Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) Weight Loss SupplementsHydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a compound found in Garcinia cambogia, a type of fruit. A double-blind trial that provided either 1,500 mg of HCA or a placebo per day to 135 overweight men and women, who also were on a calorie-restricted diet, found after 12 weeks that the HCA supplementation did not produce a significant change in weight loss. Uncontrolled and/or preliminary evidence from several other human trials suggests the possibility that weight loss might occur; however, none of these studies is as methodologically strong as the above negative trial. At the present time, the efficacy of HCA for weight loss remains unclear. Diet and Weight Loss Supplements Supplements to Lose Weight |
