May harm you: Garcinia cambogis or malabar tamarind is used safely as a food ingredient in many parts of world due to its savor taste , described in ayurvedic medicine , promoted by dr oz as weight loss product but disputed by others, its ingredients may damage liver ( hepato toxic ) speak to your parents before consuming.

Hard to say: No doctor can ever say, "if you do this then this is going to happen to you." however, based on a lot of data that doctors consider valid assessments of an agent's safety and effectiveness, i think most would tell you the most likely outcome if you take this is 1) you won't lose a significant amount of weight (i assume that's why you're interested), and 2) you might suffer liver injury. Sorry.
