Citrin & Chromium
(Diet Formula)
Citrin
In 1991 Citrin was introduced to the health food industry as the
first all natural plant extract standardized for hydroxycitric acid.
This unique extract comes from premium hand harvested Garcinia Cambodia
fruits grown in selected regions of southern India. The active principle
of Citrin, hydroxycitric acid, is in the rind of Garcinia Cambodia.
What is HCA
HCA stands for hydroxycitric acid. Hoffman-LaRoche, an international
pharmaceutical company and Brandeis University researchers began
investigating HCA in the early 1970's They found that the (-) form of
HCA was a potent and competitive inhibitor of citrate lyase, an enzyme
found primarily in the liver which is vital in regulating fat metabolism
How does HCA work?
Fatty acids are the building blocks of
fats and lipids. At the cellular level, (-)HCA molecules
"trick" the citrate lyase enzyme. The receptor sites of
citrate lyase enzymes are filled with (-)HCA. This means fewer fatty
acids are synthesized, making less fat available for cellular storage.
This results in less body fat build-up in the liver and adipose (fat)
tissue. Increased amounts of energy at the cellular level are then
available to more rapidly degrade free fatty acids.
Is This All?
No ... (-)HCA
suppresses appetite thus reducing food intake. When you consume food the
body begins breaking down carbohydrates into glucose (a necessary form
of sugar). The liver functions to ensure that the blood continually has
adequate glucose to fuel the brain with energy . Excess glucose
molecules would normally break down into fat or cholesterol . However
(-) HCA temporarily inhibits the citrate lyase enzyme and excess glucose
is converted to glycogen in the liver . When glucose and glycogen reach
a certain level, the brain gets a signal of "fullness",
suppressing appetite and reducing the desire for more food. The benefits
of Citrin are two-fold 1.).inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids in the
liver , and 2.) it promotes an increased availability of glycogen in the
liver, thus sending a "full" signal to the brain sooner
