A member asked:

Is garnicia cambogia extract safe to take if you havepolycystic kidneys?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Because these productts are unregulated and untested for purity, safety and efficacy they should be avoided. Many 'supplements' simply have none of the items they claim and others have extra ingredients. You have no way of knowing what you are getting.
