For thousands of years, Ayurveda has advocated the use of plants to maintain or regain good health. We are looking for a well-being as well inside as outside.
The body and the concept of thinness have taken a considerable place in the West but for Ayurveda, being well in one's body does not necessarily imply being thin or even skinny. We all have our own morphology, governed by our doshas.
Ayurveda prefers to talk about body weight because our morphology is defined by our doshic constitution and each individual is unique.
However, over the years and experiences, our body can take small curves, change a little morphology. Ayurveda has a panel of plants to help us eliminate gently, naturally and thus find our weight of form.

It is its HCA (hydroxycitric acid) content that gives garcinia all its virtues. This enzyme would indeed prevent the transformation of sugars into fat and eliminate the fat already present.
Garcinia has a real slimming action by reducing the storage of fat and avoiding the appearance of new curves. But it also has an appetite suppressant effect because it reduces the sensation of appetite. Satiety is thus reached more quickly, avoiding eating without hunger.
