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.

Garcinia cambogia: Research data is mixed, but at least 1 lasting 8 weeks did show a positive effect on both weight loss and lipid profile: http://tinyurl.Com/lrddqa6 the form used in these studies was hca-sx, super citrimax and serving size was ~3000mg/day, in divided doses. Consumerlab has tested 11 brands of garcinia, and found that only 5 contained their labeled amounts of hca. So be careful in what you use.
