Uncertain, NO!!!: It's not yet known how effective garcinia cambogia is; some studies have shown it helps, others suggest it doesn't- see http://www.Med.Nyu.Edu/content?Chunkiid=21727/ it is not the holy grail; the holy grail is diet ; exercise- there is no substitute. See http://bit.Ly/1dhw9ht re: a good diet. Also see http://bit.Ly/178bmuf for a supplement I am more impressed with, but no pill is magic for weight!

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
