Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a derivative of citric acid that is found in a variety of tropical plants including Garcinia cambogia and Hibiscus subdariffa. HCA have the ability for the modulation of lipid metabolism. HCA is an ingredient in some weight loss products and dietary supplements. HCA supplementation could reduce the conversion of carbohydrate to fat and increase glycogen storage in the liver, facilitating weight loss, and enhancing endurance capacity.
