Garcinia Campogia (HCA): Effective for weight loss?

 

Garcinia cambogia extract, a popular ingredient in weight loss products and diet pills, comes from a fruit indigenous to India and parts of central Asia. The extract from the fruit is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been purported to suppress appetite and enhance fat-burning. Animal research supports these claims, but subsequent human trials have been unclear.

HCA inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase which helps turn excess carbohydrates into fat. By inhibiting citrate lyase, it is believed the body boosts carbohydrate oxidation -burning carbohydrates.

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study that used daily doses of HCA over a 12 week period on overweight human adults. At the end of the 12 weeks, the group receiving garcinia cambogia did not lose any more weight than the control group that received placebos. Of course this study was disputed by advocates of garcinia campogia -those profiting from the sale of the product.
