HCA, from the rind of the tamarind fruit, may help maintain the calorific process for releasing energy rather than converting the excess into fat.

HCA is best taken 30 minutes before a meal.

Each HCA tablet provides: 750mg Tamarind fruit extract providing HCA (60%) 450mg

Suggested intake: Take 1-2 capsules of HCA half an hour before a meal, up to 3 times a day.

“Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) comes from a Southern Indian fruit called Garcinia cambogia. Although the exact mechanism by which HCA works is not fully understood, it seems that by inhibiting a key enzyme, ATP citrate lyase, HCA may block the conversion of carbohydrates into fat by up to 70% for eight to twelve hours after a meal. As a double bonus, the body’s energy stores (in the form of glycogen) then build up in the liver, until a message is sent to the satiety centre in the brain signalling that it is full. The brain then goes into action and appetite falls. For this reason HCA is ideally taken at least half an hour before a meal. By the time you are ready to eat you will be less hungry.”

Higher Nature state that 'by pre-digesting the Ultra Food FormTM range of nutrients, they ensure that people with food sensitivities or allergies will not react to these supplements. Why? Because food allergies are triggered by long chain proteins and polysaccharides in foods.

In Higher Nature Ultra Food FormTM nutrition supplements these big molecules have been pre-digested and broken down by natural enzymes, making absorption easy, and sensitivity reactions very unlikely.
