Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is a leading supplier of Garcinia Cambogia. Garcinia Cambogia (botanical name) is a sour tasting, sub-tropical species of fruit plant that is native to Indonesia. It is commonly referred to as “Gambooge,” but it has many other names such as goraka, Brindle berry, brindall berry, Garcinia, or Malabar tamarind. Garcinia Cambogia thrives in wet, damp forests and is grown throughout Southeast Asia and through West to Central Africa. The part of Garcinia Cambogia that is used is the skin or rind of the fruit.
There is a vast historical use of Garcinia Cambogia in preparing curries used in cooking and it is a major staple of traditional recipes. Traditional medicine has also used Garcinia Cambogia as a laxative for medical treatment. The modern day commercial use of Garcinia Cambogia is in fish preservation such as the curing and smoking of fish meat. Modern applications of Garcinia Cambogia are using it as an herbal extract in appetite-suppressant supplements and other energy boosting products.
Garcinia Cambogia popular in weight loss and dietary supplements is because of its naturally high content of Hydroxycitric acid (HCA). Hydroxycitric acid is a derivative of citric acid, which is found in many tropical plants. Current lab studies have indicated that Hydroxycitric acid could impact regulation of the metabolism. The theory behind the benefit for Hydroxycitric acid is that it can inhibit the enzyme Citrate Lyase, which is used in converting carbohydrates to fat. When Hydroxycitric acid inhibits Citrate Lyase, the body begins to burn carbohydrate molecules rather than converting and storing them as fat cells. As carbohydrates are burned, the pancreas releases glycogen into the bloodstream and as glycogen is released, it sends signals to the brain that the stomach is full.
