Is there a best appetite suppressant?

Almost everyone wants to lose weight, look slim, trim and beautiful. Unfortunately, most people tend to seek the easy way towards weight loss- everyone wants a drug or a health supplement to do the work for them. More importantly, everyone wants the results immediately!

The one health supplement that has been hyped up to be the best appetite suppressant is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). Hydroxycitric acid is found in the rind of the fruit tree, garcinia Cambogia, a tree that is native to many parts of SE Asia. In this part of the world, Garcinia has been used for centuries both as a flavoring agent and as food preservative. People who have used extracts of this plant in cooking claim that it makes them feel full and avoids over eating. These anecdotal reports did not go unnoticed by the enterprising weight loss and soon, extracts of Garcinia were available in every health food store by the 1980s. 

The manufacturers of hydroxycut have based all their evidence on experiments done on rats in the 1970s. In these experiments when rats were given massive amount of hydroxycut, they ate less and lost weight. Well, since then hydroxycut has been marketed as HCA, Citrimax, Super Citrimax, citrin and super garcinia as a weight loss agent for humans. Today, people spend millions of dollars on hydroxycut with the hope that they will lose weight and look sexy again.
