Weightloss

In late2012, a United Statestelevision personality, Dr. Oz, promoted Garcinia cambogia extract as a"magic" weight-loss aid. Dr. Oz's previous endorsements have oftenled to a substantial increase in consumer interest in the promoted products.However, clinical trials do not support claims that Garcinia cambogia is aneffective weight-loss aid. A meta-analysis found a possible small, short-termweight loss effect (under 1 kilogram). However, side effects—namelyhepatotoxicity—led to one preparation being withdrawn from the market.
