A relative newcomer to the weight loss market, Garcinia Cambogia is a small pumpkin-like fruit indigenous to Indonesia primarily used for cooking. (It is also used in Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient, traditional Indian medical system, as a digestive aid.) Recently, the dual weight loss properties of this product have been discovered, with it both preventing fat storage and suppressing the appetite. When the body has consumed excess carbohydrates, it converts them to fat - Garcinia Cambogia works by limiting the activity of the enzyme responsible for this conversion, causing a reduction in fat retained by the body. At the same time, it also increases serotonin (the 'happy hormone') which helps to control hunger pangs and improve moods.
HCA has been classified as a medicine by the Medicines and Health products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and as such Hectic Lifestyles only distributes an MHRA compliant Garcinia product.
