Garcinia cambogia extract

Garcinia cambogia extract (CAS 90045-23-1), also known as Brindleberry Extract, is derived from the fruit rind of the tropical Garcinia cambogia tree and standardized primarily for its hydroxycitric acid (HCA) content.

It is sourced by formulators and buyers across nutraceutical, food, and cosmetic supply chains for its antioxidant activity and metabolic support positioning. In dietary supplement manufacturing, it is used as the active ingredient.

The extract is typically used in weight management capsules, tablets, and softgels, standardized to 50–60% HCA. Functional food and beverage producers incorporate it into slimming teas and meal replacement powders.

It is also found in fortified snack formats targeting appetite control claims. Cosmetic formulators use it in topical anti-aging and firming preparations, where its antioxidant profile supports skin protection positioning.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compounders blend it into combination formulas alongside chromium or green tea extract for metabolic health applications. The extract is supplied as a fine powder or spray-dried granule.

HCA standardization levels typically ranging from 50% to 60% are most commercially prevalent. Food-grade and supplement-grade specifications are standard, with buyers commonly requesting certificates of analysis.

These certificates confirm HCA content, heavy metal limits, and microbial compliance. Bulk supply is available in kilogram and metric ton quantities to suit both small-batch formulators and large-scale manufacturers.
