Citrimax combines a concentrated extract from the fruit of the garcinia combogia tree with the trace mineral chromium. The active ingredient of this fruit, (-) hydroxycitric acid (HCA), has been standardized for maximum potency. Citrimax utilizes both chromemate and chromium picolinate for broad spectrum chromium supplementation. HCA has been shown to curb appetite in numerous animal studies. Clinical trials need to be conducted to determine its effects, if any, in humans. When taken in conjunction with the maximum metabolism weight loss plan, body fat may be reduced.
