One of the hazards of researching so many supplements is that you become a target to be bombarded by their ads on social media. Sometimes it can be a good thing when something truly new and exciting comes out. But a lot of the time, it’s junk, which brings me to Slimera Garcinia Cambogia. For the last couple weeks, I can’t go near Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram without getting plastered with advertorials for this stuff. Finally, I cried “uncle” and decided to write a review already. What I found was entirely underwhelming, and if you read on, I’ll explain how.
Slimera Garcinia Cambogia is one of dozens, maybe hundreds, of weight loss supplements that use the hot trendy ingredient garcinia cambogia. Ever since Dr. Oz talked about it as a potential game changer, everyone and his cousin is putting out a contender. There may be some evidence that garcinia can help with weight loss (though it’s far from conclusive) but just like with any ingredient, the doses and delivery methods have to be right. This is where we’re not so sure Slimera Garcinia Cambogia, or to be fair, most of the others as well, gets it right.
Slimera Garcinia Cambogia Benefits
You’ll find most of the garcinia supplements lay claim to the same list of benefits, and in this way, Slimera Garcinia Cambogia is no different. According to their website, it can:
- Slow down the conversion of carbohydrates to fat. It does this with its fat blocking enzyme called citrate lyase. Instead of fat, the sugars in your body are turn to energy.
- Reduce leptin levels produced in your fat cells, which produces hunger. This has the effect of suppressing your appetite. It also helps control cholesterol levels.
- Increase serotonin levels. This is a natural feel-good chemical released from your brain. Steady and sufficient serotonin levels can help curb emotional eating.
There is even talk that Slimera Garcinia Cambogia can help you lose weight and you don’t even have to diet or exercise. Don’t listen to this. It’s terrible advice. In order to maintain a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle, there’s no getting around the need to eat right and exercise regularly.
Slimera Garcinia Cambogia Ingredients
Like a lot of other supplements these days, Slimera Garcinia Cambogia doesn’t share a full ingredient list. They mostly talk about the garcinia cambogia component and make passing reference to some other ingredient “types” that might also be included.
The most important component to the Slimera Garcinia Cambogia formula is the HCA that comes from the rind of garcinia cambogia fruit. (1) HCA stands for Hydroxycitric Acid. This is the compound responsible for all the benefits listed about. It helps release serotonin. It suppresses appetite. And it prevents carbohydrates from being converted to and stored as fat. Most sources recommend that you use HCA at a 60% concentration. Slimera Garcinia Cambogia uses 50%.
Additional ingredients alluded to but not explained in any way are antioxidants and vitamins.
Articles About Slimera Garcinia Cambogia
If you decide to look into Slimera Garcinia Cambogia yourself, you’re likely to come across what looks like an article in an online magazine called something like “HealthWatchers” or “Health & LifeStyle.” Don’t be fooled. It’s not an article. It’s an elaborate advertisement using before and afters of both celebrities (think Kim Kardashian) and everyday people who’ve supposedly lost weight using the “miracle” combination of Slimera Garcinia Cambogia along with a Cleanse and Detox supplement. They refer to a OK magazine spread where they claim Kim K used these two supplement to lose 42 pounds. Don’t believe it. If you’d seen this article 6 months ago, you would have seen all the exact same claims, only with two different supplements. Don’t ask me how they get away with it. I have no idea. All I know is that it’s all lies.
Where to Buy Slimera Garcinia Cambogia
The only way you can purchase Slimera Garcinia Cambogia is by finding one of their free trial offers online. You can usually link to one through one of their “fake review” websites. They tell you it’s a “free trial” but guess what, that’s a lie too. You provide a credit card number to pay for a small shipping fee, and they send you a full 30 day bottle. Buried deep in the fine print of the terms, and purposely made place to get the least notice, you’ll see that unless you call them within 14 days to instruct them otherwise, they’ll charge you the full $84.97 for the “free” bottle you already have, and they’ll send you a new bottle at that same price every month until you cancel.
There are a lot of supplement that use this tactic, but this one may even be the slimiest I’ve seen. In the terms, they don’t write that you’ll be charged “$84.97.” They write it out as “eighty-four dollars ninety-seven cents.” I find that to be extra sneaky. If you’re looking through the terms quickly, wondering if there will be a charge, you are probably looking for a dollar amount, not a string of words that when read carefully indicate a dollar amount.
At this time, Slimera Garcinia Cambogia is only available for purchase through the free trial offer. It’s not in stores like GNC, Walmart, or Vitamin Shoppe, and you can’t get it through online retailers like Amazon.com.
Slimera Garcinia Cambogia Pros
- The ingredients appear to be all natural.
Slimera Garcinia Cambogia Cons
- You can only get it through the “free” trial offer which is anything but free.
- It’s expensive.
- It’s advertised in fake articles trying to make you think Kim Kardashian uses it.
- It doesn’t contain the recommended concentration of HCA, the main ingredient.
Conclusion
Slimera Garcinia Cambogia is just another supplement scam. There’s no reason to pick this one above the hundreds of others you can find online. Effective weight loss aids do actually exist. You just have to wade through a lot of garbage like this to find them.
