    Not proven effective.

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

    If it doesn't help, it seems like it also will not hurt--from Tamarind fruit.

    According to the ads, this helps to reduce cravings for fatty foods.

    All you need to know is that diet pills aren't necessary. They are packed full of stimulants and often hormones that can cause jitters, increase your respiratory rate, can cause heart attacks, angina, high blood pressure and other cardiac problems for those at risk. You don't need them. They are a waste of money when you can lose weight by eating well and moving more.

    Here is the entire fact sheet on it from the The National Center for Biotechnology Information and the National Toxicology Program. They also say that it is not proven effective.
