One day I was bit worried about my weight and searching the internet for some weight loss techniques and supplements. Suddenly, I found a website claiming that Garcinia Cambogia is a magic bullet for weight loss.
The main component present in the peel of Garcinia cambogia is Hydroxycitric acid (HCA).
Hydroxycitric acid prevents the increase of fat in the body and slows down the emptying of stomach.

It inhibits the enzyme citrate lyase in the body which helps in the progression of synthesizing of fat from carbohydrates [2].

They also decrease the appetite by rising levels of the brain substance serotonin in the body which are recognized to decrease your food cravings.

The other minerals in supplement are Potassium and Calcium which help in escalating metabolism in the body and also lessen cholesterol levels in the body.

HCA (hydroxycitric acid) is an active element in Garcinia which promotes weight loss in 4 ways:

1. It prevents an increase of fat.
2. Slows down the absorption of food.
3. Prevents enzyme to convert Carbohydrates to Fat from food.
4. It also elevates the levels of serotonin in blood which is known to reduce appetite and regularize body sleep cycle.
5. It also contains minerals namely Potassium and Calcium which help in increasing metabolism in the body and dropping cholesterol levels.

Direct benefits which Garcinia Cambogia can produce are as following:

1. Prevents the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes and even controls it via different mechanisms. [3]
2. Fights with Cancer and Tumor, even can defeat it.[4]
3. Treats Ulcer[5]
4. Relieves constipation
5. Boosts Immune System
6. Provides sufficient staying power for the Gym work out, that you are always looking for. [6]
7. Provides solution to the problem of Sleeping Disorders such as Sleep Apnea

There are claims that Garcinia Cambogia extracts assist in weight loss and gives you a increased energy to do the important work out after office.

Garcinia Cambogia Capsules/ Tablets have revealed to substitute fat with toned strong muscles and also giving you a improved mood on the whole when you have been pressed to that stress corner in life.
And when buying the Garcinia Cambogia capsules/ tablets make a tip to check these three details:
a) The Ingredients
b) Percentage of Hydroxycitric Acid
c) Place of Production *Fake ones are out lose! So Beware!!*

Discussing about Side Effects, Side effects of Garcinia Cambogia are pretty mild.
The adverse ones include suffering from a Severe headache, Nausea, Vomiting, Dizziness, Diarrhea and dryness of the mouth.
Garcinia severely decreases the Blood Sugar levels when used regularly.
So for that reason, it’s better if the Diabetes have a prior discussion with their doctor before taking the garcinia cambogia pills/ supplement.

How to take Garcinia Cambogia is an important question. If not taken as directed than it might effect the desired results. The dosage of Garcinia Cambogia to be taken is 0.5 grams, and make sure you have it 3 times a day 30 to 60 minutes earlier to have a meal.

On the ending note, you need to make combine efforts in diet and exercise for getting the results you want to see. There are no miracles, you need to make combine efforts otherwise you will not see any impact in your body if you do anything alone.
