Don C. Haddox –
So, I will be upfront in saying that I did receive a free bottle of this product and was asked to write a review; they did however ask that I be honest – and I will reiterate that my review is not/was not ‘purchased’.I reviewed the data that was available online for Garcinia Cambogia (GC) and the overwhelming majority of data seems to indicate that it can serve as a pretty impressive supplement in weight-loss strategies – IF you take the recommended dosage of a quality product. Taking the wrong dosage or a low-quality product is likely just throwing money away.For me, the pertinent talking points:High quality product with 3rd party verification of ingredients/concentration – that is HUGE;Efficacy:Part 1: I only took the ‘intro’ dosage of 500 mg 3x/day for a couple days prior to switching to the full dosage. I noticed no differences in appetite or weight in those initial 72 hours (but I didn’t expect to)Part 2: I have lost about 6 pounds in 2 weeks, but I also made some sweeping changes at the same time. I had put on some weight from a period of inactivity (due to surgery) and wanted an efficient way to take it back off. For me, that was about 10 pounds over ‘ideal’ weight (targeting ~ 175# at 5’11”). My changes also included decreasing alcohol consumption to nearly zero (from 2 beers/day) and increasing high intensity anaerobic exercise from almost zero to 8-10 hours/week. So in my mind’s eye, I likely can attribute around 1 pound per week to the decreased alcohol and another pound per week to the increased exercise, leaving ~1 pound per week from GC – which would indicate that it is working as claimed. I want to note that I have made zero changes to my diet though; while my normal eating routines might not mirror the majority of Americans, it hasn’t changed – I eat a 8+ servings of vegetables/fruits per day (mostly vegetables), eat fat, eat meat and eat dessert, but try to limit processed foods as much as is practical.Part 3: I have experienced a marked decrease in actual hunger (one of the claims is appetite suppressant) so much so that I really just don’t feel hungry even during meals.Part 4: whether it is because of other things in life or attributable to the claim of increased seratonin levels, I’m in quite a good mood. Of course, seratonin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier so if I am feeling ‘happy’ those seratonin levels are being created in my brain, rather than consumed – but in your gut it is supposed to do a whole wealth of other things including regulation of aging and bone metabolism and as I noted above, I’m coming back from a surgery and was secretly hoping for some “natural healing” as a ‘side effect’.Pills are easy to swallow;I saw some people noted pill size as being difficult and that is nonsense – I definitely throw both in my mouth at once and they go down quite easily with just water. They are nowhere near as large as some of the multi’s out there plus they are made of that gel-cap material. I suppose you could still empty the powder into a glass of water if you have some sort of difficulty in swallowing.Why not 5 stars? It would have had to have done something I never expected in order for me to give 5 stars – i.e. be some miracle drug and I think that if someone is looking for that miracle drug, you are likely barking up the wrong tree by looking at ANYthing natural. Miracle drugs are just that – drugs; non-natural and likely not very good for you long or short term. This is a supplement, and from my experience a very good one that does exactly what it claims. I recommend it as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle and I believe that it likely does assist in healthy, natural weight loss with minimal or no side effects.

