In recent years, there has been lots of gush about Garcinia Cambogia and its ability to allow weight loss. Let us know what is so great about this product and what makes it effective? Garcinia Cambogia is a pumpkin-shaped fruit and is green in color. This fruit has been used in several parts of Asia as a flavoring agent in many dishes. The other active component that contributes to weight loss is Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), which is found in the ring of the fruit.
Hydroxycitric Acid works in several ways. For instance, it suppresses the appetite by increasing serotonin level. Serotonin is a hormone that is produced in the brain and plays an important role in mood and sleep regulation. Moreover, it has some regulatory effect on appetite. It also subdues the enzyme “ATP citrate lyase,” which is an important enzyme in the method of de novo lipogenesis (DNL). DNL is the method of turning carbohydrates into lipids for storage.
As a consequence of the action attempted by Hydroxycitric Acid on the enzyme ATP citrate lyase, two carbon units needed for the manufacturing of fats, such as triglycerides and cholesterol are directed to the liver, where they are synthesized into glycogen rather than turning into fat. After that, Glycogen is released by the liver for body energy. At the time of DNL process, an indication is directed towards brain that initiates the release of the serotonin, which results into reduction of appetite.
