Garcinia Extract

Garcinia cambogia is a tropical plant native to India and South-East Asia. It looks like a cross between a pumpkin and a tomato. It's also a supplement that has been promoted as a way to lose weight without additional exercise or dieting. The rind contains a chemical called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been studied for its effect on appetite. Garcinia cambogia supplements with HCA are marketed for weight loss. Garcinia cambogia has also been promoted for relief of joint pain and digestive symptoms and to improve athletic performance. These species provide a rich natural source of bioactive compounds with relevant therapeutic properties and anti-inflammatory effects, such as for the treatment of skin disorders.
