Garcinia Camobgia

Garcinia Camobgia, a small, pan-Asian fruit, has long been utilized in the United States and abroad in weight loss products. Its extract has been claimed to suppress the appetite and speed the body's metabolism of fat. It has been claimed that the active in ingredient in garcinia extract, hydroxycitric acid, helps inhibit the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. Rather than use the carbohydrates as building blocks for excess fat, it has been said that the extract causes the body to simply burn the carbohydrates for energy, reducing caloric intake.

Garcinia cambogia extract is one of the main ingredients in the popular weight loss supplement, Hydroxcyut, which was recently recalled by the Food and Drug Administration because of the risk of liver failure. If you or a loved one has taken Hydroxycut or any other product containing garcinia extract, contact a Hydroxycut recall attorney today to determine if you may be entitled to compensation.

Garcinia cambogia extract does not have any officially reported side effects, so any company that produces a product containing garcinia-containing products may be liable for any adverse events that result from the consumption of the extract. Side effects listed by the FDA that may be associated with Hydroxycut include liver failure, jaundice and brown urine.

Symptoms of liver failure may take weeks or months to develop, so if you or a loved one has been taking a weight loss supplement containing garcinia extract, including Hydroxycut, you should immediately contact a Hydroxycut drug recall lawyer to discuss your case.
