What Is The Right Dosage Of Garcinia Cambogia To Be Taken?
I received my just received my first order today of Garcinia Cambogia. The manufacturer recommends 2 tablets, three times a day. If I was to take 6 tablets daily I would be consuming 9300mg. However WWW.WWWW.WW lists 1,500 mg a day as the maximum dose. Could you please advise. Many thanks Brian

1. There have been no studies showing negative Garcinia Cambogia side effects,but possible concerns to look out are:
i. In Ayurveda Garcinia Cambogia is known as 'vrikshmala' used in curries and in stomach problems and since it is a natural fruit thus the extract from this fruit shouldn't be too expensive, so if your bottle [single] costs more than $60, be sure that the manufacturer has added some unnecessary preservatives/ additives." [caffeine and artificial binders contributing to the side effects]]
ii. HCA [hydro citric acid] present in garcinia cambogia helps in weight loss, and is a serotonin booster which helps alleviates depression and regulates mood.
PS. after repeated studies it was found that 60% of HCA if present in the product is effective thus if your bottle doesn't have any mention of HCA do not buy next time.
iii. 400 or 800 mg or more of Garcinia Cambogia extract, taken one hour before meals three times a day is sufficient [i.e. 1200 to 2400 mg]
iv. since Garcinia Cambogia side effects have been reported with supplements not made in the USA, be sure to get your supplement from a certified lab in the USA."
PS. "60% HCA concentration is recommended." and make sure you take garcinia cambogia with a probiotic like buttermilk
. If you are not sure about exactly what quantity of Garcinia to take, you may call your local supplier for further guidance or you can inform your doctor of your decision to use this supplement.
