Super CitriMax® is an all-natural, safe and effective fruit extract. Extracted from the South Asian fruit Garcinia cambogia, Super CitriMax® is standardized to 60% (–)-hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been clinically shown to suppress appetite, inibit fat production, increase fat burning and increase weight loss without stimulating the central nervous system.* Super CitriMax® is protected by three U.S. Patents (6,160,172, 6,395,296, 6,875,891) and world-wide patents pending. Super CitriMax® has been determined GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by a group of independent leading toxicologists.*

• Inhibits fat production, while burning fat*
• Reduces body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI)*
• Three times greater than diet and exercise alone*
• Promotes normal cholesterol levels*
• Promotes healthy serotonin levels*
• Provides a good source of calcium

Super CitriMax® works by inhibiting the enzymes that convert carbohydrates into fat. If not utilized for energy, carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body. Super CitriMax® inhibits the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and promotes an increase in the formation of stored energy as glycogen. This also signals the brain to turn off hunger signals. Published peer-reviewed clinical studies show that Super CitriMax® increases 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 mood disorders.

Super CitriMax®  works naturally without stimulating the central nervous system. It is non-habit forming and will not cause sleeplessness, nervousness or rapid heart rate associated with diet stimulants such as caffeine. Super CitriMax® is manufactured under strict laboratory-controlled procedures to ensure optimum potency, purity and efficacy. Super CitriMax® calcium/potassium bound HCA is also more soluble and better absorbed than other HCA products.

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 60% HCA bound to calcium and potassium in a stable, highly bioavailable 100% soluble form. 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.

In a 90-patient, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center and Creighton University School of Pharmacy assessed changes in body weight, lipid profile (triglycerides, LDL, HDL and total cholesterol), serum serotonin levels (a mechanism of appetite control and eating behavior), Body Mass Index (an indicator of healthy body weight), fat metabolites (malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone) and appetite control (food consumption). The study demonstrated that Super CitriMax® is a powerful, all-natural diet aid clinically validated to:

• curb appetite* and reduce food intake*
• burn fat*
• reduce body weight and BMI (three-times greater than diet and exercise alone)*
• maintain normal cholesterol levels*
• promote healthy serotonin levels*

No reported adverse effects on the liver or other organs were reported. Clinical tolerance was evaluated by recording side effects appearing during the trial.

Additional published clinical research has demonstrated that Super CitriMax reduces daily caloric intake by 25%.

Super CitriMax® clinical strength refers to the HCA potency, bioavailability and dosage used in the Super CitriMax® human clinical weight loss study. HCA has been sold as a safe, all-natural diet ingredient for years. . . with mixed results. The reason isn’t really a mystery—all HCA products are not 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 weight loss study has resulted in a new generation diet product like no other.

The recommended clinical strength daily dosage is 1500 mg of Super CitriMax® per serving, three-times per day ½ - 2 hours before meals, or 2700 mg of HCA per day, the dose used in the Super CitriMax® clinical weight loss study. For example, Super CitriMax®, which contains 60% HCA, provides 900 mg HCA per serving of Super CitriMax®.

The recommended satiety daily dose is 500 mg of Super CitriMax® per serving, three times a day.  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 and not the patented calcium/potassium form of HCA (Super CitriMax®).

Super CitriMax® is a nutritional ingredient available in a wide variety of dietary supplements and functional food and beverage products. Products can be found at local health food stores, Wal-Mart, Costco and GNC. Look for the Super CitriMax® logo on the label to be sure it contains the genuine ingredient.
