What is Garcinia Cambogia?
Garcinia cambogia is a small pumpkin-shaped fruit grown in parts of Asia and Africa. Its rind is used to make a supplement extract.
Why does it show up in weight management supplements?
It has been a popular weight management ingredient for years, although research results have been mixed and modest.
What does the research say?
General background is available from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements page on weight loss supplements. Research on this ingredient in finished supplements is limited, and nothing here suggests it causes weight loss on its own or treats obesity, diabetes or any other condition.
