GarciMax

With GarciMax, Vitobest® offers us the properties of the fruits of the Garcinia cambogia, a tree that grows in southern India and is widely used in naturopathy for its multiple benefits.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obesity are defined as an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that can be harmful to health, causes are rooted in an energy imbalance between calories consumed and expended, and to avoid them or eliminate them a healthy diet and regular physical activity are essential.

One way that can complement this effort by optimizing its results is responsible supplementation. That's why, and because we always bet on the best raw materials on the market, Vitobest® presents its weight control line, specially designed to meet all your needs. GarciMax is one of its star products.

Made from dry extract of Garcinia cambogia, it is based on the active ingredient of the fruits of this plant: the hydroxycitric acid or HCA (60 %). HCA constitutes a competitive inhibitor of the ATP-Citrate Lyase metabolic enzyme that reduces the production of Acetyl Coenzyme A (involved in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates), thus reducing the formation of fats and cholesterol¹.

Studies developed with animals also demonstrate the effectiveness of natural HCA in weight control: it curbs appetite and inhibits the biosynthesis of body fat. In addition, it may be beneficial in the treatment of depression, insomnia, migraines, and other conditions deficient in serotonin².

As an added value to its formulation, GarciMax, from Vitobest®, uses Chromax® chromium picolinate, a very high-quality mineral that contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and to maintaining normal levels of glucose in the blood.

Vitobest® uses for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free of titanium dioxide.

Product claims:

• Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.
• Chromium helps maintain normal blood glucose levels.
