The applicable parts of garcinia are the fruit and rind. Garcinia fruit rind extract, reported to contain 50% hydroxycitric acid (HCA), is theorized to interfere with lipogenesis. The active ingredient HCA is believed to be a competitive inhibitor of ATP-citrate-lyase, the enzyme responsible for converting citrate into acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). This conversion into acetyl-CoA occurs when the energy consumed exceeds the energy requirements of the body. Other researchers think that garcinia inhibits the supply of fatty acids without affecting adipose conversion. Preliminary research suggests that garcinia inhibits the accumulation of lipid droplets in fat cells and thereby reduces lipid levels and decreases lipid accumulation in the liver. The HCA found in garcinia is also theorized to improve exercise endurance by increasing lipid oxidation and decreasing carbohydrate utilization.

Some animal research suggests that HCA might suppress appetite.
