Truths & myths : Does Garcinia Cambogia really losses weight?

Garcinia Cambogia was a buzz word in the year 2012 to 2014 and still 100k people around the world is searching for this product. Before we start, we need to know what Garcinia Cambodia is. Garcinia Cambogia is the fruit produced mostly in Southern-East of India, Indonesia and few places in South Africa. Garcinia Cambogia is the scientific name of the fruit, but it has various names in various places. In India it is called Gumi-gutta, Malabar-Tarmarind etc. The taste of this fruit is sour, the local people, use this cooking curry and it brings extra test to curry according to the local person. When I was in Kerala I have tasted this Gumi-gutta. Surfing the internet I came to know about the effectiveness of Garcinia Cambogia extract which Dr. Oz promotes. I actually become very excited as I tasted the fruit not knowing the effectiveness of the product. I research more and more and dug in deep and what I found was really un-expected of me.

Myth about Garcinia Cambogia:

The Garcinia Gummi - Gutta has Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA, which produces Citrate lyase enzymes and this enzyme helps to reduce fat stopping the work of some other enzyme which is responsible for hungriness. An American doctor named Dr. Oz promoted this product in his TV program. He inspired people to take these fruit extract to burn their fat and to lose weight without any diet or regular exercise. He told that 60% of HCA that high doses of HCA burn fat and Garcinia Cambogia extract has more than 60% HCA and which is very effective for overweight people to lose some of their weight easily.

Dr. Oz’s Prove Vs Clinical trials:

Dr. Oz did not research on this fruit rather than he uses a proved trial on rats and it showed that it works on rat but not on human beings. There are a few clinical trials on Garciania Cambodia and it proved that it doesn’t work at all. It is just a myth. US National Library of Medicine proved that high doses of Hydroxycitric acid loss two or three pounds of weight in 8 weeks. In 1998 it was given to 135 people just for trial and it did not produce any significant result. 8 doctors monitored this trial, including Dr. Heymsfield, Allison, and Nunez etc. This result was published in the journal “The journal of the American Medical Association”.  In a CNN interview, Oz told that he acts as an entertainer in his TV show. People actually eager to hear from him so he promotes products which he found good. He is also not affiliated with those companies. Some people also call him “Snake Oil Seller”.

Does any weight pill work?

Weight loss pill does not work as they promise. It is not considered as a medicine by the USA government and so they don’t clinically test this product. Actually herbal products are not considered as medicine, so like garcinia Cambodia there are lots of fake products whose are cutting the edge of your pocket giving you false hope.

Trials & News:

There were 23 clinical trials on Garcinia Cambogia and the report of 9 trials were acceptable and all the trials proved the same result that it reduced 2kg weight in about 12 weeks. According to “Lab Door” research company In the USA there are 29 Garciania product, company and its 22 products failed in its first attempt and later it was tested. Among the 29 products only 4 products have HCA 1000mg or above, in percentage 60% or above. Most of the product’s HCA is 42%, though they say they have 100% HCA or 95% or 60%. According to “Lab Door” CEO, Neil Thanedar most of the products are poor quality as the FDA doesn’t consider it as medicine so the company also care less about the quality of the product. Even sometime many other side effective compositions are found in those products. There were no significant results in “Lab Door” clinical research too. Actually, all are media hype.  

Why this weight loss pill is media hype?

Because of the demography and living standard of people two third of USA people are overweight and it is a big problem to them,  So they try to get healthy body and it is a market of 30$ to 701$ million dollar. In 2014 the weight loss market was 59.8$ billion dollars and in 2019 the Global market would be about 207 billion dollars which will increase 6.9% since 2014. So it is a big place to earn money easily as no product has yet made by doctors or scientist. In 2009, 2, 20,000 people in the USA have done Bariatric Surgery which is very costly.

There are tons of reviews on Garcinia Cambogia around the web and you will find lots good reviews too. Let’s see how they get good review…. There are many people over the internet trying to earn money and Cambogia Company has given them an opportunity to promote their products. Even they pay  45$-150$ for selling one product throughout their website, so thousands of people around the web, writing good reviews not to research the web and checking out this product.

Many product companies also offering free trials just for one five star review and have you ever heard about the review writer? If no, then learn from me, there are lots of people who love writing paid reviews. In various freelancing website, product seller post jobs for writing paid reviews and hire review writer. For every review seller pay him money. One good thing seller do that, is he also give direction to write good or bad both kinds of reviews with a good ratio. Suppose of Amazon, if we browse amazon product we see lots of good and bad reviews out there, anyone who bought any product from amazon can write reviews about any of the product, this is their business strategy. So before you buy any product you much research about the product and try to find out the real reviews.
