Garcinia Cambogia Extract comes from the fruit of the Garcinia cambogia tree. The fruits are edible, but too sour to be eaten raw. Garcinia Cambogia Extract has a wide range of purported uses, from medical to cosmetic to a condiment. Some believe it is an appetite suppressant, lipid inhibitor, fat burner, and that it can treat a wide variety of medical illnesses.
Garcinia Cambogia Extract is a botanical derivative primarily processed via solvent extraction or supercritical CO2 to isolate hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The core active component typically features the molecular formula C10H12O7 with CAS No. 2411-59-8.
Contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation due to insufficient safety data. Storage requires sealed containers at 2-8°C in dry, dark conditions to prevent HCA degradation. Avoid inhalation of fine particulate dust during handling.
