Super CitriMax® 60% HCA is a patented, water extracted form of hydroxycitric acid, derived from the rind of Garcinia cambogia. It is uniquely bound to calcium and potassium which enhances its solubility, bioavailability and efficacy across a wide range of applications.
HCA has a unique mechanism of action, inhibiting ATP citrate lyase, the enzyme responsible for converting citrate into acetyl coenzyme A - a primary building block for fatty acid synthesis. In addition, HCA boosts serotonin availability, leading to increased satiety, reduced caloric intake and balanced energy metabolism.
Super CitriMax® 60% HCA is self-affirmed GRAS (generally recognized as safe).
