Chromium
HCA is a natural non-stimulant formula that
combines chromium picolinate with hydroxy citric
acid (HCA). HCA is a safe, natural citric acid
extract from the dried fruit of the Garcinia
cambogia plant. This fruit is native to India
and Asia, where it has a centuries-old tradition
for use in food preparation and preservation.
HCA does not affect the central nervous system
or have any known side effects.
Experts theorize that
HCA may help reduce the synthesis of fat in the
body. When the body takes in more calories than
it needs to meet its energy demands, ATP-citrate
lyase is the enzyme responsible for creating
acetyl-CoA from citrate, which is then used in
fatty acid synthesis. HCA binds to ATP-citrate
lyase and blocks the enzyme from making the
fat-producing acetyl CoA.
Appetite is controlled
in part by nerve messages sent from the liver to
the brain. Researchers believe that HCA may also
influence appetite by increasing liver glycogen
(stored glucose) levels, which in turn triggers
the satiety (fullness) center of the brain.
Chromium picolinate is
a combination of the trace mineral chromium and
picolinic acid. Studies suggest that 200 to 400
mcg of chromium picolinate daily decreases fat
mass, percent body fat, and scale weight.†
Researchers theorize that chromium picolinate
triggers the release of proper amounts of
insulin into the bloodstream. Maintaining and
moderating blood sugar directly affects glucose
metabolism, because insulin accelerates the
transport of glucose into the cell, making it
available for energy production. Insulin helps
the body maintain the proper nutritional balance
of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and
cholesterol. This balance promotes a healthier,
leaner body.
Chromium HCA
supports the body's ability to:
- Inhibit the
production and storage of fat
- Promote healthy
blood sugar levels
- Promote healthy
changes in body composition*
Directions:
