Be Skeptical of These Other Garcinia Brands

The following sellers don’t necessarily rate their own full review at the moment, but we wanted to tell you about them and any suspicious activity we found. As we find out more, we will continue adding full reviews to keep you informed. If you’d like, you can see our full reviews on other brands here.

Activa Naturals: If you look only at the price, this would seem like a good deal. However, there are two things to point out on this one. First, it’s not a very good deal – It’s deceptive making you think it’s powerful with 60% HCA, but with only 500mg per capsule (60 capsules), you’re getting a mere 1500mg per dollar. On top of that, they’ve added hypromellose, cellulose and other fillers!

Secondly, we didn’t like this statement at all: “Since this is a natural weight loss product, you need to take garcinia for at least 60 days before you see any results”. This is absurd. This is saying that basically, any natural supplement needs a minimum of 60 days to start giving any results at all? Nonsense. We’ve seen it work much faster than that. Sure, you should be in full swing and getting maximum benefits of your body adjusted to it by then. But you very likely can see results before this.

Dynamic Nutrition: This one doesn’t look too shabby. The price isn’t too bad and you’re getting 1800mg per dollar – not great, but certainly better than many we’ve looked at. The confusing thing and what makes us question this seller is the fact that on Amazon it’s one price. But someone else is selling the exact thing on Sears for nearly double that amount. Who’s the true seller here? Is there a real company? We haven’t found any company website or information about the true person or company behind this brand and that, well, that’s just plain suspicious.

Lean: Overall this product doesn’t look too bad at first glance. But things aren’t always what they seem. For instance, if you look at their site, there’s barely any real information there about the Lifestyle Research Labs product or company. Instead, it simply refers you to Amazon to buy. I don’t know about you, but I like to know what I’m buying and who I’m buying it from.

Secondly, you’ll notice that they emphasize that you don’t have to eat right or exercise (at all). That’s their main sales message and I simply can’t say how much this concerns me. Any supplement will work better and give the best results with some effort, no matter how small it may be.

And lastly, look at the reviews! Some of the comments left are straight out claiming their product or company is a scam. Sure, everyone gets bad reviews now and then which may or may not be any fault of their own. I’ve seen many times people leave not-so-stellar reviews only to find out they didn’t follow the directions on how to use it. But to have multiple people straight up call you a scam – that’s a red flag.

Revo Cure: This is another one I’m skeptical of because there is NO information about them online or any official site I could find. On top of that, it costs way too much. Nearly $45 to be exact. And you get a measly 1000mg per dollar. The biggest downside? You have no idea who you’re really buying from. There’s no website, no contact information should you need to get in touch, nothing… all you can do is contact Amazon. And do you really think Amazon knows about every single product sold on their site? Do you think they know this specific product inside and out and can help you with questions or problems? No.

Whole Body Garcinia Cambogia

wholebodypriceTrying to find a weight loss supplement that actually works can seem like an uphill battle these days. Even with garcinia cambogia. Yes, it’s a very powerful fat burner. But all brands aren’t created equal. So how do you know if something’s worth buying? There are a few things to look for right off the bat, including the following: If they offer a free trial or a free bottle, then stay away. For more information on this read our guide to buying garcinia here. If they don’t give you a chance to clearly view the product label before ordering (or if they make you fill out a form with your personal information before looking at it) then stay away. Any reputable brand will make sure the label is clearly viewable right from the start. Any garcinia extract worth buying will have at least 50% HCA. So if it doesn’t have that at a bare minimum stay away. This goes hand in hand with being able to view the label and the ingredients. If you see them advertised everywhere and sold by half a dozen different places or more, stay away. Many of the shady sellers will go out of their way and spend as much as possible to advertise. If it were truly a good brand, don’t you think their customers would be telling everyone for them? If their website doesn’t look professional or it looks like a 3rd grader wrote the text for the site, stay away. If you can’t verify their return policy, stay away. Lots of the time, there will be a “money back guarantee”. But truth is you’ll have a heck of a time with getting return authorization numbers, paying shipping to send it back, pay restocking fees or even not be able to return an open bottle! One of the best things about garcinia is that it is affordable. You shouldn’t need to spend more than about $30 for a month’s supply. However, we’ve found some selling it for double that price. Check and see what your money’s actually buying. How many milligrams per dollar are you getting? You can get the simple formula for determining this here. So how does Whole Body Garcinia stack up? Let’s look…

  • Free trial? No, that’s a good thing.
  • Can you view the label? Yes, that’s a good thing.
  • Amount of HCA? 60%, that’s a good thing.
  • Advertised everywhere? Not too bad here. Haven’t seen it plastered everywhere and there don’t appear to be dozens of websites selling it.
  • Professional site? Yep, that’s a good thing.
  • Price? $44.99 for a single bottle. Not such a good thing.
  • MG per dollar? Barely over 1000mg per dollar.

