Question 1

starting to take garcinia is it healthy?

Diet Pills: It is not effective. That is the real question you should be asking before spending money on the latest 'diet fad' to help make rich people richer. These diet pills will not in any way lead to real or lasting weight loss.

Question 3

what is your take on "garcinia cambogia extract 750 mg?

Accepted Answer

Garcinia: Initially there were alternative medicine claims that it might help with weight loss but there is no scientific proof for that and it is not approved by the fda for that.

Question 4

im on levothyroxine medication can i take max garcinia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but....: I am not aware of a bad interaction.  However, why do you want to take garcinia?  These supplements are always promoted heavily without any medical/scientific justification.  A study by kim et al, nutritional journal, 2011, vol 10, page 94, pmcid  21936892, found no effect of garcinia on weight loss.  The advertisers won't tell you that, will they?

Question 5

Unknown: This interaction has never been studies so we don't know if it is safe to take together.  You should speak to your doctor about starting any new vitamins while on bromocriptine.

Question 6

i'm 5'6 220lbs. if i take garcinia cambogia premium how long will it take me to lose 100lbs?

Accepted Answer

Forgive me: The same length of time it will take you to lose the 100 pounds by diet and exercise without taking that stuff. Those folks have no reason to to tell the truth. We do. Kelly, it's time you have a talk with your physician about weight loss -- especially for a young woman like yourself, either a major lifestyle modification or bariatric surgery is your route to the body that you want. Good luck.

Question 7

been taking garcinia cambogia for a few days wanting to take it for a few months bad or good?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: Garcinia cambogia extracts are an ingredient in some herbal weight loss, appetite suppressant, and energy products. A meta-analysis found a possible short-term small effect (under 1 kilogram), but also adverse effects that led to one preparation being withdrawn from the market.
 
Liver toxicity from weight-loss supplements which contain extracts of garcinia cambogia has been reported.

Question 8

i am taking sertraline200 mg and want to take garcinia cambogia and i want to know if its safe?

Accepted Answer

Unsafe: Garcinia cambojia in itself is not a safe supplement to take long term. There are no studies to vouch for its long term safety. I would avoid taking it with sertralime. No data on whether the two can interact.

Question 9

is it ok to take garcinia cambogia if i have hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Why: Why are you taking the supplement, as the only thing that will lose weight is your wallet. Don't put things in your body when you don't know what they are, what they will do, or any potential harm they could cause. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet. Make sure you're on brand name replacement and at the correct dose.

Question 10

is garcinia cambogia better to take than hydroxycut?

Accepted Answer

Only for...: Hi. Garcinia cambogia and hydroxycut are both bogus snake oil. You taking Garcinia cambogia is only better for the snake oil salespeople who sell Garcinia cambogia. But hey, it's YOUR money! Good luck!
