NOW Foods Garcinia 1000mg 120 Tablets

NOW® Garcinia features a standardized extract of Garcinia cambogia, a fruit native to Southeast Asia that has been used for centuries by traditional herbalists. Each tablet supplies 1,000 mg of Garcinia cambogia standardized to 50% HCA and tested to guarantee 500 mg of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the fruit's primary bioactive constituent.* HCA has been extensively studied for its effects on citrate lyase, the main enzyme involved in the cellular synthesis of fatty acids, and studies indicate that in the presence of HCA cells produce fewer fatty acids from carbohydrates.* It is a standardized, guaranteed-potency botanical for those focused on a healthy metabolism.*

Frequently asked questions

What is Garcinia cambogia and HCA?
Garcinia cambogia is a fruit native to Southeast Asia used for centuries by traditional herbalists. Its main bioactive is hydroxycitric acid (HCA); this extract is standardized to 50% HCA and tested to guarantee 500 mg of HCA per tablet, giving you a consistent, known dose.*

How does HCA work?
HCA has been studied for its effects on citrate lyase, the main enzyme responsible for the cellular synthesis of fatty acids.

If you have a medical condition, including any affecting blood sugar or the liver, review it with your physician first, and discontinue use if you experience any adverse reaction. Keep out of reach of children and do not exceed the recommended amount.