Conclusion

Overall, this brand doesn’t look too shabby. However, it’s clearly not the best deal you can get on garcinia. See reviews of other garcinia cambogia brands.

Pure Garcinia Cambogia

I wouldn’t blame you a bit to not be convinced when you hear about a new weight loss supplement that helps you lose lots of weight fast without any extra work on your part at all. There have been so many products in this industry that never lived up to their claims, and there continue to be new ones all the time. However, Garcinia Cambogia seems to be the one that does live up to the claims Dr. Oz was so excited about it when he featured it on his show TWICE. But….

Many manufacturers describe their product as pure, and they may be. But in this post, I’m specifically talking about the BRAND name “Pure Garcinia Cambogia”

You can read reviews on other brands here.

The BRAND name “Pure” – not a good buy

nothanks
Following the endorsement by Dr Oz many brands and many suppliers have sprung up to choose from. One of them has chosen to use “Pure” as their brand name. That is the one we are talking about here. There is nothing wrong with a product that is pure – meaning, no fillers – just Garcinia Cambogia extract.

All the different brands of Garcinia are not all created equal. The products aren’t equal, the customer support isn’t equal, the companies aren’t equal. There are some really bad apples out there and one in point is “Pure Garcinia Cambogia”. Exactly what makes me say that so blatantly? Keep reading…

Costs Way Too Much

pure-garcinia-expensiveOne of the great things about garcnia, well other than the fact that it will burn fat for you pretty much on autopilot, is that it’s cheap. It’s not like many of the other products in the weight loss industry that can wipe you out $50, $60 or even $99 in one swipe. Garcinia shouldn’t run you more than $30 at very most. However, the Pure Garcinia we looked at will set you back more than that. Almost $50 to be exact.

The deceitful “Free Trial” scam

pure-no-ingredients
This is another brand that uses the lure of “free trial” to trick people. They take your credit card number supposedly just to cover shipping charges, but victims don’t ever see the small print at the bottom of one of the pages that signs them up for monthly shipments. And they start the shipments just days after you get the “free trial”, so you don’t ever have a chance to cancel even if you do know you were signed up for the subscription.

Another Brand that Hides Ingredients from You!

We say it over and over it again, but it really is that important. Never buy a supplement if you can’t check the label and verify its ingredients beforehand. Unfortunately, there are plenty of suppliers out there who expect you to be a chump and hit the order button without ever looking to see what’s really in it. They love it, because many times they know that their product doesn’t live up to the quality standards it should. Pure is one of them.

Pure, Cheesy Marketing Tactics to Push You into Ordering

We’ve seen this several times. Some marketers are pretty clever. With Pure, they put a nice little notification along the top of the site about how garcinia is sold out in most stores, but you “can still get it online!” True, it might be sold out in some stores. But they’re trying to use scarcity to get you to push the buy button.

Conclusion

Pure is one of the garcinia extracts that we caution you to steer clear of. You’re paying much more than you really should and you don’t even know what you’re buying until your order arrives at your doorstep. Then it may be too late. We’ve heard horror stories on getting refunds, but we haven’t test it with them yet. Play it safe – don’t buy it.

Everyday people get scammed – especially online and especially in the weight loss industry. Hopefully our posts on these products will help alleviate that to the extent possible. Any time you’re buying supplements, you really need to ensure you read the label so you know what you’re going to be introducing to your body. In the case of garcinia, you want to ensure it has 50% HCA at a minimum.

wwrecommend

garciniabanner270613If you’re wanting to buy an HCA extract, there’s only one brand we’ve found that we hands down are confident enough in recommending and that’s this garcinia extract. We’ve been researching this supplement for quite a while now and this is by far the best one we’ve found. You can find it on Amazon, but we’ve noticed they don’t always have the discount on there like they do on Alive’s website.

