Answering: Does Carcinia Cambogia Work For Weight Loss

By Stacey Burt


There are lots of herbal supplements on the market today. Both reputable and fly-by-night companies are offering them, so consumers need to be educated on the dangers of poorly-made supplements and the safety and effectiveness of ones produced by reputable manufacturers. Since research and personal testimony reveals that the answer to 'does carcinia cambogia work' is 'Yes', it's worth the effort to find a safe and effective product.

People spend millions on health supplements annually, and one of the biggest categories is weight loss. Fads come and go with bewildering frequency. However, garcinia, which has been used for centuries in its native lands, is no fad. This evergreen tree, which produces fruit known as mangosteen, is well known in tropical areas of India, Asia, Polynesia, and Australia.

Even Americans have used this herb for years. Its popularity recently exploded after a television doctor touted its fat-burning and weight-loss benefits. Unlike other supplements similarly endorsed, this herb has kept its expanded market niche as people try it and see results.

Studies done with animals show that Garcinia has a marked effect on fat burning, appetite suppression, and weight loss. Although results of human trials are mixed, people who have tried the herb in an effective formula are enthusiastic about the benefits they have seen. Sales of the supplement in natural health stores have remained strong.

Consumers should know that it's 'buyer beware' in the health industry, especially when internet vendors are included. Many third-party evaluations have shown that products often contain less of a beneficial herb, vitamin, mineral, or other health aid than is advertised on the label. A high price is no guarantee of quality; often only the advertising hype is effective. Consumers should look for third-party evaluations and know the track record of the manufacturers of products they buy.

The active ingredient in Garcinia, as far as scientists have determined, is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). It seems to work by inhibiting the action of an enzyme which enables the body to store carbohydrates as fat. Instead, the body burns the calories for energy, which makes people feel better and may help them exercise more. Combining exercise with Garcinia intake shows better and faster results than either the supplement or the exercise alone. The herb stabilizes blood sugar levels and may boost production of serotonin, the 'feel good' hormone. It helps burn stubborn belly fat.

Some formulas contain minerals like calcium or potassium. Opinions vary as to the benefits of adding other substances to Garcinia. Expert advice says that a supplement should contain at least sixty percent HCA to be effective. The suggested dosage is 1,500 to 1,600 milligrams daily.

Customer reviews are one way to evaluate a company or product. Make sure they are not really cleverly disguised advertisements. Many companies have a good track record. Being able to contact a live customer service representative is one good sign. For safety and to get good results, try to ascertain that a product is properly formulated, effective, and good value for the price.
