Background
Garcinia cambogia (Malabar tamarind) is native to India and Southeast Asia. The rind of its fruit contains a chemical called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been studied for its effects on appetite and on cholesterol and other blood lipids associated with heart disease risk.
How Much Do We Know?
There aren’t many recent, reliable studies on the effectiveness of garcinia cambogia.
What Have We Learned?
There’s no convincing evidence that garcinia cambogia can help with weight loss or blood cholesterol control. However, one small study of overweight women suggested a possible benefit on blood levels of triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides may raise a person’s risk of heart disease.
What Do We Know About Safety?
Taking garcinia cambogia for short periods (12 weeks or less) appears to be safe for most people.
