Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit which looks exactly like a pumpkin, but smaller in size. It is mostly found in parts of Asia and India. This fruit’s extract is used in many weight loss products worldwide as some claim that the extract is quite effective and powerful for weight loss.The way Garcinia Cambogia works is that it stops the creation of citrate lyase enzyme in the human body. The job of the enzyme is to convert extra carbs in the body to fat. Since Garcinia stops this enzyme from doing so, it prevent extra carbs from being turned into fat. Another way Garcinia helps in promoting weight loss is by promoting carbohydrate oxidation. The term refers to burning of extra carbohydrates in the body.
There are other benefits of Garcinia fruit like it is an energy booster and also acts as appetite suppressant. If you take 1 capsule an hour before your meals, and also take a glass full of water, you will find that your hunger will diminish significantly and you will eat less. People who cannot control themselves from overeating can find this useful. However, if you don’t eat much anyhow, then this might not be good thing for you. If your appetite is already less, then what is the use of suppressing it? It can in fact be harmful for your health if you do so. Clearly in your case, your overweight problem is not due to over-eating.
The second major benefit is that it has strong anti-oxidant properties which help in shrinking the fat cells stored in the body. People who have a big belly can find taking Garcinia extract beneficial in getting rid of that unwanted belly fat. It is said that even if someone does not change his dieting habits and takes this Garcinia extract regularly, he can lose up to 10 pounds per month. If you improve your eating habits and do a little bit of exercise, then the results can be greater.
People with diabetes, pregnant women, small children and those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease are advised not to take Garcinia extract capsules. Normal, healthy adults might take them in limited doses after consulting with their doctor. Normally, capsules are available in the market. These capsules usually contain HCA (which is an active ingredient in Garcinia Cambogia). Normally 45-55% HCA per capsule is the recommended dosage. However, it is always a good idea to consult your doctor who can be in the best position to decide how much and in what quantity you should take the capsules.
