 Hydroxycitric Acid Info And Products Also Known As Garcinia Cambogia!
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is otherwise known as Garcinia Cambogia and derives from the dried rind of the Garcinia Cambogia (family Guttiferae) fruit. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this? Hydroxycitric acid has been used for centuries as a food condiment in Southeastern Asia to make food more filling and satisfying. Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) is a popular ingredient in commercial weight-loss preparations. Research suggests that HCA is effective at triggering safe weight-loss.1,2,3*
In athletes, HCA increases lipolysis11 and may improve the synthesis of Ach - Acetycholine.12* Acetycholine is a neurotransmitter responsible for muscular contraction, and an improvement in its synthesis may improve athletic performance by increasing exercise endurance.13 Learn more about the benefits of Hydroxycitric Acid on Clayton South's Health Facts. Animal studies show that HCA prevents "rebound" weight gain.14 Further research is needed to determine the importance of this finding in humans. When used in conjunction with pyruvate and carnitine, HCA may be more effective at promoting fat loss15, and Hydroxycitric acid has been shown to elicit weight loss without stimulating the central nervous system.16* Research also demonstrates that HCA may offer immune system protection.* Some studies do not support any benefit associated with HCA supplementation.18,19,20,21 but these studies are eclipsed by an overwhelming body of research testifying to HCA's efficacy.
No physiological need for hydroxycitric acid exists and thus no symptoms of deficiency exist. All persons can benefit from hydroxycitric acid supplementation.
Strictly adhere to label recommendations. Research has shown that HCA supplementation is non-toxic to humans, even in high doses.22,23 Supplementation may be accompanied by a slight breakdown of muscle tissue, though further research is necessary to confirm or debunk this possibility. REFERENCES