Before I talk about the product, I wanted to give a brief background on my age and frustrations with the ever growing stomach area.I am 65 now and over the past 5 years, I have seen the stomach gradually get larger. I was actually eating less and healthier but it was so hard to lose an inch, even with exercise. In the past, I was able to shed the pounds by going on a very restricted low carb diet (similar to the old Dr. Atkins diet.) Now, I was reducing the carbs, walking more but my pants kept feeling tighter.Even my wife, who saw my eating regimen couldn’t undesrtand why I was getting heavier?About 2 months before trying the garcinia cambogia, I was using raspberry ketones from Vitacost, and that didnt seem to be giving me any results.I had known about garcinia but had never tried it, so I did some research and saw favorable reviews on Amazon for the Naturewise brand, and ordered a bottle of 90 from Amazon. It came with a coupon inside for a free bottle. I started to take 1 before each meal 3X a day for the first week.I also increased my intake of water (this is crucial to the success of the supplement, but more on this later ).I increased it to 2 tablets before each meal 3X a day for the second week. The bottle said to take it 30 min to 2 hours before a meal. On average, I was taking it 45min to an hour before with a full glass of water.Wanting to up the amount to 3pills a few days before the 3rd week, I had a setback. Within 20 minutes of taking 3, I developed a very bad headache, with pain generating on the left side of my head, Thinking I upped the dosage too fast, I backed down to 2 before my meals, and there was no negative effects after that.At the end of the 3rd week, a great rep from Naturewise called me back, as promised, and we discussed my experiences with the product.I explained about the headache, and Nessa asked me if I was hydrating myself sufficiently. She gave me a great tip, which is so easy to remember:You take your weight, divide it by 2, and thats how many ounces of water you should be using. I needed to take about 30 more ounces a day. Here, I thought I really stepped up my water intake, but it was about a quart too low. I was also advised to try 3 again before my biggest meal, with ample water and see how I do. She asked if I had any other questions or concerns. I explained that while I wasn’t using a scale, I did start to see a difference with my pants, as I needed to use the next hole on my belt, and that was a huge motivational result for me.I can’t begin to mention how impressed I’ve been with the support from Naturewise. I take many supplements for my health, but to have someone there to call or email for help or questions about their product , is huge and shows they stand behind their product and genuinely wish to see you achieve success in a healthy manner.Since Ive ramped up my water intake, I haven’t experienced any other ill effects from taking 3 before a meal. I know its a slow go, due mainly to my metabolism, but seeing some results has given me the will power to continue using the product. I am still on a low carb diet, and hope the combination continues to produce the desired results. Remember though, drinking enough water is key to the success of using this herb.My thanks again to Nessa and Naturewise for their time and support.

I did my homework and researched many different companies to make sure I was getting exactly what I needed. As many of you have learned, by web browsing, that there are many companies out there who are offering Garcinia Cambogia. I knew exactly what I was looking for and made sure that it contained 60% HCA which makes a big difference on how it will function. I am very happy to say that I’m especially grateful to have found NatureWise. NatureWise products are completely natural. So, that means that you’re not taking in any extra “junk” or fillers that you’re body doesn’t need or may have an allergic reaction to. I already suffer from allergies, so didn’t need or want anything else to aggravate my allergies.Here’s my review of Garcinia Cambogia. I actually started logging my process once I began taking these supplements. Prior to taking Garcinia Cambogia, I was already working on my exercising. I do moderate exercising which mainly consists of cardio, aerobics, and weight strengthening. I do this 3 times a week for an hour. In the beginning, I saw a little weight change, but not a whole lot. I was totally fine with that because where I noticed big changes was in my clothing. Yes, inches not pounds. I actually went down 2 pant sizes. Unfortunately for me, as I started building muscle mass, my clothing started to fit a little snug and I also noticed that my appetite increased. I was snacking like crazy. So, I did my research and bought Garcinia Cambogia.Began regimen on 4/14/14 with initial weight of 228lbs. I followed the directions as stated on the bottle. Week 1 – took 1 pill 1 hour before each meal. Easy peasy. Week 2 – took 2 pills 1 hour before each meal. Not too bad. Week 3 – started taking 3 pills 1 hour before each meal. I had to increase my water intake – this is very important. During this time, I did not notice any changes in regards to pounds, but I did, however, notice changes in my clothes. Again, my clothes were beginning to fit looser. Remember, I started gaining weight from snacking.As of today, 5/29/14, I have not lost any additional pounds, but I have maintained the weight I initially lost. Due to the excessive snacking that I was doing, I had actually gained 4 pounds during the first few weeks of staring Garcinia Cambogia. This was not because of the Garcinia Cambogia to be clear. I was eating way too much and snacking prior to starting. Garcinia Cambogia took a little time to start working for me, but the constant snacking that I was doing has finally slowed down. That’s a plus! So that means the Garcinia Cambogia is starting to work. It looks like the amount of time it takes too see a difference is different for each person. Some people notice changes rather quickly; unfortunately for me, my process will be slower, but I hope that it continues regardless if it is at slower pace than most of you users out there. I am remaining positive. I am back down to 228lbs. I have noticed a big difference in my belly area. It’s not poking out so much. I will continue to use Garcinia Cambogia because I can tell that it’s doing something for me; it will just take time. Good luck to you who are considering taking these pills and those who are already working hard to shed those pounds and inches!

