Garcinia cambogia health benefits and their side effects

FAJAR.CO.ID – Garcinia Cambogia is a tropical fruit found in Malabar Javanese tamarind trees in India and Southeast Asia. In many cultures, the flesh and skin of the fruit have been used as a spice, food preservatives, flavorings, or spices.

Garcinia cambogia may be beneficial for certain health conditions, including controlling appetite, losing weight, and losing blood fat levels.

However, conflicting research shows that these supplements may not be very useful in treating these conditions, as reported by Health.

Helps lose weight

Garcinia cambogia supplements are generally marketed as a weight loss aid. Garcinia cambogia skin contains a chemical called hydroxycitrate acid (HCA), which has been examined in losing weight.

Researchers believe that HCA helps reduce appetite (so you feel full faster) while limiting the body’s ability to produce fat tissue (adiposa). Reducing food portions and creating less fat tissue is likely to help you lose weight.

The amount of weight loss seen from Garcinia Cambogia is often relatively small.

For example, a study found that the dose of Garcinia cambogia 1,000-4,667 milligrams (mg) consumed for 8-12 weeks to lose weight participants by 1.3 kilograms (kg) (2.9 pounds (LBS)).

Although many studies have reported the potential benefits of weight loss from Garcinia Cambogia, other studies found that this product did not affect the appetite or body fat.
