    Methodology

    Randomized placebo-controlled trial of Garcinia cambogia extract with dietary control in obese women over 60 days

    Key Findings

    Triglycerides fell significantly in the treated group, but no significant effect was seen on body weight, BMI, fat mass, resting metabolic rate or respiratory quotient.

    Conclusions

    Short-term Garcinia cambogia produced a hypotriglyceridemic effect but did not change anthropometric or calorimetric fat-burning measures.

    Limitations

    Small sample, short 60-day duration, single-centre.

    Outcomes Measured

    No significant response was observed on other variables of the lipid profile, or on the anthropometric and calorimetric parameters
