Does Carcinia Cambogia Work To Lose Weight

By Stacey Burt


Both reputable manufacturers and fly-by-night scam artists offer herbal products, especially over the internet. Consumers must take the time and effort to ensure they are getting a safe and effective supplement and also getting their money's worth. A good product will do what it promises. Those who ask 'Does Carcinia cambogia work?' will be happy to know that research and personal testimonials say 'Yes'.

Weight-loss is such a major category in the industry, garnering millions of dollars in sales annually, that all sorts of products are marketed. There seems to be a new fad every week. However, there is nothing new about Garcinia cambogia, an evergreen tree, also known as the mangosteen, that has produced food and medicinal products for centuries. There are many species native to warmer parts of the world. The trees are found in India, Polynesia, Africa, Australia, and Asia.

This herb, recently brought into prominence by a television doctor/health expert, has been used even in America for decades. It is said to be a weight-loss 'miracle', but it in fact has given results for generations of people who want to lose weight, suppress appetite, and burn fat. Unlike many other highly touted herbal supplements, garcinia has kept its market niche even though the doctor has moved on to other products.

There are many studies done with animals that support the fat-burning, appetite-suppressing, and weight-loss properties of this herb. Studies done with people have shown positive results, as well, although they are not as definitive. Testimonials posted online by people who have tried the supplement, as well as strong sales in natural stores, are additional reasons to think it effective.

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.

The herb is said by some to work better with calcium, while others say this mineral may inhibit the action of the herb and suggest potassium as a beneficial additive instead. Experts say that there should be at least 60% HCA for best results. Some prefer a potent whole-plant product, while others like concentrated extracts. The recommended daily dosage is 1,500 to 1,600 milligrams a day.

Customer reviews are a good way to learn about the results this herb may provide. People who have found an effective way to lose weight and burn stubborn belly fat are happy to share the good news. Reviews also may point out ineffective supplements and those which do much better. People should make sure the testimonials are honest and not mere advertisements. They can also go online to check out the results of clinical trials and blind tests done with overweight people.
