Garcinia cambogia can help with weight loss because its active ingredient, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), inhibits the enzyme that converts carbohydrate into fat. Deactivating this enzyme may also suppress appetite. Garcinia cambogia HCA is a key ingredient in many weight loss formulas.*
Garcinia cambogia does not stimulate the nervous system unlike some other weight loss products. Garcinia cambogia is also known as the branded ingredient CitriMax.
