What is garcinia
cambogia
Garcinia
cambogia is a tropical fruit that also goes by the name Malabar tamarind. This
small or medium-sized tree grows mostly in Southeast Asia and India. The rind
of garcinia cambogia contains a chemical called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) and is
also used to make medicine. Garcinia cambogia can be used for exercise
performance, treating parasites and worms, increasing bowel movements, joint
pain, and weight loss.
The acid
within the fruit was discovered in the 1960s by scientists who were curious
about the pumpkin-shaped tropical fruit. These scientists discovered that this
acid was much like the citric acid found in other fruits, like lemons and
oranges. Much research has been done in regards to garcinia cambogia and the
HCA chemical it contains. These studies have shown that HCA could help control
appetite, increase exercise endurance, and prevent the storage of fat within
the body.
