Is it safe to take garcinia cambogia on birth control pills?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unregulated: Remember that diet supplements like this are not well regulated so you never know exactly what you are taking. Also the benefits of this herbal treatment are highly questionable. IF you are trying to lose weight then diet and exercise are the proven ways to do this.
