Does Garcinia Cambogia Really Work Or Not?

Garcinia cambogia is gradually climbing its way up to popularity due to claims that it can help burn body fat and lose weight. It is sold in supplement form and people who want to get their bodies in good shape are buying them. However, the question remains “Does Garcinia Cambogia Really Work?

What most people do not know is that Garcinia Cambogia is actually a fruit-bearing plant. Known in the scientific world as Garcinia gummi-guta, it is a tropical species of Garcinia that grows in Southeast Asia, India, Africa and coastal Kerala.

The Garcinia cambogia, while popularly known as a weight loss supplement fruit, can be used in other ways as well. Its fruit is traditionally used in cooking particularly in preparation of curries. The fruit extract of Garcinia is used in many traditional recipes in India, Thailand, Malaysia and Southeast Asian countries. Consumption of the Garcinia cambogia fruit can provide specific health benefits such as improved digestion and blood circulation. Natives in Southeast Asia and India claim that the Garcinia cambogia fruit’s sour flavor activates and stimulates digestion.

Aside from food preparation and cooking dishes, the extract of garcinia cambogia is used in traditional medicine. It is sometimes used as a purgative. The fruit rind of garcinia cambogia is sometimes used in making medicines for curing specific diseases. Natives who live far from cities resort to using mixture of medicine herbs that include garcinia cambogia for help cure and prevent diseases.

Recently, Dr. Oz promoted Garcinia cambogia as an aid to weight loss. This has led to an increase of public interest in garcinia cambogia supplements. This started a debate whether or not garcinia cambogia can help someone burn fat and lose weight.

Going back to the question “Does Garcinia cambogia really work?” It can actually be answered by going back to its health benefits. Since Garcinia cambogia extracts activate and stimulate digestion, this also contributes to an increased metabolic rate. A stimulated digestion (with the aid of Garcinia cambogia) can help burn and break down foods. The increased rate of food digestion prevents the body from storing fat, therefore, preventing someone from gaining any wanted body weight.
With regular exercise, the weight loss effects of Garcinia cambogia can significantly increase.

Perhaps, it would also be good if you are going to look at its effects in the long run. Garcinia cambogia is also rich in anti-oxidants which keep harmful free radicals away from your body to ensure that you are always healthy. Regular consumption of garcinia can help keep your digestive system healthy and your body safe from any disease. The weight loss effect is more of an icing on cake.
