Garcinia Cambogia extract comes as not only a double threat, like we’ve read elsewhere, but actually it starts promoting weight loss by three different ways. The most notable and the one thing that makes it one of the most powerful weight loss supplements available today is that it changes the process of how your body converts sugar into fat. This is a process that takes place in your liver and when you’re using this extract, it modifies the way in which your liver deals with sugar. Instead of being converted into fat, it’s burned off as energy – blocking fat from forming.

The biggest ways in which Garcinia helps you naturally lose weight are as follows:

• Blocking fat from forming
• Naturally and safely reduces your appetite and helps you feel fuller for longer periods of time
• Increases serotonin levels: Higher levels of serotonin helps you feel happier and less stressed (which we all know that if you’re sad, upset or stressed it can lead to emotional eating

There’s hardly a shortage of options when you start looking for diet pills, capsules and other types of supplements (drops). But because Garcinia Cambogia has received so much attention in the weight loss industry, there are plenty of studies that prove just how it works and how safe it is to take. Probably one of the most noted is an 8-week long study from Georgetown University. What did we learn from it? We learned that HCA supplements can:

• Dramatically improve your BMI and body weight
• Increase serotonin levels (over 40% in this study!)
• Decrease serum leptin levels

Many people get confused when we tell them about serotonin. Yes, serotonin levels are directly related to your mood and are often used in treating patients with depression. But you have to realize that emotional eating and cravings are a huge contributing factor in many cases of obesity and being overweight. Improving and increasing your levels of serotonin can assist in putting an end to emotional eating. You’re also satisfied and feel fuller longer.

What to Look for when Buying Garcinia Capsule or Pills Supplements

Once you start shopping, you’ll quickly realize just how many supplements have filled the market for Garcinia over the past year or so. But you have to remember that they’re not all the same. In fact, there can be enormous differences from one product to the next. In order to make sure you get the best results possible, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind when shopping:

• The first, and probably the most important thing to keep in mind is that for Garcinia Cambogia extract to be effective, it needs to have a bare minimum 50% HCA (hydroxycitric acid). Beware of any product that either 1.) Doesn’t clearly state the amount of HCA in it or 2.) Has less than this.
• It should contain at least 500mg. Don’t be fooled by products that claim they have 800, 900 or even 1500 mg. If you read closely, you’ll realize that you have to take many more pills per day to reach their stated mg amount. This is a common marketing gimmick that confuses many consumers.
• It should not contain a bunch of filler ingredients, binders or artificial ingredients. Even if they say it doesn’t contain this, check the ingredients on the label for yourself. That leads us to the next point…
• Stay away from any product that you can’t clearly check and read the label for yourself. Any reputable supplier will make sure you have the ability to see exactly what you’re buying before you give them your payment or contact information – even if it’s online.
• Look for a product that’s manufactured at a U.S. facility that’s FDA approved. If it isn’t don’t put your health (and money) into their hands!
• Don’t buy a product that tries to make you believe it’s backed by Dr. Oz. If you check with their staff or even his site, you’ll see that he does not endorse any particular brand. In fact, he was downright ticked off about people doing this and did a show dedicated to making people aware of it.
