Over the past year or so, Garcinia Cambogia has been getting plenty of attention. Both good and bad, but mostly good. Any time something gets as much attention and becomes as popular as this particular weight loss supplement, you’re bound to have naysayers. In our case, most of the time we have found that those who say it don’t work simply weren’t using it right or had bought the wrong one (yes, there are some major differences between suppliers when it comes to weight loss pills!).
It seemingly came out of nowhere and its popularity grew like a wild fire in zero humidity with ravaging wind storms after Dr. Oz talked about it on his show. If you’re reading this, then you’re probably already a believer, but are simply trying to figure out which is the safest and the best Garcinia Cambogia extract to buy – right?
Understanding the Basics About Garcinia Cambogia
Obviously, this extract helps you lose weight. Unlike many other supplements out there, it does so safely (in most cases – keep reading for more info)… It helps prevent fat from forming. It “magically” burns away fat as energy, leaving you with pure muscle mass. Lastly, you get the added benefit of an appetite suppressant and craving control.
There have been plenty of studies on this extract that’s derived from the rinds of tamarind fruit. One of the most notable ones is outlined below. This study was aimed at determining just how effective it is. But it’s important to note that there were absolutely no side effects reported, too!
Warning About Pregnancy and Diet Supplements
As we recommend when it comes to any type of health supplement, you should think very carefully about using this if you’re pregnant or nursing. Health supplements, particularly diet ones, can be potentially dangerous for you and your little one. Studies very rarely set up to confirm the safety of use in this case.
Secondly, ensuring that the Garcinia you decide to buy is pure and all natural is important. You should make sure (by checking the label and reading the ingredient list for yourself) that it isn’t filled with needless ingredients. At most, there should be hydroxycitric acid (at least 50%) and maybe calcium or potassium (these two have been shown to improve the absorption rate, making it more effective – and they’re completely natural compounds we eat on a daily basis).
Today, with the thousands of diet products that hit the market every year, it’s vital that a weight loss supplement have verified studies to back up their claims. Unfortunately, people still get scammed out of their money because they jump the gun on purchasing something just because their favorite celebrity endorses it or supposedly lost xx pounds with it. We know you’re smarter than that, though – or you wouldn’t be here doing your own research, right?
Good, let’s get on with it…
Garcinai Clinical Trial Information
This particular trial lasted 12 weeks. 44 somewhat obese participants between 20 and 65 years of age were involved, with some of them being given a placebo and some of them being given the real pure Garicnia Cambogia extract.
One of the reasons that we like to refer to this trial is the fact that there was great documentation kept throughout the length of the trial. Staring a couple of weeks before the trial, each participant was given a tomography. Then again several more times. A tomography is when your body is scanned, in this case they were obviously tracking their BMI and how the extract was affecting their weight, along with other things.
The results? Those using Garcinia lost substantial amount of weight. Also, it was noted that participants specifically experienced fat loss around the belly area.
