Citrin^® FORTE Citrin was the first extract standardized for (-) HCA, or hydroxycitric acid, and delivers 50% (-) HCA. It is derived from the rind of organically-grown, hand-harvested Garcinia cambogia fruit. (-)HCA blocks the enzyme which converts carbohydrates into fat. Independently tested for potency, and shown to be safe and effective in clinical studies, it is an important compliment to weight loss and weight maintenance programs. It is enhanced with the addition of Bioperine^®, a nutrient bio-availability enhancing extract from black pepper fruit.*
