The Guttiferae family includes the genus Garcinia Extract, which is a medicinal tree that is primarily found in tropical regions and may be found in India, Malaysia, and Africa. Its botanical name is Garcenia cambogia. Southwest India's evergreen or semi-evergreen woods are a frequent habitat for Garcenia cambogia. Since ancient times, dried fruit rinds of Garcenia have been widely utilized in Southeast Asia's cuisine as a condiment and flavoring ingredient in place of tamarind or lemon. Garcinia extract is helpful for shedding pounds and preventing the buildup of fat.
The seasoning of curries, beef, and seafood are additional culinary applications. The Garcinia Extract from the fruit rind of Garcinia Cambogia has been used as a carminative, which helps to reduce the formation of gas in the GI tract after a meal, as well as a flavoring agent for beverages and gourmet spices.
A scientific investigation on garcinia extract has revealed the existence of HCA (Hydroxy Citric Acid), a derivative of citric acid that is found in plant species native to South East Asia and India. HCA is present in garcinia fruit extract. According to several research, HCA suppresses hunger by competitively inhibiting the enzyme adenosine triphosphatase and increasing the release or availability of serotonin in the brain.
Other hypothesized weight loss strategies include inhibiting intestinal and pancreatic enzymes, which lowers glucose metabolism. Flavonoids from the Gracinia Extract were also found to lower lipid levels in both normal and hypercholesterolemic rats, according to the study. Studies revealed that Garcenia extract increased the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in rat tissue. Garcenia Extract lessens oxidative stress on cells and aids in lowering intestinal glucose absorption. Additionally, garcinia extract functions as a natural hemostatic and antioxidant supplement
