Garcinia Cambogia FAQ

Q: What is Garcinia Cambogia, and what does it do?

Found in Southern Asia, Garcinia Cambogia is a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit. It contains a chemical compound called hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, which has been shown in clinical studies to help people drop pounds fast.

HCA has a dual-action effect. It blocks the body from converting the food you eat into fat, and also suppresses the appetite. This natural compound helps you cut down on cravings and meal sizes, and stops the food you do eat from settling on your hips and thighs. Instead, all of that fat is turned into energy and literally burned up.

Q: Do all Garcinia Cambogia supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of Garcinia Cambogia.

Q: What should I look for?

Make sure the supplement you choose has the active ingredient, HCA, in at least a 95% concentration. In the better quality capsules, you’ll also see a percentage of potassium, which helps with absorption of HCA in the body. Besides for these two ingredients, there should be nothing else included other than the capsule itself.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between Garcinia Cambogia and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis. Also, pregnant or nursing women are advised not to take Garcinia Cambogia.

Q: How do I take Garcinia Cambogia?

You should take a capsule before each large meal of the day. Some people like taking the complete dosage all at once, but we recommend spacing it out to get the most from HCA’s appetite suppressing power. As with any type of pill, you should not exceed the daily dosage of 1600mg, since this can pose health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while others don’t lose as much as fast. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any time frame.

Q: How much do Garcinia Cambogia products cost?

The cost of Garcinia Cambogia varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the trend. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
