User Reviews for garcinia

I have tried 2 different brands and neither of them worked as far as weight loss is concerned.

I am getting bloating and gas. I take this first thing in the morning and wait 30-60 min before a meal. I don't see that as a side effect anywhere but wonder if it is. My weight has not changed.

TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS!! IM STILL RECOVERING AFTER A MONTH!! Please do not take this product!! I took a pill each day for 6 days. It gave me extreme nausea (for the past month) which resulted in repeated gaging, reflux, motion sickness, diarrhea, and stomach pains (which CANNOT be normal). I stopped taking it as soon as I realized what was causing my symptoms. It has now been a month and I went to the doctor and they told me I now have Gastro Intestinal Reflux Disease (from Garcinea Cambodia) and have to take Nexium and Prilosec 2X a day to heal my stomach!

It makes my spine and lungs hurt really bad

First let me address a previous post that this is "NATURAL" and why on earth would there be negative effects on a "NATURAL" medicine? Well, there are several reasons (cocaine is natural and that doesn't make it healthy and without bodily consequence). I have been taking this for only 3 days. I'm a vegetarian, I'm actually very active and not over weight. I was looking for an alternative to green tea and this was suggested. Since I started this only 3 days ago I have had abdominal pain, I have had unusual fatigue and difficulty concentrating. All symptoms unusual for me and absolutely at the onset of usage of this pill. It does warn that if these occur you should stop taking it. So? I shall. Back to green tea. Read More Read Less

I had taken the tablets for 2 days when on the third morning I woke up with severe upper abdominal pain. This is my third day since I have stopped and I am still in pain. It is working for my Mum, she has no pain. In the 2 days I did use it I could feel a bit of a difference. I am not overweight but I could lose a couple of kgs.

Maybe it was a coincidence that exactly 4 hours after taking 2 capsules I vomited violently and continued to have symptoms that were exactly like food poisoning. I vomited for 12 hours straight, felt extremely lightheaded, chills and aches. I dont know, maybe it WAS food poisoning but Im not taking a chance again with these.

Whatever else this product is, it is fiber. I have had #2 everyday, some days more than once which for me is great. However, gained 6 lbs in 6 weeks. Also, I have had a lot of hair coming out and wondered why. Now I know why it might be according to other comments. Fiber will cause bloating, gas, fluid retention, cramps in some folks. Those folks probably need to forget the garcinia and do the colon cleanse, gently, to remover their blockages. There are a lot of cheaper fiber products out there. I wonder if some companies are sneaking other known weight loss substances in that are no longer recommended because they do cause heart trouble or maybe just a lot of caffeine? Although I like "going" every day, at $50 a bottle, I can do without. Please be careful out there everyone, remember the fen-fen craze and resulting deaths and heart damage? High protein, no starchy carbs or sugars and moderate exercise--it works, it just doesn't work as well the older we get. But that is what works for everyone. Losing weight builds character because it isn't easy. Just don't beat yourself up about it. Shame on Dr. Oz, in his quest to stay on television I think his physician instincts are becoming careless. His show is the reason I tried it too. Product I used is Miracle GarciniaGambogia. Not on the list below.Read More Read Less

I have lost 17 pounds in 3 weeks , I'm stuck in a bed for 5 weeks do to a broken leg . I'm not as hungry and have been on no diet. I feel great!

It's a good thing I only ordered one bottle I would not recommend this supplement.

The most scary feeling of a possible hart attack make me stop taking this supplement, my stomac, back and neck pains were almost making me pased out, nauseas, vomiting an 2 non sleeping days were no worth at all; every body is different and have all kind of different secondary effects and reactions, I would not recomend the risk to any body, 10 days after only 3 pills and I am still very sick. The product ordered was: Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract 1000mg, Extract (60% HCA), Dr. oz recomended. Be careful.Read More Read Less

Used this product for four weeks. I had pain in my stomach, digestive problems. Had to go to gastro doctor. Not good for me...

First I'd like to say that I have not experienced any of the side effects others are reporting. It seems to work well as an appetite suppressant. However, if I continue to eat after the "I'm full" signal I can easily eat more without any GI upset. I didn't weigh myself before I started taking the supplement but I have noticed my clothes fit more loosely. So far I'm not unhappy with the product.

still be hungry

I haven't lost weight, and I crash in the afternoon around 3:00pm

for 2 weeks I've been taking about 1500mg (62.1% hca) per day, one capsule 1/2 hr before each meal as directed. I don't own any scales so I can't say if I have lost weight or not but i seem to have dropped half a size. probably as a result of my appetite (or lack thereof). I still crave food but once I start eating, i soon find I don't really want more than a cupful of anything. I experience mild nausea after/while eating, but I find water helps a lot with that. overall i did notice a difference after 2 weeks. however i think I'll decrease the amount I'm taking daily to see if the nausea lets up a little.Read More Read Less

I have been taking Garcinia Cambogia from the makers of Lean Body purchased from a chemist for $24.95. The pharmacist explained the importance of the correct amount of Calcium & Potassium incorporated within the Garcinia Cambogia suplement when purchasing. AND IT HAS WORKED. I would recommend it. I feel great, and sleeping well. It did take 2 weeks to kick and with diet and some exercise I am now seeing the benefits.

I developed liver toxicity after taking garcinia for 2 weeks. My liver is still recovering after a 3 week episode. I do not think this natural product is for everyone. Also no weight loss.

I have used pure garcinia cambogio 1,000 mg for 8 months with no plans to stop this ever. I 5 months I lost 60 lbs and have lost my final 15 lbs over the last few months. I was border line diabetic and no longer have that problem. I went from size 20w to a ladies 10. I feel great and my appetite is under control.
