Garcinia cambogia is a tropical plant whose fruit contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a biologically active compound critical for weight management. HCA works in two distinctive ways: it blocks the activity of the enzyme that drives the process of fat accumulation; it also exerts positive effects on serotonin levels to reduce appetite,  improve fat burning, and control cravings that can devastate weight loss initiatives. This encourages the metabolism of fat stored throughout the body, including belly (abdominal) fat, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Garcinia cambogia also appears to benefit fasting blood glucose and cholesterol levels, which can definitely help those with type II diabetes and hypercholesteremia (elevated cholesterol). New Roots Herbal’s Garcinia Cambogia extract has been validated in our ISO 17025–accredited laboratory for a minimum potency of 60% HCA. When taken on an empty stomach three times daily before meals, it can give you the side effect–free, natural nudge critical for your weight-loss and fitness goals.
