To Garcinia or Not to Garcinia?! Lose Weight The Healthy Way!

There is a very poplar topic of conversation lately on the TV networks, about a fruit that has got people excited, and talks about how it helps with weight loss and over-all health. It's called Garcinia Cambogia. This is a fruit that comes from the exotic jungles of Southeast Asia. It was discovered that this fruit, while it was being eaten in its raw form, was consumed by what observers noticed as to be very healthy people. This fruit is small and pumpkin shaped and has a key ingredient HCA (hydroxycitric acid) which, when extracted from this fruit, has properties that aid with weight loss. By using a natural ingredient verses a chemically-produced weight loss ingredient, weight loss is not your only goal because you are also contributing to your overall health and well-being at the same time.

This is how it works. The HCA works as a blocker to the enzymes that our bodies use to convert unused energy or glucose into fat deposits. This enzyme blocking process is responsible for preventing the formation of fat. Your body breaks down stored fat cells, increasing your metabolism which in effect, burns fat. It also increases your serotonin in the brain giving you energy as well as suppressing your appetite. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter. It is mainly found in the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system and is thought to contribute to a sense of happiness and over all well-being.

There are many products out there incorporating Garcinia Cambogia. So many, that it makes it difficult to figure out which one is the most beneficial. There are some factors you should consider before making your decision.

• First would be the amount of HCA these products actually have. Many have anywhere between 30% to 50% HCA, while others have 60% or more.

• Another factor to look for is what other ingredients they include in their formula that could either be beneficial or may not have any health benefits at all. Some will utilize synthetic fillers, in order to create a cheaper version of the product, while others will add additional healthy and beneficial ingredients to work as "a team" formula in helping with your weight loss goals.

• A third, important factor to look for is if the company offers a risk-free, money back guarantee. If they have an offer like this, that is a pretty good indication that they put a lot of time and faith in their product that their product actually works. Some companies will offer free trial bottles for a certain period of time, where you would pay only the shipping fee, while others offer the product at a discounted rate but will refund your money if not satisfied.

Try before you buy. If losing weight but staying healthy while doing it is your goal, there are many companies with good products out there that are helpful and offer ways for you to try their products first before you commit to something that just isn't right for you. Losing weight isn't easy for everyone, but with a little time invested in yourself with good eating habits, some exercise and healthy supplements, your goals are not impossible!
