Is Garcinia Cambogia Safe For Weight Loss?

Garcinia cambogia is the fruit from a tropical tree that is also called tamarind. It's popular in Asian countries as well as parts of Southern Africa and other tropical regions.

 

Many claim that it works well as a weight loss supplement due to its ability to block the body's ability to create fat. It lowers the appetite and it can also help to maintain blood sugar and cholesterol levels. 

 

It is ready available on grocery store shelves as well as nutritional shops as a dietary supplement. The active ingredient in the supplement is the hydroxycitric acid (HCA). It is well known for its ability to boost fat burning and to cut back on the appetite. 

The fact that it cuts back on an enzyme and blocks the enzymes ability to store fat helps it to work well. The enzyme, citrate lyase, is what the body uses when it is making fat. By cutting back on this it allows the brain to create more serotonin. The increased levels of serotonin make the person feel less hungry. 

 

Weight loss success on the product will vary according to the person and how their body reacts. According to several studies, those who did take the product lost approximately two pounds more than those who did not take the product. 

 

It may be due to the brains neurotransmitters telling the body that it was full or it may be from lower calorie diets. Either way, it appears to have limited success in those who diligently added it in to their diet program.

An additional benefit is the products ability to help a person to maintain their blood sugar and thus lower the need for insulin. However, if this is the reason for taking it, it's very important to do so with a doctors knowledge and not stop taking the insulin except under the advice of a physician.

 

The product also helps to lower cholesterol and thus can be very helpful to those who are struggling with issues of high cholesterol. 

 

However, as stated above, if you're on any medication that is for the above mentioned issues, be sure and check with your physician before taking this product. Many medications may interact or you could suffer a drastic drop in blood sugar levels that could lead to a serious condition. Garcinia cambogia is safe when used according to the specific label instructions and a doctors supervision.
