User Reviews for garcinia

I purchased this product from whole body, paid about $23 for 60 capsules. Take 2 in the am and 2 lunchtime. Good for curbing appetite, loss 1 lb in 5 days. Begin having severe pain in my neck and upper chest on right side in the 3rd day. Was very scary! Was thinking of going to ER but 1 aleve tablet calmed things down. Next day took 2 more at breakfast about 1 hour later pain was back worse. Lasted all day. On day 5 I decided to look closer at the ingredients and figured the 90 gm potassium may be causing so I quit taking. Next day I was fine and decided this product is not for me. Please be careful! Pay attention to your body warnings while taking this.Read More Read Less

I am a 44 year old woman - generally have a quick metabolism but am slightly overweight. Want to lose 7kg. The product did supress my apetite, but within a week of starting the treatment I became extremely constipated (Despite also taking bowel cleanser as recommended). By week 2 I felt physically ill due to the severity of the constipation. I stopped taking the supplement and within a few days my bowel movements returned to normal. I don't know if the product would have hwlped me lose weight if i persisted, but the extreme discomfort is not worth the price. My partner is a 50 year old male. He also took the pills, but had to stop after 4 weeks for the same reason. Read More Read Less

i ordered prima life garcinia had it for a month before trying finally decided, since taking i have had a LOT of gas and uncomfortable, i am planning on stopping this....

I am taking Whole Body Garcinia Cambodia as of 12/25/13 (now 1/5/14). I've actually read a lit if reviews after the first week and started taking 2 pills 3x say, 30 minutes before each meal. I've heard that is more effective for folks. Even with 1 pill 3x a day I've had less of an appetite and my energy level is definately improved. My moods have definitely gotten better and I do not feel lazy and tired as I had. I do get a little constipation but not terribly bad. I think you need to give it a few weeks for your body to adjust, I def know it's been beneficial this far. No weight loss yet but I do expect to see a drop within a week or so. I will be ordering my next bottle in a few days. I'll post another update next week whether positive or negative weight results. Read More Read Less

my first week I lost eight pounds without trying very hard. I have been eating normal foods, just a lot less and feeling satisfied. I'm on my second bottle and I'm ready to a exercise to the game. It reallt does make you feel full longer.

I need to lose 12 pounds. Three days ago I started to take this as the instructions say with a full glass of water 3 times a day. I was afraid to check my weight in the mornings when usually I weight more after having breakfast but I did it anyway. Already lost one pound, I'm very satisfied, love this product because it diminishes my appetite and it's easier to not overeat. The only side effect so far is mild constipation so I'm drinking lots of water for. Overall so far is working out great for me.Read More Read Less

I too researched and found a brand that has no fillers. I am an RN and I have tried green coffee bean extract with no results. When I bought this I thought that I was just wasting more money...BUT I WAS PLEASED when someone asked me if I was losing weight. The bottle I have says to take 3 times a day. I am only taking it twice a day. I have been taking it since September and have lost about 13-15 pounds with no exercise or dieting. However, I am curious to see how it is interacting with my thyroid med. I will find out in Feb. when I get it checked. If you take a lot of medication, please be careful of potential interactions.

Since I started, I have experienced repeated constipation, however, it cubs my appetite and I have lost a lot of inches around my middle.

I took product from Whole Body. A couple of the capsules broke and then sent me another 3 months supply. I took for approx. 6 weeks. While I quit on 12/23 and did over do it during the holidays, my weight went up 7+ pounds, my LDL went up 24 pts (AWFUL!) and my A1C went to 6.5. SO, don't take this...it is supposed to help your cholesterol. I didn't know anything about not taking my statin while taking this supplement. I will let my doctor know that I took this supplement. Perhaps she will have a response.Read More Read Less

i ate my way through the holidays and didn't gain anything. i should have gained 10 pounds but didn't..happy happy happy...........

I eat moderately healthy and exercise pretty often (running, kickboxing, dog walking daily). I have tried this product twice. The first time I experienced some hair loss, and no difference in my weight so I stopped taking it after 3 weeks. I read reviews online that this product is best with the low carb diet, as it helps with cravings and that you need to get the type of pills that are all natural with the certain amount of ingredients and supported with Green Coffee Bean Extract. I can say that in my first week of a "no carbs" diet, this did help with sugar cravings, but I also gained 5 pounds in 3 weeks. (I sacrificed my holiday treats for the pills) Very rapid weight gain on a diet, and all in my mid section and I have been on the product for 3 weeks. I'm not sure if this product is for specific body types or if it is a scam, but I definitely do not support the use of these pills any longer. Healthy eating and exercise is the way to go, and there are no such thing is a magic weight loss pill. Read More Read Less

I started taking this 5 months ago. I combined it with a 1,000 calorie a day diet. This makes a difference. I have lost 22 lbs. You cannot expect Any supplement to work if you don't change your eating. The Garcinia helped to curb my appetite. I couldn't have done it without it as I love to eat.

Within minutes of taking the product I have severe heartburn and indigestion. I have gained a couple of pounds. it is more difficult to lose now. I stopped taking it and can lose 1 lb in 1-2 weeks.

I was told about this natural energy booster 27 years ago by some one who was a Heath fitness guru so I trusted her implicitly. 6 or 7 weeks after taking this on a daily basis I began to have gran mall seizures, I was having 3 or 4 one right after another. I finally saw a neurologist he asked me what meds and vitamins I was taking, I told him I was only taking the garcinia in tablet form to give me more energy, he told me to stop taking it because it was a very strong stimulant and that it's what most likely what triggered my seizures, I'm now on 3 different anti convulsants and have been for 27 years, I even have the vagus nerve stimulator but that didn't help me enough to go off my meds, and the VNS has even paralyzed one of my vocal cords. I want the public to be very careful of what they put in their bodies, just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good for you it could cause you great harm in the long run. It could be deadly. Please be careful. Ask your doctor before taking anything.Read More Read Less

This treatment interacted with my blood pressure medications. I had extreme high blood pressure after only 6 days and could not control while on this treatment. One week after quitting, the bp is back to normal. DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU ARE ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS.

Used for 3 days 2 pills 1.5 hrs before eating. Got incredibly bad constipation (normally I have no problems at all in this area). There was noticeable effect on appetite(decreased). DR OZ SHOULD HAVE PAID PEOPLE'S ATTENTION TO THE DEFINITIVE 'CONSTIPATION' SIDE EFFECT THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE EXPERIENCING WHEN USING GARCINIA CAMBOGIA. DR OZ DID A POOR JOB WITH THIS PRODUCT.

I have taken as recommended for one month. I did not lose any weight, my pulse rate increased and it actually increased my appetite instead of decreasing it. DO NOT BUY OR TAKE THIS PRODUCT!

I started taking garcinia cambogia & green coffee extract 6 days ago; so far I gained 5 pounds. Not what I expected

I tried this product based on what I read about it's benefits. It did nothing for me other than give me headaches. Case by case I guess.

I started taking this less than 24 hours ago and have since had vomiting and diarrhea along with horrible stomach cramps. I would not recommend this product to anyone!!