Live Tru Garcinia Cambogia

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.

notsecureYour 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.

norefundsNo 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??

RIPPEDOFFCosts 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.

SlimScience Garcinia Cambogia

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

SLIMTRICKS

 

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.

GHI Garcinia Cambogia

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).

GHI-BANG-FOR-BUCKNot 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.

GHI-FINE-PRINTReturns 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.

Some of the most common things that should make you think twice about a seller are: product doesn’t contain at least 50% HCA, they offer a free trial bottle, they don’t show you the label in a clear format so you can read it before buying, they require you to jump through hoops for a refund (check the fine print!). wwrecommend garciniabanner270613

We look at each one of the points above when reviewing brands of garcinia. But we don’t stop there. We dig into the site, the company, their advertising habits, the fine print… And up to this point we’ve only found one we can say we 100% trust and recommend: NewLifeBotanicals. You can only find this brand in one of two places. Either from AlivebyNature.org or Amazon.

  • It’s all natural (always a good thing)
  • It clearly provides 60% HCA

Natural Nutrition Labs Garcinia Cambogia

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-sells-natural-nutrition-labs-garciniaWho’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.

WHICHTOSELLWhy 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.

PRICE-DIFFERENCESHUGE 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?

sixpillsYou 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.

Garcinia Cambogia Xtreme

woman-questioning-xtreme-garciniaDecent, but NOT the Best Deal…

There’s no doubt about it – Garcinia Cambogia extract (often referred to as HCA extract) is one of the best discoveries made in the weight loss industry in quite some time. In fact, it’s probably the number one recommended supplement for naturally losing weight. Yeah, we realize that can be a hard to pill to swallow. Especially if you’ve been scammed by similar products in the past. But this time, you can actually believe (most) the claims. Even Dr. Oz himself says it’s the fastest fat burner.

We can understand your skepticism, though. But before you write it off as just another new diet fad, I very much urge you to take a few minutes to learn about it and I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised. There really isn’t anything out there like it right now and you’ll be hard pressed to find anything that works much better.

Why? Because it’s not simply just a fat burner. It’s not just some other fat blocker. It’s not another run of the mill appetite suppressant. But wait… then how do you lose weight with it? Because it does all THREE! That’s right, it comes full power with three different angles, which results in fast weight loss that’s rarely been seen before.

Unfortunately, being so powerful and popular means it draws all kinds of peoples’ attention: people who need to lose weight, established and trustworthy manufacturers and, here it comes… the scammers and fly by night companies just trying to make a quick buck off the first group of people. There are some pretty horrible sellers out there and we’ll be trying to keep up with them as they pop up so we can warn you about them. See current reviews here.

One that was brought to our attention is Garcinia Cambogia Xtreme. After a few emails, we decided we needed to do a little investigating. Overall though, they don’t appear to be truly evil like some of the others we’ve investigated. They actually seem, well, not great… but pretty decent. Here’s what we found…

checkmarkA Quality Product? Green Light

The first thing we wanted to do is find out about the product itself. Does it have enough HCA? What about useless filler ingredients that lower the quality or could be potentially dangerous? How many mg do you get – is it a good deal?

They passed on all the above. A good garcinia extract should have at least 50% HCA. It does. We also found that there are no artificial filler ingredients. They’ve included calcium and potassium, but that’s actually a good thing. These two ingredients help your body absorb the HCA easier and faster. Plus, it comes with 1500mg.

Clearly Shows You the Label? Green Light

xtreme-shows-labelOne of the main things we always warn people about is checking the label and verifying that you’re buying a quality product. Sometimes that isn’t so easy when you’re buying online, though. A reputable supplier will go out of their way to make sure you are able to clearly read the label before you buy it – before they even ask you for any contact or credit card information. Garcinia Cambogia Xtreme passed on this, too.
Established or Fly by Night Supplier? Green Light

Often times, suppliers that we look into aren’t real suppliers at all. They’re simply affiliate marketers who set up a domain and web page overnight to try to make a quick buck. Or they’re companies who have seemingly been set up overnight and came out of nowhere. Xtreme doesn’t seem to fall into this category. They’ve been around a while and they aren’t just pushing garcinia. They have a full blown website built to offer health and weight loss information.

