Dietary supplement HCA (hydroxycitric acid) is a substance obtained from the fruit of the Garcinia cambodgia tree. HCA inhibits the synthesis of fat from carbohydrates and proteins and thus the formation of spare adipose tissue. Hydroxycitric acid blocks the citrate enzyme, which is responsible for providing acetyl groups for the synthesis of fatty acids in cells. These groups come from citrate, which is involved in the energy transformation of carbohydrates and proteins. In the initial stage of fatty acid synthesis, a compound is formed that prevents the use of reserve fat as an energy source. Blocking the enzyme enables more efficient fat burning. The preparation protects the body against excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in athletes using high-carbohydrate diets. Excess carbohydrates are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen.
 
HCA suppresses appetite, stimulates fat metabolism, while protecting proteins against catabolism. The preparation protects against the yo-yo effect, which usually occurs after the end of slimming treatments. The preparation has been enriched with strong lipotropic substances: L-carnitine, choline and inositol, which, together with HCA, enable effective fat burning with minimal calorie intake.
 
HCA facilitates the burning of fatty acids and protects athletes using high-carbohydrate diets against excessive accumulation of body fat.
 
A comprehensive combination of HCA with lipotropic substances: choline, L-carnitine, inositol effectively and quickly removes accumulated fat.
