2. Description of the Related Art HCA is a substance very similar to citric acid, but differs in chemical properties due to slight structural differences, and is known to have an obesity inhibitory action from its scientific properties. Carbohydrates taken into the human body are consumed in the liver for energy production, while excess carbohydrates are synthesized and accumulated in body fat. Strongly binds to the enzyme that decomposes citric acid to acetyl-CoA and inhibits the action of that enzyme.
Body fat synthesis is not performed. At the same time, the production of blood cholesterol is also inhibited. In addition, carbohydrates are present in blood as blood sugar, and when blood sugar is lowered, hunger is felt, but when carbohydrate is not synthesized into body fat as described above, blood sugar decreases slowly, so it is difficult to feel hunger. Appetite is suppressed. HCA inhibits the synthesis of body fat as described above,
Since it has effects such as suppression of appetite and promotion of decomposition of body fat, obesity can be prevented or suppressed by ingesting it. Since the inhibition of body fat production and suppression of appetite by HCA are extremely natural, side effects of the nervous system and development of tolerance, such as central nervous system appetite suppressants (such as amphetamines), occur. Absent.

As is clear from the results shown in Table 1 and FIG.
The second test plot is more third than the first test plot.
In the test group, the average weight gain of the rat group was smaller in each of the fourth test group than in the third test group.
In the first test section and the second test section, and in the third test section and the fourth test section, the latter group has much smaller weight gain in the rat group. This indicates that the third and fourth test plots
It is recognized that the obesity-suppressing effect of A was remarkably exhibited.

Further, as is apparent from FIG. 1, when the weight gain of the rats in the third test group and the fourth test group were compared, HCA and HCA were higher than those in the third test group in which only HCA was added to the base diet. In the fourth test group to which malic acid was added,
The rate of weight gain in the rat group is small, and the difference in weight gain in the rat group between the two groups tends to increase over time. From this, it is clear that an obesity inhibitor containing HCA and malic acid as active ingredients has an improved obesity inhibitory effect over an obesity inhibitor containing only HCA as an active ingredient. Is thought to promote the digestion and absorption of HCA.
