability to burn carbohydrates; leading to a reduction in cholesterol.

But there’s more… In addition to these amazing benefits, the anti-oxidants present in the fruit also help to cleanse the body. Could it possibly get any better?

Knowledge of the amazing qualities of the Garcinia Cambogia has been around for centuries, millennia even, and the only side effects of the natural form of the fruit would be the bitterest taste in your mouth if you ever tried to eat it raw.

It seems that the real effect of the HCA, present in the fruit extracts, is to suppress the appetite and the side effects of this are:

• Increased serotonin, reducing hunger pangs.
• Increased ability to burn carbohydrates; aiding weight loss.
• Reductions in levels of cholesterol.
• Detoxifying the body.

Pretty great side effects, wouldn’t you agree?

Purchasing Garcinia Cambogia as a supplement
The supplement has been available to purchase, on the internet, for some time now but has received little publicity until recently. Although there are currently many places on the web to buy this supplement, you should always make sure that you are purchasing a bona fide product from a trusted source.

Given the recent explosion of interest in this ‘new’ healthy weight loss supplement, it is likely that many high street herbalists, health & fitness and weight lossgroups will soon be stocking it on their shelves.

It is certainly worth trying as a supplement to your regular diet and exercise program.
