Garcinia Cambogia

[Mx1x1]

I read many threads on anabolicminds and reddit about Garcinia Cambogia and the majority of people I've seen say it's bunk. Maybe they used the wrong product, wrong dosage or whatever

I got 12 bottles from SNS on my way because they were super cheap so no big deal if this stuff doesn't do much

Ordered it for my gf who struggles with her weight. Not expecting much from it. If it effectively supresses appetite it's already worth it

Did you try it? How were the results? What other positive effects did you notice/does it have? Sides? Dosage and when/how to take?

EDIT: I read about liver damage too here and there. How likely is it (if true) and at what dose+duration?

Thanks in advance,

There has never been any conclusive evidence that it caused liver issues from anywhere that I've read. There are reports of less than .1% of people that used it reporting liver issues - but I never saw where they conclusively linked it to Garcinia Cambogia, and there was no way to know what else those people were doing/taking. For example, if a person is a recovering alcoholic that stressed their liver for years and has a shoulder injury and is taking Ibuprofen starts to take a supplement and then has a liver issue, was it bc of the supplement, or was it going to happen anyway bc of the other factors?

Garcinia Cambogia was always considered a good product for appetite control and supporting fat loss.

Then, Dr. Oz, a tv personality started recommending different supplements. It caused a huge popularity boost on certain ingredients. Many of his viewers were average people that didn't workout, and they were expecting something to do the work for them and when they didn't sit on the couch, watch tv, and lose weight, there was a backlash towards the ingredient from some of them.

Also, it became the 'in thing' for many people in the fitness community to hate on anything that Dr. Oz. recommended because they got tired of hearing about it and got tired of advertising by fly by night brands pushing it down their throat.

Then, to make things worse, a lot of fly by night companies started making it without barely any, if any, active concentration and were just trying to capitalize on the hype and use the cheapest raws they could to maximize their profits.

That's the Garcinia Cambogia story.

It was, and still is a good ingredient for appetite control and fat loss -. and its super inexpensive.

The 12 bottle multi-pack with the Black Friday code comes out to be around 30 bucks for a year supply.

Thank you for the very detailed explainations!
Makes a lot of sense with the liver topic and the average couch potato and his overblown expectations thanks to overblown promises by a TV personality.
Also with the bad quality products.

It really is very cheap. Can only recommend to everyone reading to pack a 12 pack to your order if losing weight is your goal

Just to add context to a foreigner on Dr. Oz...

He got 'famous' for doing a heart transplant on the Yankees baseball manager... eventually made the rounds on daytime talk shows, Oprah helped make him huge. Then got his own talk show. His show, and most talk shows honestly, are basically just the TV version of click bait articles. He was just one of the first ones to realize he could cash in on the supplement world. Raspberry Ketones was another one of the big ones he got into. He had an army of housewives with disposable income he could endless shill products to haha. If he did something, others would then copy. Unless I'm misremembering, he never really pushed any 'dangerous' products, just gave extremely unrealistic expectations, everything was a magic pill. A lot of stuff he pushed ~10 years ago then fell out of favor, even if it was stuff that would be good inclusions in full formulas.

Very good explanation.

One thing I'll add though is that I think a lot of his viewers heard what they wanted to hear. If I remember correctly with RK, he said that he had people take it for a year and they lost an average of 12 to 15 lbs. in a year without drastically changing their diet. In context, that's actually a very good result for the average housewife that watched his show.

The issue was that so many fly by night brands started overhyping it as this mega fat loss thing and that people would see major results in a month - which is not what he claimed. Like if you went off his numbers, it would have averaged a lb. to lb. and a half a month.

He definitely was trying to capitalize on his fame, but then brands were definitely trying to capitalize on his fame and saying that he said things he didn't - like the fast fat loss and things like that.

And unfortunately, the end result was a lot of people disliking ingredients that were/are actually really good ingredients.

I really like our Raspberry Ketone products. I enjoy the appetite control from them and they're a super cheap addition. I would never tell anyone to use it as their fat loss base, but they're a great cheap add on. Basically 30 bucks for a years supply on the sale.
