Premium garcinia cambogia ดี ไหม

Garcinia cambogia, a tropical fruit also known as the Malabar tamarind, is a popular weight-loss supplement. People say it blocks your body's ability to make fat and it puts the brakes on your appetite. Loss of excess weight could help could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, too. You'll find it in bottles on the shelf at the store as well as mixed with other ingredients in diet products.

Does it live up to its hype? Maybe a little, but it might not be worth it.

How It Works

The active ingredient in the fruit's rind, hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, appears to block an enzyme called citrate lyase, which your body uses to make fat. It also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may make you feel less hungry.

But actual weight loss results aren't impressive. A review published in the Journal of Obesityfound that people who took garcinia cambogia in studies lost about 2 pounds more than people who didn't take it. The reviewers couldn't say for sure that the weight loss was because of the supplement. It could have been from the lower-calorie diet and exercise programs the people in the studies typically followed. Better studies are needed to find out if HCA really helps people lose a lot of weight and keep it off.

Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol

Some research has found that garcinia cambogia may improve cholesterol levels, lowering triglycerides and LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and raising HDL (the "good" cholesterol). You shouldn't use it if you're already on a prescription for your cholesterol.

Possible Side Effects

When you take garcinia cambogia, you might get:

  • Dizziness
  • Dry mouth
  • Headache
  • Upset stomach or diarrhea

The Food and Drug Administration considers it unsafe. In 2017, the FDA warned everyone to stop using a weight-loss product that contained garcinia cambogia because some people taking it got serious liver problems. 

In addition, garcinia cambogia may interact badly with:

  • Diabetes medicines, including pills and insulin
  • Pain medicines
  • Prescriptions for psychiatric conditions

You definitely don't want to use it when you're pregnant or nursing, or if you have liver problems. It is possible that manic symptoms may emerge as a side effect.

To Buy or Not to Buy

Since study results are mixed, you should talk with your doctor to help you decide if taking garcinia cambogia is a good idea. 

Garcinia cambogia is a tropical plant native to India and South-East Asia. It looks like a cross between a pumpkin and a tomato. It's also a supplement that has been promoted as a way to lose weight without additional exercise or dieting.

The skin of the fruit contains a chemical called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been found to aid weight loss in animal trials.

The extract of HCA is available in powdered form or pill form and can be purchased online or in health stores under a range of names — garcinia, garcinia cambogia extract, cambogia garcinia, garcinia diet supplement, garcinia gummi-gutta, garcinia complex or brindleberry.

Does Garcina cambogia enable weight loss?

The research on people suggests it probably does not help people to lose weight or if it does, the effect is very small. It is certainly not a breakthrough, as some of the advertisements might say.

A recent study into all the research about Garcina cambogia found it had no effect on people’s weight loss at all.

Is Garcina cambogia safe?

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has evaluated the safety and quality of Garcinia cambogia, and found that it is safe to be used as an ingredient in lower-risk medicines. (The TGA didn’t evaluate specifically whether or not the ingredient works.)

Some studies have shown it can cause headache, nausea, and symptoms in the upper respiratory tract, stomach and intestines.

A few people who were taking weight-loss supplements containing Garcinia cambogia have developed liver damage, but experts are not sure which ingredient was responsible.

If you are taking Garcinia cambogia, it’s important to remember that it is a medicine. Like all medicines, it can have side effects and can interact with any other medicines you are taking. Always tell your doctor if you are thinking about taking a new medicine and why. They can then make sure it’s a suitable medicine for you, and safe for you to take.

Garcinia cambogia can be bought online, but this can be risky. Many websites are fake sites that sell out-of-date, poor quality, contaminated or fake medicines, and sorting the real sites from the fake is not easy. Visit the NPS Medicinewise website to find out about buying medicines online.

Most dietary supplements are not very effective for weight loss. If you are concerned about your weight, talk to your doctor. They can help you find a safe and effective weight loss strategy that is right for you.
