Specifications

Botanical identityGarcinia gummi-gutta (L.) N.Robson, family Clusiaceae; trade synonym Garcinia cambogia. Malabar tamarind or kudampuli. Dried fruit rind (pericarp) is the extracted part.
Marker chemistry(-)-Hydroxycitric acid, IUPAC 1,2-dihydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid. C6H8O8, MW 208.12, CAS 6205-14-7. Assayed by HPLC, never by titration.
Fill standardisationExtract at NLT 50% or NLT 60% HCA by HPLC; 65% on request. Label the basis as HCA free acid, not total organic acid, which titration methods overstate.
Capsule strengths500 mg or 750 mg of extract per capsule as standard. Size 0 (0.67 mL) carries 500 mg; size 00 (0.95 mL) carries 750 mg plus excipients. Other strengths to brief.
Salt form optionsPotassium-calcium double salt, water soluble and the usual capsule choice, or free-acid and lactone grade. A 95% HCA calcium salt line is available for low-fill formats.
Capsule shellHypromellose (HPMC) as standard: vegan, vegetarian, no animal input. Bovine gelatin shell offered on request. Porcine gelatin is not used on this line.
ExcipientsMicrocrystalline cellulose, maize maltodextrin, colloidal silicon dioxide and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. Full quantitative formula issued with the first batch.
Allergen declarationNo milk, egg, soy, fish, crustacean, nut, peanut, sesame or gluten input; maltodextrin is maize-derived, not wheat. Lot-specific cross-contact statement ships with each batch.
Dietary and origin statusHPMC-shell capsules are vegan, vegetarian and non-GMO, free of bovine and porcine material. The gelatin-shell option is bovine and is neither vegan nor vegetarian.
Finished-product limitsAverage fill weight within 5%, individual capsules within 7.5%. Disintegration NMT 30 minutes in water at 37 C. Loss on drying of the fill NMT 5.0%.
Heavy metals and residuesLead NMT 3.0 ppm, arsenic NMT 1.0 ppm, cadmium NMT 1.0 ppm, mercury NMT 0.1 ppm on the filled capsule. Pesticide residues to EU Reg. 396/2005 MRLs on request.
Microbiology and mycotoxinsTotal plate count NMT 10,000 cfu/g; yeast and mould NMT 500 cfu/g; E. coli, Salmonella and S. aureus absent. Aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins tested on the extract.
Shelf life and storage24 months from manufacture in the sealed primary pack below 25 C at NMT 60% RH, protected from light. HCA salts are hygroscopic - keep desiccant in every jar.
HS code21069099 (India ITC-HS) for the encapsulated finished supplement. The bulk extract on its own goes to 13021919. See the classification note.
Garcinia Cambogia Capsules are the finished dosage form of the fruit-rind extract, not the bulk powder sold by the drum. Each capsule carries a measured fill of Garcinia gummi-gutta (L.) N.Robson rind extract standardised to 50% or 60% (-)-hydroxycitric acid by HPLC, so the brand owner works from a fixed milligram figure per capsule rather than a percentage on a drum label. Hydroxycitric acid is a defined organic acid, C6H8O8, MW 208.12, CAS 6205-14-7, and the assay has to be run by HPLC on the free acid; titration reads total organic acid and flatters the result, which is the single most common way a garcinia specification is misread across a purchase order. The fill can be the water-soluble potassium-calcium double salt, which handles and dissolves cleanly, or the free-acid and lactone grade where the buyer's own monograph calls for it. The build is where a capsule programme is won or lost. The default shell is hypromellose, which makes the finished article vegan, vegetarian and free of any bovine or porcine input; a bovine gelatin shell is available on request and is neither vegan nor vegetarian, so the two versions must never share a label or a batch record. Excipients are microcrystalline cellulose, maize maltodextrin, colloidal silicon dioxide and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. The maltodextrin is maize, not wheat, so there is no gluten input, and there is no milk, egg, soy, fish, crustacean, nut, peanut or sesame material anywhere in the formula. Standard strengths are 500 mg of extract in a size 0 shell (0.67 mL) and 750 mg in a size 00 (0.95 mL); other strengths, capsule counts, shell colours and print are built to brief. Thovek supplies the composition and the analytical package: HCA by HPLC, fill-weight uniformity, disintegration, heavy metals, aflatoxins and full microbiology on every lot, with a lot-specific allergen and cross-contact statement. What Thovek does not supply is a claim. No statement about appetite, body weight or metabolism is made here, and the brand owner is responsible for substantiating whatever it prints against the rules of the market it sells into. Orders run from pilot batches through to full commercial campaigns, in blisters, HDPE jars, or bulk unpacked capsules for a buyer filling and packing on its own line.