{Updating this review years later. Almost 2020. I never update unless I get mad about it later on. Still using it. Got down to and am maintaining my goal weight (114-117lbs 5’3 started at about 170lbs before Garcinia). See 3rd photo. This was all with minimal exercise or just daily activity. NOTHING extensive at all. It’s all about the diet and portion control. If I’m really busy or I run out and go a week or two without these I can tell. I get hungry faster. I get full slower. And I always want a snack. This really helps me maintain my weight and my appetite. I don’t need to “graze” all day or think about my next meal. My portions are much smaller just because that’s all I need now to feel full and I only have seconds if it’s something really good, not because I’m still hungry. 100% recommend. You must try it for 1.5 months before you say it doesn’t work. It needs a little time to get properly into your system. I take these pills twice a day. Two with lunch. Two with dinner. Eight ounces of water each time. 30 minutes before I eat (more than 30 is better than less than 30 if I’m not sure on time). For me, the price is a lot easier to handle taking 4 a day. Definitely start with that. The 180 bottle lasts a little over a month. Worth it. Leaving my original review below so you can tell it’s all real.} It’s difficult to say. I had been previously taking Garcinia from another supplier with AMAZING results! Then they changed their formula and it just stopped working. I had to find a new supplier. The first was a total scam. Then I decided to look on amazon and read their reviews of suppliers instead of looking on the suppliers website to get REAL reviews. I decided on two suppliers to try. Naturewise and one other. I started with Naturewise because it has the best reviews. It’s not as good as what I used to take. I know that. I used to take only 2 pills twice a day. These people recommend up to 9 daily! That is too expensive and not practical. I started with 4 a day like I used to. I got sick. Headaches and stomach pains which are 2 known side effects. I decided to stick it out for a week anyway. It got better but was not gone. Went one more week. I no longer feel those side effects. Maybe my body just needed to adjust to the change in ingredients. I have not gained weight sice starting these 2 bottles ago. I lost a bit and am now just holding weight. This could be because the pills are not as good or could be because I am so close to my goal weight. The bigger you are, the easier it is to drop pounds. Once you get smaller it becomes more difficult. I also notice cravings and the need to graze here and there which I did not have at all with my previous supplier. My portion sizes to get full also increased slightly. I upped my dosage to 5 per day. It seemed to help but then went back to how it was so I went up to 6 which is my current dosage. It hasn’t been long at all so I don’t know if it’s helping but I can’t keep upping my dosage every month so I hope this does not become a pattern. I will see. I do think that they should put more garcinia and less filler in their pills to cut back on how many you need. 9 a day is crazy and expensive. But overall, this product does have at least some true Garcinia in it and does help with lowering portion sizes, not needing to graze or eat small things all through the day, and with cravings for sweets or othef junk. Is it the best Garcinia product out there? I don’t know. I haven’t tried enough suppliers to tell. For now it is helping me hold my weight so I will continue to buy. I will probably try a few more suppliers to see how they compare before I decide to stick with these guys for good. But do know that Garcinia Cambogia DOES work. It really does. It helped me lose almost 60 pounds that I know I would not have lost otherwise. It WILL lower your portion sizes without you even realizing because you will feel just as full! It WILL help your brain stop thinking about snacks through the day or feeling the need to “graze” aka snack through the day. It WILL help you avoid cravings. And it WILL help you shed the weight if you eat healthy and stay away from the junk. I did not exercise at all! That being said, not every supplier sells true Garcinia so please read reviews before trying. If this is your first time trying Garcinia than this product will work for you and you will see a difference! It just might not be strong enough for long time Garcinia users. So yes, I would recommend it right now because I currently do not know of a better supplier. If it makes your head or belly hurt stick it out for a week and see if it eases up like mine did. And maybe once you see what Garcinia can do you can start trying other suppliers and see what else is out there. I have attached my oldest before photo and my most recent after photo. Yes, they are REAL! You can tell by the tattoo that they are both the same person. But keep in mind that 80% of the weight I lost was from using a different supplier. I only 3-4 months ago started using Naturewise. I did lose 7 pounds or so on Naturewise alone and this is towards the end of my goal so the pounds come off slower. I just want you to see how well Garcinia in general works. 100% recommend Garcinia to anyone struggling to lose weight. Oh and WARNING- do NOT buy from Islands Miracle on here. They are my previous supplier and as amazing as their product was they RUINED it when they changed the ingredients. It is worthless now. Do not waste your time or money. Research Verified is also a fake supplier with fake reviews. I will adjust my review in the future and update if I stuck with Naturewise or found a better supplier. Good luck! I hope Garcinia helps you as much as it helped me!
