Garcinia (Garcinia cambogia)

Garcinia cambogia, also known as Malabar tamarindo, is native to Southeast Asia, Polynesia, and Africa. 

It should not be confused with African tamarindo (Tamarindus indica).

The most abundant active ingredient that gives this fruit its therapeutic effects is Hydroxycitric Acid, which must be present in at least 50%. 

Therapeutic uses of Garcinia: 

• It is attributed with satiating properties when taken 30-60 minutes before meals. 
• Helps reduce the fat stored by our body.  
• Reduces the conversion of simple sugars and some proteins into fat for storage. 
• Increases hepatic gluconeogenesis (causes our liver to release stored fat by converting it into carbohydrates and releasing it into the bloodstream to be burned). 
• Helps reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 

It is recommended to take this product along with physical exercise, even if it is gentle (walking, yoga, Pilates...). 

Contraindications: It should not be taken in cases of diabetes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or by children.
