I don't know anything about it or even what it is...other than a fruit extract to help lose weight and give you energy. I had told her that it if was worth anything someone on here would be aware of it. lol0

Dr Oz says it is a holy grail.
That alone tells me everything I need to know.0 -
It's been around for years. If it actually worked, all of us would know about it and use it. There is no clinical evidence to suggest that the claims purporting it enhances weight loss are true.0

I've got some tea which contains it. It apparently has thermogenic properties, raises metabolism and immunity and helps suppress the appetite. I'm willing to give it a try as I pay only 1p per tea bag! I think the important thing is to use anything like this as an AID in addition to the diet and exercise.0

Abstract
Several studies have shown that Garcinia cambogia plays an important role in the regulation of endogenous lipid biosynthesis. This effect is specially attributed to (-)-hydroxycitric acid (HCA) inhibiting the enzyme ATP-dependent citrate lyase, which catalyzes the cleavage of citrate to oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA. Although several studies have found that the administration of G. cambogia extracts is associated with body weight and fat loss in both experimental animals and humans, we should be cautious when interpreting the results as other randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials have not reported the same outcomes. Furthermore, most studies in humans have been conducted on small samples and mainly in the short term. None of them have shown whether these effects persist beyond 12 weeks of intervention. Therefore, there is still little evidence to support the potential effectiveness and long-term benefits of G. cambogia extracts. With regard to toxicity and safety, it is important to note that except in rare cases, studies conducted in experimental animals have not reported increased mortality or significant toxicity. Furthermore, at the doses usually administered, no differences have been reported in terms of side effects or adverse events (those studied) in humans between individuals treated with G. cambogia and controls.Investigations of botanicals on food intake, satiety, weight loss and oxidative stress: study protocol of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study.0 -