Anissia villa –
This is my second try, a mix of a 48 hour fast, & these. So far im okay! Although I am hungry I have NO cravings which makes it alot easier for me im currently in my 15th hour of this fast and i feel fine otherwise, look forward to see more results if any but honestly the stop of cravings is good enough for me!

I came up with a full change using this and other things that has been very effective that I wanted to share. First, this is very affordable, and though this requires a lot of money in supplements, please also remember that if you are overweight you are probably spending $400-$600 a month in food, and this will absolutely save you money at the store and restaurants. So what you put in to the supplements you can easily get back out at the end of your month by not purchasing as much to eat.* NatureWise Raspberry Ketones Plus+ Weight Loss Supplement and Appetite Suppressant (now on called RK+)* NatureWise Green Coffee Bean Extract 800 with GCA Natural Weight Loss Supplement (CBE)* NatureWise Garcinia Cambogia Extract Natural Appetite Suppressant and Weight Loss Supplement (GCE)* Now Foods B-12 (B12)and finally, for the workouts, make sure to get:* McDavid Waist Trimmer (raises your body temp and really gets you sweating to burn more calories)The RK+, CBE, and GCE all help appetite. The B-12 helps with a slow metabolism to help jump-start it. True enough that there is no magic supplement, through many sources of “every little bit helps” we will get to those magic results you want. I crave a lot of food at night, the worst time, and could gain 5 pounds from half a pound of chocolate, so I’m speaking from the heart.1. First wake up, take CBE, GCE, GCE, with a full glass of water2. Wait 45 minutes and eat breakfast. Seriously. You wont lose weight unless you eat soon after waking up, this wakes up your metabolism and gets you started. Breakfast is a MUST. To help keep cost down, I drink an “Equate” brand chocolate shake found right next to the slimfast. Oddly enough, the Equate is actually made with less chemicals too.3. For lunch time, take GCE, GCE, again with a full glass of water.4. Take the B12 and place it under your tongue and let it sit there like you were slowly sucking on a cough drop. DO NOT swallow this tab or you are wasting your time/money. Suck on this and wait for 45 minutes, if its taking too long, chew it very thoroughly and let it dissolve in your mouth.5. Each lunch and then take RK+ to help curb future hunger for the next 4 hours. Ive discovered this product helps tremendously, for short periods of time and you can only take 2 a day, so use them wisely when you know you over-eat. For me it is at night, so I save them for later in the day.6. Dinner time, take CBE, GCE, GCE, once again wait 45 minutes and then eat.7. I wait for at least an hour or two and then take my final RK+ to really make sure I can go to bed without feeling hungry.Notes:You MUST wait the 30-45 minutes before eating. This gives your body time to digest the supplement so that its effects can change your real time hunger sensations. You will notice the feeling of slight nausea you get from really over-eating. As long as you arent actually sick, this seems a normal occurrence that happens to me once every other day or so.If you are finding you are having a hard time waiting the 45 minutes, then you need to adjust your schedule, set an alarm on your $200 dollar phone if you have to, and take it sooner so that you can for the next time. If you take the supplements and then eat right away, they will eventually have the same effect, but by then you have probably eaten too much as per usual for weight problems, and it will be too late.The B12 can really be taken anytime during the day, but I really like using it during one of those 45 minute waits because it helps trick my mind into thinking we are eating when really we arent.How to save the money back:Breakfast can be the Equate brand knockoff of the slimfast shakes. Good amount of calories and ultra cheap compared to a meal.Lunch, I recommend the Amy’s brand frozen ANYTHING. It all taste great, you will only spend $3-5, and very few items have more than 400 calories.Using the RK+ effectively and strategically for YOUR body when you need it most will help you not eat as much food, and that of course saves you a lot of money.I eat no less than 1500 calories a day. (1200 if female). If you do not eat at least this much, guess what, you arent losing weight again.BREAKFAST, EAT ENOUGH CALORIES, WAIST BAND w/ MODERATE EXERCISE AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK FOR AN HOUR, this can be very effective overall plan. Lost ten pounds the first week, second week my body leveled out a bit, but I am still looking at a loss of 2-3 pounds. My goal is just to lose 2-5 pounds every week and I think this will be very successful in the long run.