Good Buy for the Money? No Go this Time…

xtreme-not-good-dealOne of the key features that Dr. Oz stressed about garcinia cambogia extract is the fact that it’s actually cheap. There’s no shelling out tons of money here – AND you’re getting probably the best fat buster that’s available right now. You should never pay more than $25 to $30 bucks. It just does not cost that much to manufacture. However, Xtreme’s price doesn’t get the green light for us. The milligram and value just don’t add up in our book.
Conclusion

Overall, Garcinia Cambogia Xtreme doesn’t look too bad at all when compared to many of the others we’ve researched. However, if you’re looking to get the best value then we’d have to say this is not the product for you.

Advanced Garcinia Cambogia

advanced-garcinia-warnings3 Scary Reasons to Stay Away!

Tired of buying into new weight loss products only to soon realize you’ve been duped again? We hear ya. It’s frustrating, right? For many people, losing weight or keeping it off seems to be a never ending struggle. Every week there seems to be, yet again, another new miraculous way to lose weight – hey even the stars are doing it! By now, you know that’s rarely true. But fortunately, you’ve come to the right place to learn the truth about what works and what doesn’t. You can also skip over to our main review page that clearly lays out the pros and cons of other brands.

Today, we’re going to introduce you to one of our favorites: Garcinia Cambogia. This stuff, by all the research we’ve done ourselves, is the real deal. However, it isn’t just as easy as that. Even with a good thing, there’s going to be some bad. That may sound contradicting, but it isn’t… just stay with us here.

Because garcinia cambogia extract is in such high demand, there are some suppliers and brands out there who are just after your money. They see the dollar signs whenever something makes it this big and they want a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, we found another one that we want to warn you about: Advanced Garcinia Cambogia. Now, let’s talk about why.

No Such Thing as Free Ride – Sorry

nowayOne of the most common ways that consumers get scammed these days is with the free trial or risk-free trial. And that couldn’t be truer than in the weight loss industry. When we were first alerted to Advanced, we investigated. And the very fist thing that they throw in your face is “Hey, try a free bottle – it’s on us!”

Don’t fall for it. 99 percent of the time these free bottles offered in the world of supplements are nothing but a bait and hook to get your payment info on file. Yes, you will probably receive a bottle soon after requesting it feeling all hunky dory because you can “cancel any time if you aren’t happy”.

But wait… cancel? Yes. You can bet your bottom dollar that they’ll require you to give them your credit card or bank information. That’s so they can keep sending you bottles and charging you. You might get lucky and easily cancel if you decide to. But from our experience, that’s easier said than done.

Shhh… They Want You to Think You’re Buying from THEM (But you aren’t)

So I was going to look even further into their free trial bottle. But guess what? I can’t. When you click it, you land on a blank page! How professional is that? But here’s the kicker… watch closely when you click on that button and you’ll see that you’re being taken to a completely different website (well – you’re supposed to be being taken there anyways).

So what’s that all about? It means they’re an affiliate. They’re affiliate marketers. They’re pushing and promoting a product that isn’t theirs in hopes that you’ll buy and they can make a commission.

garcinia-scam-nowayProbably the BIGGEST Red Flag: Not Showing the Label

This is at the very top of the list of our pet peeves. It’s unprofessional and most commonly, it means they know that a savvy shopper isn’t going to buy the product if they really seen what was in it (or what’s not in it). So they choose simply not to show the label. You can’t see the ingredients. You don’t even know how much HCA (hydroxycitric acid) is in it. HINT: It’s extremely important that any garcinia extract you buy has a bare minimum of 50% HCA… You don’t know the milligrams, so even if everything else was good to go, you’d have no way of knowing if it was good value or not.

Conclusion

Well there you have it. There are all of the main reasons we would never recommend buying Advanced Garcinia Cambogia. Actually, it’s hard to really find anything good to point out about this one! The site isn’t properly maintained, they’re another in the long line of sellers who try to pull consumers in with a free bottle offer and they don’t even think you deserve to know exactly what it is you’re ordering. There’s good news, though… keep reading below.

