DRIED ORGANIC BRINDLEBERRY POWDER - Garcinia cambogia - Free Post
The fruit Garcinia cambogia, known as brindleberry, is native to Asia and used traditionally in Indian and Asian cooking. Several herbal supplements for weight loss and fat burning also include this ingredient or a concentrated amount of its active component, hydroxycitric acid. Consult a qualified health care provider before beginning any herbal therapy.
Brindleberry has a rind rich in hydroxycitric acid, and is the primary source of this substance, according to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, or BIDMC. Hydroxycitric acid is similar to the citric acid found in oranges, grapefruit and other citrus fruit. Some research supports the use of brindleberry and HCA for weight loss, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
The BIDMC cites a placebo-controlled study in which a group of participants taking 440 milligrams of HCA three times daily experienced significant weight loss compared to a group taking a placebo. In contrast, a study published in the Nov. 11, 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found no significant difference in weight loss in participants taking 1500 milligrams of HCA daily or a placebo. The BIDMC notes that both groups were eating a high-fiber diet, and this type of diet may reduce absorption of HCA.
