Improve Digestion: Kokum helps to manage indigestion. The blend of unique chemicals and components in Kokum can help reduce inflammation in the gut and stimulate proper nutrient uptake and digestion of food. This can also help to reduce constipation and diarrhoea, as well as IBS symptoms.

Ayurvedic View: According to Ayurveda, indigestion means the state of an incomplete process of digestion. The main reason for indigestion is aggravated Kapha that causes Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). Taking Kokum helps to improve Agni (digestive fire) and digests the food easily. This is due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties respectively.

Helps Aid Weight Loss: It contains a compound called HCA (Hydroxy citric acid) which acts as an appetite suppressant. It also reduces the conversion of carbohydrates to fats, thus helps in weight management. It inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase, which plays a vital role in the production of fat. By stopping the citrate lyase, Garcinia is thought to slow or block fat production in your body and may reduce blood fats and lower your risk of weight gain.

Ayurvedic View: Kokum is useful in managing weight. Kokum gives a feeling of satiety and reduces craving. This is because it takes time to digest due to its Guru (heavy) nature. It also helps to improve metabolism and reduce Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) which is one of the causes of overweight due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties.

Boost Immunity Naturally: Garcinia is loaded with nutrients that are essential for our body. It has a healthy mixture of B-vitamins, ascorbic acid, manganese, potassium, and dietary fibre. It also has antibacterial and anti-viral properties that make it an excellent herb for boosting immunity.

Improves Heart Health: It is low in calories but rich in dietary fibre. It has zero cholesterol and the presence of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and manganese make it an amazing herb for protecting heart.

Helps in Diabetes Management: Kokum has antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties. The level of certain enzymes that get reduced in case of type 2 diabetes is restored by Kokum. Certain components of Kokum are also involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Therefore, Kokum may be useful in managing diabetes as well as its related complications.

Ayurvedic View: Kokum is useful in managing normal blood sugar level. According to Ayurveda, diabetes is known as Madhumeha which is due to an aggravation of Vata and impaired digestion. Impaired digestion leads to an accumulation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) in the pancreatic cells and impairs the function of insulin. Kokum helps to correct impaired digestion and improve metabolism due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties. This reduces Ama and improves the function of insulin, thus managing the normal blood sugar level.

Aid in Skin Care: It is rich in antioxidants due to which it reduces degeneration of skin cells. It also restores skin elasticity thereby reducing wrinkles and prolonging the effects of ageing. In traditional medicine, Kokum has been used to manage rashes due to skin allergies and also manages burns and chaffed skin.
