GARCINIA CAMBOGIA EXTRACT

Product Data

Garcinia Cambogia, an exotic fruit grown in South India, has been used to impart a distinctive sour flavor to India cooking. It is a source for a revolutionary natural diet ingredient which is currently a rage in America, Japan, Europe, and other western countries.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract is the calcium salt of Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA), which is obtained from water extract of Garcinia Cambogia fruit. It works as a "partitioning agent" in that the calories obtained from carbohydrates are used in the production and storage of glycogen, rather than fat.

Garcinia Cambogia fills the glycogen stores in the liver and other tissues, thereby reducing appetite while increasing energy levels. Garcinia Cambogia lowers the production of triglycerides and cholesterol and may also increase thermogenesis, the burning of calories.

Unlike chemical stimulants commonly used in weight loss products, Garcinia Cambogia does not act on the central nervous system. This means that Garcinia Cambogia will not cause insomnia, nervousness, changes in blood pressure or heart rate and its effectiveness will not diminish with time.

The declared microbial contamination standard for Garcinia Cambogia is 1,000 CFU/g. Through a special sterilization technique achieved during production, NutriScience Innovations, LLC. is able to supply Garcinia Cambogia with a microbial level less than 300 CFU/g and free from yeast, mold and other contaminants.

NutriScience also supplies Garcinia Cambogia Extract Potassium Salt, a 100% water soluble grade for use in weight loss beverages and tonics.