So I read the review about Garcinia Cambonia (not this specific brand) and saw Dr.Oz show and wanted to give it a try. Also I notice people complaining about gaining weight, note that this also helps lean muscle, if you do exercise you may not notice big change on weight but maybe on inches.My profile: I’m 5’8 and weighted 222 when I started with this pills, I Was 248 before. I was stuck between 222 and 219 for couple of months so wanted to try this and see I can get out of that.Pill doze: I’m following Dr. Oz recommendation and I think is the same as this one. For fat lose is recommend 3 (1500ml) 30-60 minutes before meal but no more than 3000ml per day. I take 3 by lunch and 3 by dinner with a bottle of water. Please drink a lot of water, no soda or juice. If you want juice go and buy the fruit. Juice are as bad as Soda. Eliminate sugar and maybe have a little on the weekend as rewards. :-)FoodBreakfast: usually a banana, apple and a fiber bar. Except on Fridays that I have hot breakfast (eggs, bacon, and sausage) and water.Lunch: Salad with spinach, chicken breast, 2 boiled eggs, dressing, and cheese. Also something I eat whatever I fell like. Plus waterDinner: M-F protein shake after riding my bicycle or exercise and weekend whatever I feel like.Activities: I do mountain biking 4 days a week for 7 miles each day and if the weather does not allow me then I’ll go to the gym and do the static bike for the same distance. Total is around 40-50 minutes.Weekly update**4/4/2014 Started with 222. First two days my body felt little weird getting use to the pills but I started noticing that I don’t get that hungry as I use to.**4/11/2014 Current at 216. Still having issue taking the pills due to the size but by seen the results i can keep going. is helping me by controlling my hunger and more energy. Got 6 pound down and also my pants are getting lose. Clothes shopping soon!! :-)** 4/30/2014 Current at 215. After couple of weeks I see no change. I only take it the days I don’s do exercise because it does help me with my hunger. beside that I don’t see doing anything elseSummary: after testing for couple of weeks this pill only help for controlling your hunger. that’s why I give it 3 stars. If you want to lose weight the best way is to controlling your food and keep track of your calories. They are multiple phone apps that will help you with this. Hope this helps and good luck on your journey!!
