tasteless, odorless powder and found to be very effective herbal alternate for weight control; it suppresses the appetite and induces weight loss through a thermogenic action.
Precautions: a) Individuals diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus should use extreme caution in taking HCA due to its glycemic action.

b) Pregnant and lactating women should also avoid using any supplements containing HCA.

c) Individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia syndromes should avoid using HCA due to the possibility of forming acetylcholine in the brain.

 
Indications: Its nontoxic extract is used as an appetite suppressant and to inhibit the absorption and synthesis of fat, cholesterol and triglycerides. Garcinia Cambogia does not interfere with energy production, nutrient metabolism, prostaglandin synthesis, or any other essential biochemical process.
HCA does not stimulate the central nervous system in order to burn calories. The fruit is used as a condiment in dishes such as curry.
