What is one of the most difficult aspects of being on a diet?
More than eating unappetizing things or weighing ingredients, in our opinion the biggest struggle is simply one. Resistance. The hunger, the urge to snack or grab dessert at the end of a meal when out to dinner with friends.
Today we are talking about a natural remedy that can increase your sense of satiety, and thus make you eat less without struggling. Today we are talking about Garcinia.
Characteristics of Garcinia
Garcinia Cambogia is a plant that grows wild in tropical environments, such as Indonesia, Cambodia and the Philippines.
It is also known as Garcinia gummi-gutta, Malabar tamarind and Kudam puli. The fruits look like small bright green gourds, and the part used to make herbal remedies is the peel.
Garcinia has been the focus of numerous studies and online articles in recent years for its slimming abilities, but it has been known since ancient times as an appetite suppressant filler, so much so that it was used to be served before meals or soups. But let's see specifically what effects it has on the body.
But how does it really work?
The slimming "power" of this plant is related to an enzyme contained in the rind of the fruit, hydroxycitric acid (HCA). This molecule is able to block the liver enzyme that converts sugar into fat, blocking the process of lipogenesis.
This means that ingested carbohydrates, usually converted by the body into glucose and used as an energy reserve, will no longer be assimilated and will be excreted. Garcinia acts as a true metabolism activator, turning the body into an efficient fat-burning machine.
Numerous scientific studies allow us to say that taking a supplement containing the right concentration of Garcinia and the right percentage of HCA (60%), helps to lose weight up to 3 times more than subjects on a strenuous and strict diet. Our supplement, Garcinia Extra, is ultra-pure and titrated to 60% hydroxycitric acid (HCA).
However, it is always important to stress that any supplement, to be truly effective, must be accompanied by a balanced diet and constant exercise.
Last but not least, Garcinia extract increases serotonin production, lowering cortisol (and stress) levels. And when dieting, a little happy hormone doesn't hurt, right?
