MY COMMENTS
Garcinia cambogia has never been proved to be effective in humans. Controlled studies and reviews failed to prove that it did anything more
than placebo.

Garcinia cambogia (hydroxycitric acid) as a potential antiobesity agent: a randomized controlled trial.
Fact Sheet: Garcinia Cambogia

Summary: This document gives an overview of Garcinia cambogia,
including uses, forms, common dosage, costs per day, side effects,
food-medication interactions, and safety and efficacy

Garcinia cambogia - study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Hydroxycitric acid is obtained from extracts of G. cambogia and has been
shown to inhibit citrate cleavage enzyme, suppress de novo fatty acid
synthesis and food intake, and decrease body weight gain (20). We identified
a double-blind RCT, which tested the effects of 3 g G. cambogia extract/d,
which contained 50% hydroxycitric acid, in patients with an average BMI of
32 (20). The results suggest the absence of a significantly greater weight
loss in the treatment group than in the placebo group. Two further
double-blind RCTs report effects in favor of treatment with G. cambogia
compared with placebo (Ramos et al, unpublished observations; cited in 20,
21). This is supported by a trial testing the effects of hydroxycitric acid
(22). Other double-blind RCTs, however, that tested G. cambogia extract-or
hydroxycitric acid-containing combination preparations with or without
dietary alterations (Kaats et al, unpublished observations; cited in 20,
23-25) report conflicting results. Overall, the evidence for G. cambogia is
not compelling. Adverse events are reported in the reviewed trials and are
listed in Table 1.
HCA review on Diabetic help web site
This one doesn't appear to work and might be dangerous. Still interested?
The Skinny: HCA comes from an Indian fruit (garcinia cambogia). In animals,
HCA reduces appetite and leads to weight loss.
The Evidence: Studies in humans find that it doesn't burn excess calories. A
recent well-done study found that HCA was no better at melting away fat than
a sugar pill. It's not clear that the compound even retains its activity
after it is extracted from the fruit, or whether we can absorb it.
Side Effects? Although HCA seemed to cause no problems in humans who took it
for several months, when drug giant Hoffmann-La Roche tested HCA as a
potential weight-loss drug in the 1980s, it found it caused serious side
effects in animals - including a shrinking of testicles in males.
The Bottom Line: No one can yet vouch for HCA's safety. If you want to act
as a human guinea pig, it only costs about 40 cents a day for the typical
1.5-gram daily dose. But when you balance the lack of proven results and
possible risks, the price may be greater than meets the eye.
