Taking garcinia extract practically forces you to lose weight by taking control of how often your body is permitted to form fat cells. Fat cell production comes to a screeching halt while the HCA in this powerful supplement goes to work burning any current fat. We couldn’t be happier that this breakthrough was discovered. But because it was and because it’s so powerful, there people out there just trying to ride the money train.

Some sellers of garcinia cambogia extract are downright scammers. Some simply are affiliates that don’t understand they’re feeding innocent people to the prior. And some aren’t trying to scam anyone, but really couldn’t care less about the quality of their product as long as they’re making money. So another day, another one of our reviews. This time we’re talking about a brand of garcinia that we had never heard of before. It’s called Live Tru Nutrition and boy are there some glaring red flags on this one.

Your Information is NOT SECURE

Let’s start from the end, because, we don’t see this very often and it’s scary they’d be gathering ANY of your personal information this way. If you click through to the order page, you’ll notice that it’s not secure. I thought maybe it would be after you clicked through again, but nope. Sure, you’re taken to Paypal (the only option for payment) for the final payment processing and it’s secure. But your name, email, phone and personal address are all entered on their site, which is NOT secure.

No Refund Details

This site seems barely put together with the bare essentials – and not even that. I think this is the first site we’ve reviewed that doesn’t have ANY terms & conditions, a privacy policy… nothing. And no, they don’t give you any details about their refund policy. That is, if they accept returns or offer refunds. We don’t know. They give NO indication about it.

There doesn’t appear to be any company or information about who sells this, so how can you trust buying it??

Costs TOO Much

So now we know you’re shopping around to buy from a seller that has not even provided the basic legal pages any site should have, especially one where money exchanges hands. And now they want to charge you more than what any garcinia product should cost. It shouldn’t cost more than $30. They’re selling it for $39.00.

On top of that, you aren’t getting very much bang for the buck. At 800mg per capsule and basically $40 per bottle, you’re getting a mere 1200mg per dollar spent.

At first glance, SlimScience looks like an extremely professional, high quality garcinia cambogia extract. They tout being the ones behind many leading health supplements that are featured at GNC. However, we didn’t just say “Ok, wow, sounds good to me…” You should know us better than that by now. Especially if you stay updated with our review chart.

Instead, we spent a little time going through the site and trying to see what’s what in regards to the common criteria that we rate garcinia supplements on. In the end, they actually don’t stack up well at all. Keep reading to find out…

Super Tricky Free Trial Gimmick

Gotta admit. We were surprised that a company seemingly so professional would resort to such tactics. But that makes you realize that you can’t just take people’s word for what they say. On the front page, there is no order button. The only option you have is to see if you “qualify” for a 14-day free trial.

This is just a sneaky marketing trick playing on your subconscious. You see, your brain will automatically be semi-curious to see if you qualify. You’re tempted and drawn into filling out the form. Of course, everyone qualifies. Every single person who fills out that inquiry form will qualify. They just want it to seem like you’re “lucky!”.

Click the little terms link in the fine print at the bottom of the site and have a little read. You’ll find out that if you don’t cancel in time, you’re locked into an auto-ship subscription program that will ship you a new supply of pills each and every month. And guess what? This is the most expensive HCA extract we’ve found yet.

**Update: The above information was written when we reviewed the page that sits pretty at the top of the paid search results advertising area on Google. That ad leads to a special trial offer. However, we’ve recently went back to look at their main site and guess what? If you order directly from their main site, one bottle will cost you about $15 less than if you fell for the trial offer!

Seriously? Crazily Over-Priced Product

We always warn that garcinia extract should never run more than $30 or so. It’s just a simple fact of the matter that it does NOT cost that much to produce a quality garcinia supplement that’s all natural and effective. But some companies mark prices way up to make as much money as they can as fast as they can. And SlimScience has marked it up on beyond belief. For a single bottle, you will pay $74.98! Yep, so if you don’t cancel your “trial” in time, you’ll be billed $74.98 then billed that monthly.

**Update: If you go straight to their site to order a single bottle, you pay $59.99

Important Ingredient Information Completely Missing

Any supplier of a garcinia cambogia product should clearly show you how much HCA it has. Why? Any good one will have at least 50% HCA. If it doesn’t, then it’s not going to work like it should. HCA is the vital ingredient that makes it so powerful. But SlimScience doesn’t tell you how much HCA is in it. In fact, they don’t show you the label at all. They want you to take their word for what’s in it. Speaking of ingredients, they have quite a few extra ingredients. They may have been shown beneficial on their own, but just how extensively have they been tested when combined with HCA extract? Who knows. They don’t tell you about that part.

**Update: This information was completely missing on the trial offer page. They do show the label on their main site if you go directly to it. However, there’s still no mention on the percentage of HCA this supplement contains compared to other ingredients.

