Citrin® is a clinically validated, standardized extract derived from the fruit rinds of Garcinia cambogia, containing 50% Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) and 18% Calcium that supports weight management.
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the bioactive compound in Garcinia cambogia, is reported to inhibit citrate lyase, the key enzyme involved in the formation of fatty acids in the body, during the Kreb’s Cycle. It facilitates the oxidation process of fatty acid, which meets the energy requirements of the body. It provides a sense of satiety and hence has appetite suppressant benefits.
