CitriMax® Questions

What is CitriMax®?

CitriMax® and new patented, higher potency Super CitriMax®  are all-natural, safe and effective plant extracts used as diet ingredients. Extracted from the South Asian fruit Garcinia cambogia, CitriMax® and Super CitriMax® contain standardized levels of (-)hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been clinically shown to suppress appetite and inhibit fat production, without stimulating the central nervous system.*

What does CitriMax® do?

  • Helps control appetite*
  • Inhibits fat synthesis*
  • Helps promote healthy weight control*

How does CitriMax® work?

CitriMax® and new patented, higher potency Super CitriMax® work by inhibiting the enzymes that convert carbohydrates into fat. If not utilized for energy, carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body. CitriMax® and Super CitriMax® inhibit the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and promote an increase in the formation of stored energy as glycogen. This also signals the brain to turn off hunger signals. New studies show that clinical strength doses of Super CitriMax® actually increase fat oxidation ("burning"), as well as brain serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep and appetite control, which may help address many of the emotional issues overweight people face, including binge-eating and depression. No other HCA product has been shown to do this.

How is CitriMax® different?

CitriMax® and new patented, higher potency Super CitriMax®  work naturally without stimulating the central nervous system. They are also non-habit forming and will not cause sleeplessness, nervousness or rapid heart rate associated with diet stimulants such as Ma-Huang (ephedra) or caffeine. CitriMax® and Super CitriMax® are manufactured under strict laboratory-controlled procedures to ensure optimum potency, purity and efficacy. They are also more soluble and better absorbed than other HCA products, and are low in HCA lactone, a less effective form of HCA found in many generic HCA products.

What is the difference between CitriMax® and Super CitriMax®?

CitriMax® is InterHealth's original HCA diet ingredient introduced in 1994. Standardized to 50% (-)hydroxycitric acid, regular CitriMax® consists of HCA bound to calcium in a stable ~70% soluble form. Super CitriMax® consists of HCA bound to calcium and potassium in a stable, highly bioavailable 100% soluble form standardized to 60% (-)hydroxycitric acid (patent-pending). In contrast, most HCA ingredients contain 50% HCA, are less than 50% soluble and less bioavailable than Super CitriMax®. As an added bonus, the potassium in Super CitriMax® is an important mineral necessary for energy production and fat metabolism. Super CitriMax® is also tasteless, colorless and odorless in solution, which makes it well suited for use in food and beverage products.

What did the Super CitriMax® human clinical studies show?

Clinical Study-Weight Loss Results

In two, 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies, researchers have shown that c linical strength doses of Super CitriMax® is a powerful all-natural diet aid clinically proven to:

  • Curb appetite *
  • Burn fat *
  • Reduce body weight (3-times greater than diet and exercise alone)*
  • Maintain healthy cholesterol levels*

What does Super CitriMax® Clinical Strength mean?

Super CitriMax® Clinical Strength refers to the HCA potency, bioavailability and dosage used in the Super CitriMax® human clinical study. HCA has been sold as a safe, all-natural diet ingredient for years. . . with mixed results. The reason isn't really a mystery-not all HCA products are created equal. They vary according to potency, bioavailability and dosage, each of which is critical to effectiveness. Taken together, the 60% HCA potency, superior bioavailability and clinically tested doses used in the Super CitriMax® clinical study has resulted in a new generation diet product like no other.new Super CitriMax® Clinical Strength, a powerful new patent-pending diet ingredient from InterHealth Nutraceuticals.

How much CitriMax®/Super CitriMax® should I take?

The recommended minimum adult daily dosage is 1500 milligrams HCA per day, split into three doses of 500 milligrams 30-60 minutes before meals. For best results, 2700 milligrams HCA per day, split into three doses of 900 milligrams 30-60 minutes before meals (the dose used in the Super CitriMax® Clinical Study) is recommended and may be safely taken. (Note: Recommended dose is for HCA, not milligrams of CitriMax®. For example, Super CitriMax®, which contains 60% HCA, provides 600 milligrams HCA per gram of Super CitriMax®. Thus, a daily dose of 2700 milligrams HCA requires 4500 milligrams Super CitriMax®. Don't be fooled by products labeled as Garcinia cambogia extract standardized for (-)hydroxycitric acid, which label the amount of Garcinia, not the active (-) hydroxycitric acid. These products typically contain ineffective levels of HCA.) For additional information on dosing, follow manufacturers recommended use printed on the label and/or talk to your healthcare professional.
