Hydroxycitric acid is good for you when trying to lose weight and keep off belly fat.
Hydroxycitric acid works in your body to block an enzyme called citrate lyase and that enzyme that is being blocked is what causes your body to make fat so by blocking that enzyme your body cannot produce fat which keeps you from gaining weight.
Hydroxycitric acid is found in fruit rinds of Garcinia cambogia, Garcinia indica, and Garcinia atroviridis and is similar to citric acid.
