Has anyone been using Garcinia Cambogia as a supplement? Any success or horror stories. I have a bottle on order being delivered today after seening a segment on Dr Oz about it. Please share.

Thanks,
Mark

    waste of money - the few human studies there are suggest that the only effects are non-significant
    for links to the studies see:

    Also, please beware of where you purchase it. Avoid any of the "free trial" or money back guarantee internet sites--most of them are scams. I think Walmart and/or Sams carries it, if you insist on wasting your money.

    Why do people buy this stuff, THEN come on the boards and ask about it? They could save themselves money and disappointment by asking first.

    i just bought some (gardenia cambogia rush)
    it must be 60% extract and must take over 1600mg a day for it to work.
    I've heard many success stories, aaand Dr oz raved about it......
    ill let you know!

    Good grief. Another gimmick. The only person gaining anything out of this is the supplier of the product. Best to save your cash, this I think is a false claim with intention to sell snake oil.