reader of many books –
DeGe– NatureWise Garcinia Cambogia Extract Natural Appetite Suppressant and Weight Loss SupplementThis is a little long, but each effect I list–was significant, not just a mild effect.I haven’t taken diet pills in the past, but decided to try NatureWise Garcina Cambogia 180 count after reading the reviews. I read the reviews of other Garcinia products before I chose NatureWise. I like that the company is located in the United States, contains no fillers or artificial colors.And for those reviewers that told their positive, honest experiences–I really appreciated that. I order a lot from amazon, but this is my first review I’ve written, so I understand that some of you may have written your first and maybe only one. I have shared my experience with 5 friends who started taking this.I have sensitivities to chemicals, smells, and allergies to different things. So I am careful about what I take.I also read the negative comments and am sorry it didn’t work for some.Now I will give my honest experience, not exaggerated or any added fluff.I have been taking Garcinia Cambogia Extract 180 by NatureWise for about 2 months with no negative side effects, only benefits. I make sure I take it at least 30 minutes before I eat with full glass of water, and drink a lot of water throughout the day.The customer service is truly sincere and very helpful. I received my free bottle and appreciated it cause it gives me a good chance to see how well the product works. The coupon was already in the box, so no one influenced me to give this review. I am happy to share how this has helped me, just as I have with my local friends.I also tried the Green Coffee Bean 800. They work well together, but even the times I would forget the Green Coffee Bean, Garcinia still worked.I was wonderfully surprised by the results on many levels. Some totally unexpected.Even if I don’t lose weight— and I am confident I will—even if I didn’t, I would still take it because of the following benefits:*Curbs appetite, Cut cravings and enhances taste:—-From the first few days, I noticed it changed my taste–in a good way—my taste-buds are more sensitive to flavors. I eat slower cause I taste the flavors of my food more accutely. I eat less and am satisfied. Garcinia cuts my craving for sweets and after a few sips of a beer, I dont want it anymore.I don’t have a hunger crash at 10:00 and 2:00 and need to eat. I hunger more for greens instead of meat, where I used to be a big meat eater. I still eat it, but less meat is satisfying.*Better digestion:—–Beginning with the first day, it helped my digestion. I am one of the unfortunate people who had the gallbladder removed and still suffer bloating, diarrhea, and still can’t eat some foods. For the past 10 years, I’ve had to take a digestive aide each meal to control those things. Sometimes, taking Imodium more than once a day.*NatureWise Garcinia Cambogia—changed that. I no longer have to take a digestive aide. I rarely have to take Imodium. From the first dose of Garcinia, No bloating, no diarrhea….*Losing inches—-Even though I didn’t see the scale changing much, I’ve had co-workers telling me for weeks that I am losing weight..they could tell…the scale isn’t moving much, but my body is changing. I noticed it in my clothes. I felt different from the beginning, lighter is the word that comes to mind. I measured when I started–I’ve lost an inch off my waist, though I have not stayed on a diet. I wear jeans that I couldn’t wear a month ago and haven’t been able to wear in 2 years. I know if I watch my diet better, I will lose weight more quickly.*Gives energy, Uplifted mood and calmness—–It makes me calm and puts me in a good, happy, mood and gives me energy…it doesn’t make me jittery, but just energy to keep on going. Instead of sitting on the couch when I get home from work, I rest a bit then, get up and do more. I know an hour or so after I take it, I will be in a calm, good mood, feeling energetic. I call them my “Happy” pills. Things don’t stress me as much. People who used to irk me….don’t. Situations that caused some anxiety, don’t now.*Sound sleep— From the first day of taking it, that night I slept more deeply.I look forward to losing 35 lbs. and enjoying all these benefits while I do it.

So far I like this product and can see results. I have only been taking it for about a month, as I have finished my first bottle, and I noticed that it is effective as an appetite suppressant, and I love that I can take it after 3 pm since it is a non-stimulant. I have been eating a lower calorie meals in smaller portions and watching my overall intake as a whole for about 4 months now. I decided to try this product because I have very little time or energy to go to the gym and was not seeing results by just changing my eating habits. I do try to take the stairs when its an option, and walk a couple times a week but it is difficult to find the time to be consistent. My goal is to get my figure back…the curves have filled in and I was looking frumpy and shapeless.Since taking this product I have noticed that I am less bloated and “mushy” around my midsection, and I feel thinner in my clothing and there is a noticeable difference in my mid-section and in my face/jawline when I look in the mirror. I can now easily feel my ribs and I can see the curve in my waist line again. I don’t count pounds because as a woman our weight fluxuates for many different reasons, and it is not a good indicator of loss for me. But I have noticed a 5 LB difference that seems to be consistent. I am 5’2″ and was 125-127lb previously, and now I am 120-122lb on a consistent bases. I was fitting in a size 7 jeans pretty snug, and now they feel more comfortable on me, and I have a few pair of size 5 jeans that I can wear, though they are snug. I used to be a size 0 and over time it has gone up so I actually have a few pair of size 3 jeans in my closet and hope to fit into them eventually, but I’ll be happy to fit comfortably in a 5/6 alsoI have ordered my second bottle and after speaking to a Naturewise representative I was given some helpful advise to make the product more effective. I was advised that consistency is key…take the pills at the same time each day and eat at the same time each day. Drink a lot of water and while you can take them within 30 mins of your meals it’s more effective when you take it 1 hour before meals so it can get into your bloodstream before you eat. I can agree with this as I noticed that taking 1 hour before meals gives me more noticeable results. I was also informed that the first month or so is your adjustment period, and if you continue taking it you will start to see more results. So I am excited to start my new bottle and follow a more close meal routine and watch the results.

