I was highly disappointed by this product. It claims to increase your metabolism, decrease appetite and burn fat without dieting or exercise. I have been using the MyFitnessPal app and have been dieting and exercising to lose approximately 2 pounds/week but thought that I would try this product for 30 days and see if it would help give me a boost. I did not see anymore results than the hard work I was putting in. This product is a complete rip off.

I'm sure most of you have hear of Garcinia Cambogia, its a weight loss supplement that was widely advertised. I received this sample from Nature Wise after some confusion cause by a 3rd party promoter. I had seen so many advertisements for this product that I was getting ready to pass it off, but when opportunity knocks I answer the door.

Lets take a look at what they claim:

Now the first thing I did was look up hydroxycitric acid since I had no idea what it was. It is a derivative of Citric Acid and that I know what is (i'm sure most of you do too, citric acid is what they put on those sour candies to make it sour!!)

So, now it was time to dive in and to see if this actually works. I started this project with a friend, and neither of us even made it through a week of taking this supplement.

I made it five days. Yes I realize that isn't a very long time and some would say that isn't long enough to write a review. However, this is why I didn't make it very long. Three days in, I suddenly felt very sick. I figured that its fall and winter is coming that perhaps I'm just getting a cold, so I passed it off as nothing. Day four and five I spent sleeping in the bathroom puking. I then decided that I had the flu, and that its just the time of year so I didn't think nothing of it.

My friend who was joining me on the journey wasn't sick. She wasn't having any problems. however, she wasn't loosing any weight either. When she had found out that I was super sick, she pointed out something. No one, not a single family member, friend, or coworker was sick. and she asked me to stop taking the supplement.

I will not blame the supplement for me being sick, however it seems more than likely. I stopped taking it on the morning of day six. and by day seven I felt 100% fine. When I texted my friend this she no longer felt comfortable with taking it and stopped as well.

Neither of us had confirmed results of weight loss, and were both turned off from trying to take this product again for a longer period of time. It could of been a fluke that I got sick while taking it, or it could of been caused by the supplement.

Knowing what hydroxycitric acid is, I do see that its possible for me to get sick from it. It can have very negative effects on some peoples stomaches, or for those that have a deficiency in Arginine Vitamin; they can have a harder time digesting those forms of acids.

To close, I wasn't impressed. Neither was my friend. I do realize that it is potentially possible for my friend to of gotten some great results if she had continued to use it. But we are both too nervous to continue on. I wouldn't say anything bad against it, I would just say that it is not for everyone, or more specifically not for me.

I wish all those luck on their weight loss journeys and feel free to email me your results and any special tricks that you think stand above the rest!!!

I would also like to thank NatureWise for the opportunity to try their product, and that I truly wished for better results. However, that have a lot of people that have shown and proven their results so please check out the other reviews on their amazon page!

I gave this product a try.. & its complete garbage! Didn't loose any weight or inches. A whole bunch of bologna!
