hydroxycitric acid tripotassium hydrate

Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium hydrate (Potassium citrate monohydrate) is the major active ingredient of Garcinia cambogia and a derivative of citric acid, which effectively inhibits stone formation and HIF, and has antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-tumor effects. It also competitively inhibits ATP citrate lyase, offering weight loss benefits.

(-)-Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) can inhibit fat synthesis and reduces food intake, the primary mechanism of action of HCA appears to be related to its ability to act as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme ATP-citrate lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of citrate and coenzyme A to oxaloacetate and acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), primary building blocks of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.

Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium is a high-purity biochemical reagent used in biochemical experiments and pharmaceutical synthesis research.

(-)-Hydroxycitric acid (Garcinia acid) is the principal acid found in the fruit rinds of Garcinia cambogia. It acts as a potent and competitive inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase, suppressing fatty acid synthesis, food intake, lipogenesis, and inducing weight loss.
