Healthy Natural Systems
Garcinia Cambogia Extract

Healthy Natural Systems Garcinia Cambogia Extract fell into our number two spot just below our top supplement. This product has a few good points, but failed to live up to a few of the standards we have set to be the best. It only contains 500mg of Hydroxycitric Acid, which is less than the recommended 1600mg daily serving. In addition, it also contains added ingredients that can dilute the formula and render it less effective.

Is HNS Garcinia Cambogia Effective?

While most formulations of Garcinia Cambogia are effective if they contain pure Garcinia Cambogia and at the 1600mg per day dosage, this formula only provides 500mg of Hydroxycitric Acid and they further dilute the formula with Chromium. We referred to the product website and other retail outlets to take a look at customer reviews. This product received a lot of reviews, but were mostly negative. This product received a few two or three star reviews, but most of them received only one star. We decided to take a deeper look into why this is happening.

The negative reviews we found, focused on the fact that the product did not work and when we took a look at the product label, we noticed that the product failed to provide a strong potency of HCA, as stated in the recommendations for a quality Garcinia Cambogia supplement. This could explain why so many consumers failed to experience the results that they had hoped for. That said, there were some positive reviews also. The product also failed to provide any ingredients that would aid the absorption of HCA. A simply extra, but a missed opportunity by this manufacturer. Educated consumers clearly understand the need for the correct dosage to be included and the low potency will undoubtedly put some people off. This is why it is so important for companies to follow the clinical studies and the recommendations they provide.

While negative reviews are not a bad thing, what the company does to rectify consumer complaints is very important. We could not see any communication from the company back to these un-happy consumers and the product remains unchanged in its formulation.

This product is sold as a single bottle with no multi-bottle discounts offered. While it already has a competitive low price for just one bottle, the lower price could also mean a lower quality product. Also, there is no money-back guarantee posted. Having a money-back guarantee means a manufacturer stands behind their product. It shows they have taken the care and detail to produce a quality product and if consumers are unhappy, they can return the unused bottles for a full refund. When there is no guarantee, it as though the manufacturer does not have confidence in their own product.

The Bottom Line: We cannot say for sure, that Healthy Natural Systems Garcinia Cambogia is effective for two reasons. One, it has a considerably lower dose than the leading brand. Two, it contains added ingredients that can dilute the formula and render it even more ineffective. It may work for some people, those with high metabolisms, but for the majority, we think that there are better stronger products out there.

Is Healthy Natural Systems Garcinia Cambogia Safe?

Healthy Natural Systems Garcinia Cambogia contains 500mg Hydroxycitric Acid per serving. Even consuming two of these daily, the dosage still falls short of the effective 1600mg per day for optimal benefits. As the capsules are a lower dose, there is an increased risk of people overdosing by taking too many capsules to help speed up results. It is very important to stay within the recommended guideline of 1600mg per day of Garcinia Cambogia for safety reasons.

They also add Chromium into their formula. The safety of Chromium combined with Garcinia Cambogia has not been tested. There is no way to tell if Garcinia Cambogia and Chromium have any drug to drug interactions or adverse effects when taken together. It is always best to take 100% Pure Garcinia Cambogia with no added ingredients (unless for added absorption). This includes no fillers or binders as well.

Summary

In our opinion, this product needs a few tweaks, it could be so much better with a few simple tweaks. It needs to increase the potency of the HCA is contains and increases the amount per daily serving. It may also be more effective if the company made it with Pure Garcinia Cambogia without the addition of Chromium. With the negative reviews on the website, we had no choice other than to place this product in our number two position.
