HCA is actually a salt derived from the rind of dried fruit, in particular the Southeast Asian plants

joint and stomach problems. It"s sold in drug stores and supplement stores as HCA, brindleberry or
brindal berry and garcinia, and is the primary ingredient in diet products with names like Citrilite,

an easily digestible form of protein. It contains high levels of the amino acid cysteine. And having
more muscle helps with weight loss too.

A concentrated soluble fiber derived from yeasts, mushrooms, and algae, beta-glucans come in many
forms but all have the effect of lowering cholesterol with the additional benefits of weight loss and
helping control diabetes.
