^[1] G cambogia reduced abdominal fat accumulation in subjects, regardless of sex, who had the visceral fat accumulation type of obesity, and no rebound effect was observed. It is therefore hypothesized that G cambogia may be useful for the prevention and reduction of accumulation of visceral fat. ^[2]The evidence from RCTs suggests that Garcinia extracts/HCA generate weight loss on the short term. ^[3]  The testing carried out in 2 primary hypotheses in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial: (1) G cambogia produces a greater reduction in body weight than placebo, and (2) G cambogia produces a greater reduction in total body fat mass than placebo. G cambogia, hydroxyl citric acid, has beneficial weight and fat mass loss effects.
