Garcinia cambogia

Current uses

Garcinia cambogia is being currently promoted for weight loss due to various possible effects it may have on the body.

The herb has an effect on an enzyme which is used by the body to store fat, possibly resulting in a portion of the fats consumed from foods to be eliminated.
