Thanks to the wonderful people over at Garcinia Cambogia/Summit Nutritions I received a bottle of of Garcinia Cambogia Extract 85% HCA Complex-2 to review here on the blog. This bottle is available on Amazon and retails for $27.99 

Since the summer of 2014 I have been on a quest to live better and do better with my health. I got braces, started eating better and now I'm trying to work out. Unfortunately the years of being so sedentary have made it so difficult to start my weight loss. I have heard the words Garcinia Cambogia thrown around at the gym and decided to do some research.  

According to Web MD: Garcinia cambogia is a tropical fruit also known as the Malabar tamarind which is a popular weight-loss supplement. It is said that Garcinia Cambogia blocks your body’s ability to make fat and it puts the brakes on your appetite. It could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, too. You will find it in bottles on the shelf at the store as well as mixed with other ingredients in diet products.

As with any product there are some side effects that you need to take note of. When you take garcenia cambogia you may get dizziness, dry mouth, headache, upset stomach or diarrhea.

Another thing to note is in 2009 the Food and Drug Administration warned everyone to stop using a weight-loss product that contained garcenia cambogia because some people taking it suffered from some liver problems. The product had other ingredients that could have caused the liver issue so there is no way to be 100% certain that garcenia cambogia was to blame. The research behind the issue is not clear if garcenia cambogia is safe for your liver or not. This is just something you should discuss with your doctor prior to starting any weight loss supplement.

The company says this pure version of garcenia cambogia will:

• Appetite Control 
• Suppressants Carb Blockers
• Fat Burners Diet Kits
• Systems Carb Management
• Supplements Detox & Cleanse Diuretics

It also:

• Contains no fillers
• Soy Free
• Gluten free
• No GMO’S

I have been taking Garcinia Cambogia for a few weeks and it has not been a bad experience. I already drink at least two liters of water a day and I work out three times a week. I read a few other reviewers had bathroom issues while taking Garcenia Cambogia, I have not had any such reaction but that does not mean it cannot happen to you, so please again please check in with your doctor before starting any new treatments.

Has anyone else tried Garcinia Cambogia Extract 85% HCA Complex-2 ? What did you think of it?