Knowing what to look for is extremely important when you’re buying weight loss supplements. Well, it’s important anytime, but when you’re buying weight loss pills, we’re talking about your health here. So buying garcinia supplements shouldn’t be an impulse buy. Always make sure you know exactly what you’re buying. If someone isn’t willing to show you well before ever asking for personal information, turn on your heels and go the other way. One that you can trust and is from a seller we’ve come to highly respect is this garcinia extract. In fact, it’s even sold on Amazon. Both their site and Amazon often have special discount specials running, too.

garciniabanner270613There are many reasons why we recommend this particular product. Not only are they an established retailer, but they pride themselves on offering as much information as possible. Go ahead and have a look yourself and you’ll see they aren’t some fly by night operation. This product exceeds Dr. Oz’s recommendations:

This product meets all of the important criteria that Dr. Oz recommends:

  • It’s all natural (always a good thing)
  • It clearly provides 60% HCA
  • Continues to receive amazing feedback
  • Has 600mg per capsule
  • You don’t get ripped off with it being full of fillers
  • You get the most amazing money back guarantee we’ve seen (no questions asked, no return authorizations, nothing!)

BioHealth Garcinia Cambogia

Choosing a garcinia cambogia product can be quite a challenge if you don’t know what you’re looking for. There are many sellers out there who sell low quality products that won’t help you at all. But they aren’t worried about if it works. They just want your money. You can see several of them on our review page here. One such company that looks to be one of these is BioHealth. Why? Keep reading…

want-money-backZero Customer Service

First of all, this company has customers ticked off all over the internet. It appears that since customers can’t get a hold of them directly, they’ve resorted to using forums, social media and complaint boards. But I haven’t found BioHealth replying to any of them. Heck, even on their official site, the FAQ is simply BLANK.

They Lie to You About Price

They would have you believe that you’ll pay less than $30 for a bottle of garcinia cambogia extract from them. That’d be fine and dandy. About $30 is what you should normally expect to pay. But the truth is, once you give them all your personal details and proceed to the checkout process, you find out that for a single bottle you’ll actually pay almost twice that. To get the $30 price, you have to order multiple bottles at once. And the real price will be roughly $150 total!

sneakysalestricksFree Shipping? Money Back Guarantee? Just More Sneaky Sales Tricks…

They clearly say that you get free shipping right on the front page. But if you dig deeper, you’ll learn that in order to get free shipping you have to order the package deal – just like you have to do in order to get the $30 per bottle price.
Same thing goes for their fancy money back guarantee plastered all over the place. A money back guarantee? You’ll probably end up spending almost as much to send it back as you spent when you ordered it. First you have to actually be able to get in touch with them to get a return authorization number. Then you get to pay the shipping and handling fees to return it. Then you also get to pay them a restocking fee… all because their “amazing” product didn’t work? Not good business in my eyes.

Conclusion

It sure looks like this is yet another seller that we’re putting on our warning list. We recommend to stay away from them. Go here to learn about others we recommend staying away from.

It’s unfortunate that there are so many sellers out there either trying to rip you off or simply don’t care about their customers. It’s getting harder and harder to tell a legit, quality product from an imitation. Especially when it comes to weight loss supplements. Until the government finds a way to regulate and control what can be sold and marketed as a natural supplement, you have to do the homework yourself.

We’re gradually adding more reviews and warnings about these  sellers. On a good note, t here is one that we highly recommend and praise. It’s NewLifeBotanicals Garcinia Extract. You won’t find it anywhere except on AlivebyNature.org, as it’s manufactured exclusively for them. Keeping it strictly exclusive allows them to measure and control every step of the manufacturing, processing and shipping to guarantee only the best extract possible. If you’re a fan of Amazon, they also sell through their store there.

NewLifeBotanicals isn’t some site that popped up overnight to make a quick buck. They have a long-established reputation as a leader in the industry in regards to both quality and customer service. But they offer much more than just a store to buy weight loss supplements – their site is very informative and is a good read for anyone interested in bettering their health. Their extract meets all our rating criteria, as well as Dr. Oz’s criteria for picking a garcinia product:

  • It’s all natural (always a good thing)
  • It clearly provides 60% HCA
  • Continues to receive amazing feedback
  • Has 600mg per capsule
  • You don’t get ripped off with it being full of fillers
  • You get the most amazing money back guarantee we’ve seen (no questions asked, no return authorizations, nothing!)
