Natur Boutique Appetite Garcinia Cambogia Tea - 20 Sachets

Yoga: Garcinia Cambogia “is reported to aid weight loss. Free from all nasty chemicals, it has a lovely lemony taste… “

Garcinia cambogia, or brindal berry, is traditionally used in South East Asia to add flavour to cooking and help maintain a good body weight. The ‘berry’ can grow up to the size of a grapefruit and produces a tea with a unique lemony taste and a wonderful citrus aroma.

Whilst you might not be able to find actual brindal berries in the UK, Natur Boutique’s Garcinia Cambogia tea offers a practical and tasty way to include it in your diet.

A study has added weight to the argument that the fruit could offer an unusual weight loss tool. Researchers fed animals either a normal diet, a diet with 30% added fat, a normal diet plus Garcinia Cambogia (GC) extract, or a 30% added fat diet plus GC extract. As expected, in animals fed on the high fat diet blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (fats that are the main constituent of body fat) were seen to rise. However when animals were fed on the high fat diet plus the GC extract these rises were significantly less. Whilst the observed reduction in triglycerides could at least in part explain the anecdotal observations of weight loss in humans the researchers made another discovery that might also come into play.

They found that when the animals fed on the 30% fat diets were given GC their food intake (a measure of appetite) was significantly reduced as well, indicating that the fruit might act on the body in multiple ways to produce potential weight loss benefits.
