There is no magic bullet for weight loss (yet). Garcinia cambogia is a "supplement" not a drug, so it's unregulated. That means marketers can make any kind of wild a** claims they want.

If you didn't open it you can return it. I didn't open it yet. Plus it was only 4 dollars anyway. So you're not wasting tons of money if it doesn't work.

No. It does not work. The only thing that works is eating fewer calories than you burn.

It's a scam. I'd get those $4 back and put it towards a food scale, that'll do far more for you than a scam.

Luckily, calorie deficits are a less expensive alternative to supplements that do nothing. And they have the bonus of a guarantee of working if you can stick with it.

Nope, like others said return it and your $4 closer to a food scale.

Conclusions.— Garcinia cambogia failed to produce significant weight loss and fat mass loss beyond that observed with placebo.

Summary: Although there is some limited potential for (-)-Hydroxycitric acid as a weight loss aid, the magnitude of effect is quite low (up to 2kg over 3 months) and the benefit is unreliable; making it hard to recommend this compound as a fat burner or anti-obesity agent.

Standard dosing of Garcinia Cambogia and its bioactive, (-)-Hydroxycitric acid, is 500mg of (-)-Hydroxycitric acid taken 30-60 minutes prior to a meal and usually taken at up to three different meals daily.

It is unsure if this is the ideal dose since human studies usually fail to find a benefit with any dosage.
