Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium salt monohydrate is a water-soluble potassium salt form of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), derived primarily from the fruit rinds of Garcinia cambogia. HCA is known for its potential effects on weight management and appetite suppression. This particular salt form enhances the bioavailability of hydroxycitric acid, making it more effective for dietary supplements aimed at weight loss. It works by inhibiting the enzyme ATP-citrate lyase, which is involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, thereby potentially reducing fat accumulation.
