InterHealth Nutraceuticals, Benicia, CA, has been granted U.S. patent #7,335,651 B2 for its Super CitriMax ingredient, which promotes fat oxidation. In recent human clinical studies, Super CitriMax significantly increased fat burning, demonstrated by the excretion of urinary fat metabolites such as malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone. Super CitriMax is an all-natural weight-loss ingredient that contains standardized levels of (–)-hydroxycitric acid (HCA), an extract from the South Asian fruit Garcinia cambogia, which is bound to essential minerals calcium and potassium. In addition to burning fat, Super CitriMax promotes healthy serum serotonin levels, neuropeptide Y levels, cholesterol levels and body mass index (BMI).
