Natural Way To Lose Weight

Garcinia is a tropical tree that belong to the botanical family called Guttifirae. The peel from Garcinia cambogia has astringent and antiseptic properties and are used as a mouthwash for alleviating sore throats. Drinking Garcinia as a tea helps ease digestion and rheumatism. This plant produces a yellowish resin which has tremendous therapeutic properties.

The juice from this fruit is normally sweet and slightly sticky. The fruit matures is harvested between June and October when it reaches its maximum size of about 2 inches and is a brilliant yellow orange color.

A substance in the peel of Garcinia known as Hydrocitric acid or HCA is important for its therapeutic properties . This acid is very similar to the acid found in oranges, limes, as well as other citrus fruits but having different medicinal properties.

HCA therapeutic Properties :

• Takes away hunger reducing appetite - due to the fact that the organism, with the help of HCA, increases the glucogenesis (the transformation of the carbohydrates into glucose) and increases the efficiency in the production of energy, reflected in a reduction of the desire to eat. It reduces appetite without stimulating or causing any problem to the nervous system, as is the case with some stimulant like Efedra or Efedrina. When a nervous system stimulant is used it produces an artificial and temporary increase in energy which can lead to insomnia, nervousness and hyperactivity, in addition to a great loss of energy when its effects wear off producing fatigue and weakness. No such situation occurs with Garcinia.
• Taking Garcinia also benefits people suffering from Hypoglycemia because it lowers the effect of the lack of sugar or food.
• Accelerates metabolism, which in turn, burns fat and carbohydrates (oxygenating them and converting them into energy).
• Fat burning - HCA stimulates the liver. Oxidation, chemical breakdown or fat burning, takes place within the cell mitochondrion (the oven of the cell) this property being the main benefit derived from taking the HCA of the Garcinia.
• Doesn't reduce muscular bulk - an important point to mention about the HCA is that fat burning is increased while at the same time the burning or oxidation of proteins is stopped. Therefore, corporal fat will be reduced but not muscle tissue.

• Chromium picolinate reinforces the HCA action. The chromium picolinate is an important substance for insulin's correct operation. As we remember, insulin is a hormone that plays a role in the transport of glucose into the cell for burning (oxidizing) and the production of energy. The combination of HCA, shromium picolinate and L-carnitine is perfect for helping people lose weight and control cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as obtaining desirable energy levels.
• Garcinia increases the liver functions and energizes the brain tissues.
• Decreases excess weight.
• Helps to reduce level of lipids in the blood, as well as triglycerides and cholesterol without the side effects.
• In athletes, fat free musculature and obtain more energy.
• Helps in the function of insulin in persons with problems of diabetes (consult your physician)
• Helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Helps to control hypoglycemia.

It is important to consider the fact that if fat is consumed it will easily end up in the body's fat deposits; waist, thigh, etc., while the carbohydrates and proteins have to suffer transformation in order to be converted into fat and later used by the body to produce energy when it is required.

Pregnant women or lactating women should not go on this diet. If it is necessary, do so only under strict medical supervision.

Recommended dosage for an adult is 500 mg. three times a day, or 1,500 mg./day. Nevertheless, it is recommended that during the first week to take only 1 capsule of 500 mg. per day and then increase it to the daily amount.

It is recommended to take Garcinia 30 to 60 minutes before meals in order for it to be more effective. It has been proven that the effectiveness of Garcinia increases if taken 2 to 3 times a day instead of the dosage at once.
