Garcinia Plus

Garcinia cambogia is commonly known as Malabar tamarind, a fruit that is native to India and Southeast Asia. The rind of the fruit contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a natural phytochemical that has been studied for its effects on appetite, reducing triglyceride fats in the blood, fat metabolism.

To increase the benefits of Garcinia cambogia, it has been combined with these awesome co-ingredients to synergistically boost the metabolism benefits.

Bromelain - a naturally-occurring protein-digesting enzyme sourced from pineapple, which helps to decrease inflammation. It also helps to improve absorption of bigger phytonutrients like HCA.

Apple cider vinegar - assists in the metabolism of fats and proteins, as well as a good source of antioxidants.
Chromium polynicotinate - a trace mineral known for its blood sugar balancing qualities. It also is known to help the body metabolize cholesterol, protein, and fat.

Spirulina - a blue green algae full of nutrients, including plant-based protein, iron and antioxidants.

Sounds like a great combination, indeed! And a great benefit for you in your blood sugar and fat balancing, healthy weight maintenance, and maximizing metabolism goals!

CAUTIONS: 

Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you have a kidney disorder and/or diabetes; have gastrointestinal lesions / ulcers; are taking anticoagulant agents, anti-inflammatory agents or antibiotics; or before having surgery. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid sipping or drinking undiluted apple cider vinegar. Use cautiously in patients with osteoporosis, based on one case report. Hypersensitivity / allergy has been known to occur, in which case, discontinue use. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have been known to occur, in which case, discontinue use (and consult a health care practitioner). Delayed gastric emptying can lead to Gastroparesis. Theoretically, long term oral use of apple cider vinegar can decrease potassium levels, increasing the risk of toxicity of cardiac glycoside drugs such as digoxin (Lanoxin), adding to potassium-lowering effects of insulin, laxatives and diuretics such as furosemide.

Q: Has Garcinia cambogia been used for a long time?
A: As a food, Malabar tamarind rind is used to give dishes a sour flavour. It’s also a cousin of the mangosteen fruit.

Q: Are there other names Garcinia cambogia is known by?
A: Yes. Garcinia gummi-gutta is the updated scientific name for Garcinia cambogia tree.

Q: Tell me about the fruit itself.
A: The Malabar tamarind, also known as red mango, grows on a tree and looks like a multilobed green, yellow or red large tomato-sized pumpkin. The flesh is super sour, and is often pickled and used as a condiment.

Q: What else do I need to know about chromium? I’ve seen it in other products for weight management.
A: Chromium is a trace mineral known for its blood sugar balancing qualities. It helps to improve insulin’s ability to transport glucose into your cells, where energy is produced. In this way, blood sugar stays level, and therefore so does your energy over the day. No more dips and spikes! Chromium is also known to help the body metabolize cholesterol, protein, and fat. This allows you to use their fuel effectively, store energy properly, and get rid of excess.

Q: Tell me more about apple cider vinegar. I’ve heard about people taking it for all sorts of reasons.
A: Yes, apple cider vinegar has been used for a long time for a variety of reasons. It’s widely used by many to aid in the overall digestion process. This works by helping to increase stomach acid, required to break down complex peptides and assisting in digestive efficiency. This allows apple cider vinegar to help eliminate symptoms of bloating, flatulence and nausea. As a natural source of vitamin C, it can regulate connective tissue formation, improving collagen synthesis in the body for the maintenance of healthy gums, teeth, cartilage and skin. Vitamin C is also a fantastic antioxidant and an important nutrient for processing stressors. And, apple cider vinegar is known to increase metabolism associated with fat and protein breakdown, helping you to obtain your optimal weight. It also increases a sense of fullness, causing one to ingest fewer calories throughout the day. A great addition to Garcinia Plus!