Get Ready to Jump through Hoops for Returns

They say there’s a money back guarantee and there may well be. But upon reading the fine print, here’s what we found out for you.

If you are on their auto-ship subscription and decide to return the product, you can do so even if it’s been opened. But you’ll have to get a return authorization number from them, pay for the shipment back to the company and hope it arrives in time.

If you buy a single bottle (although we couldn’t find an option to do that), then you can NOT return an opened package. It must be unopened and you still have to get a return authorization number as well as pay for shipping the product back.

Conclusion

Don’t fall for illusions. This is an extremely professional site that would easily fool others, but we know that since you’re here doing your own research you won’t fall for it. The infamous free trial gimmick to get you into a subscription, the ridiculously high price, keeping important ingredient information from you then making you jump through hoops to get a refund? It’s pretty clear… skip SlimScience, save money and deal with someone more reputable.

Garcinia cambogia transforms your boy into a fat burning machine by burning current fat, while also preventing the formation of new fat cells. Because it’s so powerful, there are tons of websites popping up claiming they have the best garcinia extract. But you have to be careful. You can’t trust some of these guys. While we didn’t find some of the glaring signs of a scam with Global Health Ideas Garcinia (GHI), we do want you to be aware they’re far from the best you can do.

The good points? They clearly don’t offer free bottles, trials or enroll you in an auto-shop subscription program. This is a very common tactic that you should never fall for. They have 60% HCA, which is good. But if you dig closer, you’ll see that this is still not a very good deal… as is the case with many brands (learn more about them here).

Not Much Bang for Your Buck!

Don’t be fooled just because they do have a good amount of HCA in their product and claim 1000mg. If you look closer, you’ll see that each bottle comes with 60 capsules, but the serving size is two capsules. That means each capsule is 500mg. Considering the price, that means you’re getting a mere 789mg per dollar. Take a look at our review chart here and you’ll see that’s far from the best deal you can get.

They Want Too Much $$$

Just going by the price alone though, we could have told you this wasn’t going to be a great deal. As Dr. Oz said on his show, garcinia is cheap and should be affordable for everyone. In our findings, considering ingredient sourcing and quality manufacturing right here in the U.S. Under good manufacturing processing (GMP) – a good product can be had for merely $30 or less. GHI charges nearly $10 more than that for no reason. You can get a stronger supplement and pay less.

Returns Must be AUTHORIZED

GHI is far from being the minority when it comes to this refund policy. Regardless, we don’t like it and we’re sure you won’t either. If you’re going to offer an iron clad money back guarantee then you shouldn’t have to get a green light from the company to return it. In order to get any type of refund you will have to get in touch with them for a return authorization number.

Check out our review of other brands.

When you start shopping for garcinia cambogia, you’ll quickly realize just how many different brands there are to choose from. Choose carefully, though. Many sellers can’t be trusted. You could end up with an inferior product, pay double what you should or even tricked into costly subscription programs that are near-impossible to get out of. See our review of popular brands to see which ones are more likely to do this.

A lot of the sellers you find aren’t real companies at all, but simply affiliates who get paid a commission to send buyers. They pop up over night and will normally be completely gone within weeks – leaving you no way of contacting them. One brand that we recommend staying away from is Natural Nutrition Labs. There are just too many questions…

Who’s Actually Behind this Product??

We’ve been digging, but have yet to be able to answer that question. It’s pretty suspicious when you can’t find a single bit of information, let alone an official website of a “company”. If you search for Natural Nutrition Labs, you’ll probably find links to Amazon. That’s fine. Lots of sellers are starting to offer products through Amazon for the security and peace of mind for consumers. But you should be able to find out SOMETHING about the company SOMEWHERE. We find it really odd that we can’t find a website or any type of business listing for them.

Why Sell So MANY Garcinia Products?

If you look at their store on Amazon, you’ll see that they not only sell “their” brand, but also sell half a dozen others… some of which I see are ones previously reviewed here on FoodSecurity. That makes you wonder, right? Some of the brands they sell are ones we have already recommended staying away from. It seems they’re simply offering anything and everything under the sun just to make money. They don’t really care if it’s a quality product or not.

HUGE Price Differences

We also found this product being sold on the Sear’s website. It’s sold under the name of someone called OnlineWholeSale. Yet, if you were to land on the Sear’s site and buy it, you’d pay over $20 more than if you ordered it on Amazon. HOW can there be such a price difference on the same exact product? On Amazon it costs $35. On Sears you’ll pay $57.75 This makes us wonder, again, WHO actually makes this? What company is behind it?

You Gotta Take SIX PILLS PER DAY!

They say that their product is better than others, because it’s more powerful. How is that so when you have to take six pills per day to get the best results? That’s way too many pills to have to take.
