Hydroxycitrate (HCA) is a bioactive component found in Garcinia. Garcinia is a plant used in Ayurvedic traditional medicine to help with “fat burn” and is a key ingredient in the natural health drink SLIM&FIT.
Investigations by Cheng et al showed that supplementation with HCA significantly increased energy reliance on fat oxidation in cyclists. The study reports the first evidence that HCA supplementation enhanced glycogen synthesis rate in exercised human muscle and improved post-meal insulin sensitivity.
The results above suggest that SLIM&FIT is a good choice for the control of weight in conjunction with an appropriate exercise programme. Furthermore, SLIM&FIT could help endurance athletes to digest fats in a more efficient manner.
