Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia

There's no miracle ingredient, and no research to support it. There are so many sources for this anyway, so how do we check clinical data as well as manufacturing standards? Where is the patent? Are there near-pharmaceutical grade conditions for manufacture (higher than what's required in the food industry)? What about additives? What about the standard percentage of 15-30% absorption of anything in pill form (vitamins, prescriptions, anything else)? I'd question this.

There is considerable data on a natural ingredient raising the level of hormones that make a person feel full and addressing free fatty acids. There is plenty of info on complete nutrition keeping the body from going into "starvation mode" and slowing the metabolism (the problem with most diets) and there are safe products for doing this without stimulating the central nervous system.

I work in nutritional epigenetics, which is heralded as THE science for the century, and I don't know of any scientists anywhere who are promoting garcinia cambogia unless they have a profit motive. I remain open to science but not to advertising claims if they aren't backed up by clinical data.

If a magic pill worked no one would be over weight!

I didn't see it but was bored at work one day and ordered it. I don't have time for more than 30 minutes of exercise a day.

Does not work!

Now I know so no harm no foul. Thankfully summer is just around the corner where I get more active and the weight just goes away.

My Husband started eating healthier. His goal was just to eat healthier and fresh things. And a side benefit of it, was that he lost weight, too.
And he looks and is healthier now.
Just by eating healthier.
Eating only fresh fruits, veggies, less salt, less oils, less processed food.

Hi Geebers,

Diane B and I agree. The product may do well but true nutrition is the best way to lose weight. Now that being said, sometimes nutrition will not absorb if there is so much "stuff" and I mean synthetic chemicals that confuse the body, in your body. Preservatives from processed foods, pesticides from even fresh foods, GMOs, OTC meds as well as prescribed medications all contraindicate in your body and confuse it. My husband is on a multivitamin that is guaranteed to absorb (and is patented with research) because the nutrition is bound to proteins and organic compounds. I believe when your body truly absorbs nutrition, extra weight will not stay. (My husband is down 148 pounds.) One of the reasons I believe this to be true is he was never a couch potato and he never ate junk food or processed stuff.

I agree WW is a good program for those that need or want help will accountability. Many diets and programs will help you lose weight but weight that comes off without the toxins going away, will always come back.

Regards,
M.

Similar to my other response re: Oz.

Dr. Oz= quack. I call BS on this product.

Similarly, Dr. Mercola = quack. And I think he is more dangerous than Oz. Oz seems fairly harmless while Mercola seems to promote dangerous ideas.

There are no magic bullets for weight loss.
