    Throughout the years I've tried different versions of all that crap before I came to my senses and none of it works. There is no magic pill that's gonna make your body not absorb fat or doesn't let sugar become fat. If this was really the case, wouldn't EVERYONE be using it?

    Sorry, I should have been clearer in my original post.....

    I don't watch Dr Oz - haven't seen any hype about it.
    I had a woman at the heath food shop try and sell it to me as a Digestive function aid.

    Basically what she was say is:
    when you suddely start reducing calories and change your eating habits your digestion slows down.
    Thats why after the first few weeks of sucess, it gets harder and harder to shift the weight.
    so what you need is something that will trick your motabilism to staying the same speed - the Garcinia Cambogia or something like Blackmores Metabolic Advantage will aid your digestion and keep it from slowing up.

    Last time I lost a bunch of weigh I took a good mulitvitamin and iron tablet to make sure I wasn't missing out on any essential vitiamins.

    I'm not looking for a quick fix. I know it took years to put it on.
    I am looking for a herbal remedy to support my digestion while I eat healthy and exercise.
    Is Garcinia Cambogia a good option or should I stick to a good multi vitamin?

    The person who told you all this is trying to earn a commission on a product that you don't need. You can't "trick" your metabolism and all the other stuff she said is untrue.

    Yes, I paid a penny for a bottle due to a price mistake.

    I want my penny back.

    I started using Garcinia Cambogia before I ever seen it on Dr. Oz and it has done wonders for me. But not everyone is the same. I felt like I had lots of energy and it curbed my hunger. I have been taking it for about 10 months now.

    Ah yes, the health food and supplement shop. The used car dealership of nutrition. I'm surprised they don't wear trench coats lined with pill bottles...

    I got it, but you have to take three a day for the results you've been hearing about; they are big pills too. I never finished my first bottle, so I don't know if it really works, but there really is no magic pill.
