Citrimax is an ingredient of a wide variety of weight-loss supplements, including Metabolife. Citrimax is extracted from the Garcinia cambogia fruit found in South Asia and used for both appetite suppression and weight loss. Before using any supplement, please discuss options with your health care professional.