If you are reading this review, you’ve probably done your research regarding Garcinia Cambogia, and know of its many benefits, and know that the supplement should contain only Garcinia Cambogia, potassium and calcium. NatureWise delivers just that. I recently went to a popular vitamin/nutrition chain store, and found their product contained several other ingredients that contribute to its having sugar, sodium and fat – and 20 calories a dose. They claim their product is “all natural” and contains no sugar, but that doesn’t add up when you read the actual nutrition details. Again, there should be nothing but the three ingredients listed above.After doing my research on Garcinia Cambogia, I bought it through NatureWise, and have had nothing but good experience since. I received the product three weeks ago. To my surprise, inside the package were uplifting and sincere-sounding inserts from NatureWise. There was an offer to receive a free bottle of whatever product was ordered from them, if you felt it was helping you. After taking the Garcinia Cambogia product for two weeks, I had pretty great results. I don’t get on the scale, and I don’t measure myself, but if I had to guess, I’d say I’d lost about 8 pounds – going by how my clothes fit, and how I looked in that horrible thing called a mirror. So, I got online and filled out the form to request a free bottle. Then was informed that a Customer Care Rep would be contacting me for further information before the request would be fulfilled – but that there would be no pressure from that Rep to buy anything else, etc. Yep, I was darned skeptical about that part! But, again, I ended up being pleasantly surprised.Sure enough, I was contacted by a NatureWise Rep the very next day, and she was lovely. Nina Johnson. 🙂 She asked why I liked the product and she gave me some more info on it, and she verified my address to ensure I’d receive the free bottle. She asked if I’d be willing to write out a review for this product, and I said yes. And that is something! I’ve never written a review on any product I’ve bought online – ever! But, I’m just so impressed by this company, NatureWise, and they need to hold on to Nina Johnson, because she is definitely an asset. She made me feel like I was talking to a caring friend. I’ve never had such a good experience with a company in my life, and I’ve dealt with many companies, as you all have.Back to the Garcinia Cambogia itself – I should let you know that I’m a female in my mid forties – going through Menopause (sorry, male readers – don’t mean to make you uncomfortable). 🙂 So, I’ve done allot of research on natural remedies to help combat the unpleasant things that come with that – weight gain being just one of them. I really did lose a significant amount of weight in two weeks – for just taking this product, but I’m not sure that is typical. Just saying… I think you need to take this product for awhile – 2-3 months before you really see results, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t lose eight or so pounds like I did right away. I think it affects people differently, and we all have different things going on with our bods. I seriously doubt I’ll lose another 8 pounds in two more weeks by just taking this supplement (though wouldn’t that be fantastic – ha, ha?!). I think I’ll have to start exercising too. Blech. 🙂 But, maybe I’ll actually start feeling like exercising with continued use of this product. It definitely does curb your cravings, and also, it just sort of mellows you out. The serotonin thing, I guess.I received my free bottle from NatureWise six days after talking with Nina. Amazing! That with the snowstorm that hit the Midwest where I live. It will get to you guys even faster, weather permitting. :)Thanks for reading. I wish you all good luck!
