In the early 1990s, Indfrag diversified and expanded into other botanical extracts used in Health care. The first product was Garcinia which is even today a very important ingredient for weight management.

The extract is derived from the dried fruit of the Garcinia Cambogia tree which is found in the forests of South India and South East Asia. The main active ingredient is (-) Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA).

HCA is a naturally occurring compound, hence it is safe to use. In addition to this it does not act upon the Central Nervous System. This means that it is not a stimulant and does not interfere with normal sleep cycles.
