Description

Calcium (-)-Hydroxycitrate (150 Mg) is a standardized calcium salt of (-)-Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), a compound naturally derived from the fruit rind of Garcinia cambogia. This high-purity ingredient is critical for formulators seeking a reliable, bioavailable source of HCA for dietary supplements and functional foods. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food industries to support weight management and metabolic health formulations.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: A key active ingredient in capsules, tablets, and softgels formulated for weight management and appetite control.
• Functional Foods & Beverages: Incorporated into health drinks, meal replacement shakes, and fortified food products to enhance metabolic benefits.
• Sports Nutrition: Used in pre-workout and post-workout formulations aimed at supporting energy metabolism and lean body composition.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical compounds targeting metabolic pathways.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and pharmacological studies investigating lipid metabolism, citrate lyase inhibition, and related metabolic processes.
