the garcinia cambogia review

Garcinia Cambogia is the new grapefruit of the decade. As a recently discovered fruit for weight loss, many scientists and fitness enthusiasts are all eyes on it to see how far its promising benefits can really work permanently and safely when in supplement form. Garcinia Cambogia is no longer new to people who are constantly looking for possible solutions to their long-time battle with weighing scales. But surprisingly, it is more popular as a weight loss aid than a fruit itself.

I will try to cover as much ground as possible in this review, but note that a more comprehensive review is available at the GarciniaCambogiaReviewshq.com site directly. On the site, you can find additional articles about the side effects and how well this supplement works for weight loss.

Common but not endemic to the Southeast Asia region, it also grows in the rain forests of Africa, Australia and some parts of the Pacific region. As a fruit, it looks like a mini-pumpkin with ripened citrusy color. For many years before its discovery of mainstream scientific community, natives have already been using it for food and medicine. But although deliciously tempting, it has been used chiefly by the natives as a remedy to several diseases, obesity included, more than as a food.

Today, finding a supplement primarily made of Garcinia Cambogia is easy because of the immense and intense marketing support it has been receiving, both from non-profit organizations and businesses. Its appetite-suppressant and fat-burning properties are undeniably enough to stir the whole industry into action. However, the support and promotions it has been receiving does not guarantee absolute effectiveness since there are still some issues to be resolved before it can be fully applied into conventional medical use.

First, while looking for a review that focuses mainly on brand than the raw ingredient itself might give mostly positive results, there is still no consensus of its safety as far as the medical community is concerned. Although there are some studies concluding that average people have good tolerance level of Garcinia Cambogia’s main chemical component, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), another set of studies observed bothering complications that border on the dangerous level. Already fatal diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes also showed manifestations of worsening condition when patients took a certain dosage of Garcinia Cambogia extract for a fixed duration.

Second, it is proven that HCA is an effective appetite suppressant by regulating increased production of serotonin in the body and decreased cortisol production. Serotonin is a “mood hormone” that balances emotions and sleep, which in the process can prevent sudden attacks of cravings. This is especially beneficial to “mood eaters” or those who have tendency to eat more when undergoing emotional problems. Cortisol, on the other hand, is known to be the stress hormone which can slow down metabolism and burn up muscles instead of fat.

Although highly promising, the effect of Garcinia Cambogia on hormone production is not entirely positive. Based on medical rules, all foods, natural or synthetic, that have direct or indirect effect on hormone production, should not be considered 100% safe and effective unless medical findings come up with a definite answer. Hormone is a very sensitive issue in itself because small imbalances can easily lead to fatal complications, such as cancer.

So far, many experts believe that Garcinia Cambogia can really help in battling obesity and excessive weight gain. Many people have already seen results. But as long as it will remain in supplement packages and not on medicine bottles, the controversies and issues surrounding it will not be settled.
