Question 1

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 2

is garcinia cambogia safe for hypothyroidism patients?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: As is the case for most of these unproven supplements, there are no real studies that demonstrate that they do anything beneficial (despite what you may hear from dr. Oz), and no studies looking at drug interactions.  Many people say that it is "natural" since it comes from a plant.  Remember that many poisons come from plants as well.

Question 3

do you think garcinia cambogia really works for hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

No: Garcinia extract is in some herbal weight loss, appetite suppressant+energy products. Scientific analysis has found no significant effects, and some products have caused liver toxiciy and can be quite harmful.

Question 4

is garcinia cambogia effective?

Accepted Answer

NO Don't use it: Garcinia cambogia is in most weight loss supplements, and can cause liver failure.It was also used in Hydroxycut which was taken off the market as people died from using it.  I see a handful of patients per month with abnormal liver tests after using this medicine. I would NOT recommend it. There is no "magic pill" for weight loss. Diet and exercise remain the #1 way to lose weight and keep it off

Question 9

can i take garcinia cambogia with vitamins ?

Accepted Answer

Save your money: Yes, garcinia can be taken with most vitamins, but you would get better value for your money by eating high quality fresh food than from the vitamins and garcinia.

Question 10

does garcinia cambogia work for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

If so, only slightly: Many research studies show Garcinia Cambodia has little if any benefit- see http://authoritynutrition.com/garcinia-cambogia-extract/ 
&amp;  the link there for a "proven way to lose weight."
There is no substitute for changing your diet to lose weight, and exercise helps too. However, this supplement is more likely to be helpful than Garcinia: http://tinyurl.com/q46f4l5
