Garcinia – Its Proposed Benefits and Side Effects
Garcinia Cambogia, which is ambiguously called “monkey fruit,” belongs to the plant genus of sap trees, mangosteens, or garcinias. This plant or small tree is a native to Asia, Australia, and other tropical regions of southern Africa. Garcinia is a small pumpkin-shaped fruit. The fruit came into limelight when it was highlighted that the key ingredient in its rind is hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which is argued to help certain people lose weight.
