June 4, 2014 / Garcinia Cambogia Extract has recently been in the spotlight for its unique weight loss abilities.

The pumpkin like fruit from which Garcinia Cambogia. is derived (Malabar Tamarind), has long been used to enhance the culinary experience of certain South-East Asian dishes, and is now being labeled as an effective, safe weight loss ingredient. These recent claims have prompted a new double-blind study into the overall safety and effectiveness of Garcinia Cambogia.

Concerns of quality: After this in-depth study into the highly acclaimed weight loss supplement Garcinia Cambogia, the truth is only some people are seeing weight loss, while others see none. Click here to view the Garcinia Cambogia products which provided weight loss in the study.

The recent publication provided by the certified nutritionist and dieting specialist Ann Henderson of the American Dieting Institute, discovers how the compound of Garcinia Cambogia used, determined an individuals weight loss success or not. With the help of her team consisting of a Doctor and two Nutritionalists, Ann Henderson compiled data on the age, weight, calorie intake, and brands of Garcinia Cambogia used by 60 different test subjects. What Henderson's team found was eye-opening. The study showed that approximately only one-third of the subjects using Garcinia Cambogia extract achieved the weight loss results they expected. It was determined that this was because of the many low quality products being sold on the market as pure products," stated Henderson . The subjects who found success with a Garcinia Cambogia supplement, were found to be taking a "very high and potent brand of pure Garcinia Cambogia, which exceeded the quality of many of the inadequate brands being sold. Subjects who used a high grade of the supplement, lost up to 3x the amount of weight then the subjects who were given a placebo," added Henderson.

The Effectiveness of Garcinia Cambogia

"When looking at the data, It becomes apparent that Garcinia Cambogia is effective for weight loss, but only when the grade of the product meets the standard."

Another report recently released by the AJWL into the safety and performance of Garcinia Cambogia, demonstrates how if the Garcinia Cambogia ingested is not "of high grade," there is a likely chance of unwanted side effects, producing no weight loss. The review also goes further in explaining how over 75% of the products being sold as "pure Garcinia Cambogia" are in fact filled with potentially harmful ingredients such as: Hydrogenated Oils, Artificial Colors, and Magnesium Stearate. It was found that very few products contained the important ingredients necessary for weight loss.

How Garcinia Cambogia Works

Unlike other, more traditional weight-loss supplements such as Ephedrine, Synephrine, and Caffeine, Garcinia Cambogia is not a stimulant. It does not work by turning up the bodies metabolism, and as such does not carry the dangers of stimulants such as: Elevated hear-rate, high blood pressure, poor and irritable moods, and anxiety. Garcinia Cambogia Extract is therefore considered safe for all dieters providing a genuine compound is sourced. Since Garcinia Cambogia is not a stimulant, it acts differently by inhibiting a enzyme in the body (citric acid lyase) responsible for synthesizing fatty-acids, a process known as de novo lipogenesis. This blocks the bodies ability to store fat, leaving it free to be immediately used by the body as a source of energy.  In addition to this, it helps free already stored fat, allowing the body to burn it off quickly. The key ingredient for this process in known as HCA. 

Garcinia Cambogia

About HCA:

A natural chemical in the extract called Hydroxy-citric Acid (HCA) stops the bodies ability to synthesize fatty acids, effectively blocking fat from being stored and leaving it readily available as an immediate source of energy. Other research suggests that HCA also may act in another pathway, by releasing of serotonin in the brain leading to better overall sense of well being.

Other Findings

Purity: The purity of an effective Garcinia Cambogia supplement should always be 100%, containing no binders or fillers.

Authentic Garcinia Cambogia should not contain any binders or fillers such as, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, or titanium dioxide. Henderson also mentions that "just like processed foods being loaded with additives and fillers, the same goes for supplements. Any supplement that has additives and fillers can be harmful to your health."

HCA: The chemical compound which is responsible for weight loss by blocking fat production, and suppressing appetite in all studies surrounding Garcinia Cambogia.

Formula: The formula of a Garcinia Cambogia supplement can differentiate between brands, leading to different results. It is very important to source a proven formula to see results.

Key Factors in Evaluating Garcinia Cambogia Manufactures:

2. Purity (must not contain any harmful additives).
3. Company Reputation.
4. Third Party Testing.
5. Cost.
6. Customer Feedback.

Unfortunately because of the popularity of Garcinia Cambogia, there are many ineffective brands being sold today. When selecting a supplement of any kind, it is advised to abide by the above guid lines to avoid inferior products.
