Hydroxycitric Acid (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a derivative of citric acid that is found in a variety of tropical plants including Garcinia cambogia and Hibiscus subdariffa. Laboratory and animal studies of HCA have produced results that indicate a potential for modulation of lipid metabolism; consequently HCA is an ingredient in some weight loss products and dietary supplements. However, a clinical study has demonstrated that HCA has no effect in terms of weight loss or reduction of fat mass.
