A combination of fermented apple juice and an extract from a tropical fruit, this blend is marketed as a dietary supplement. The apple derivative provides acetic acid, while the fruit extract is a source of hydroxycitric acid (HCA). These components are believed by some to potentially influence metabolism and appetite.
Proponents suggest that the acetic acid in the apple component may contribute to blood sugar regulation and weight management. Similarly, HCA from the fruit extract is often associated with appetite suppression and the inhibition of fat production. Historically, both ingredients have been individually explored for their potential health properties, leading to their combined use in various formulations.
