To maintain a healthy weight, you should decrease each dose to only one capsule. The daily dose 6000 mg of garcinia cambogia is significantly higher than other weight loss supplements of its type.

Consult with a physician before beginning use of this supplement and stop if you experience any side effects.

Conclusion of Our LiveTru Nutrition Garcinia Cambogia Extract Review
We have a few positive things to say about LiveTru Nutrition Garcinia Cambogia Extract. The supplement is GMP certified and registered with the FDA. The product contains no artificial ingredients, fillers, or binders. There is a 20% first time customer discount. We were pleased to see that the website mentioned that this is not a magic pill and that weight loss is more likely when taking the supplement along with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Among the negatives that we have about this product are that the per bottle price is high at $29.95 considering it only contains enough pills for a month’s use and there is no bulk buying discount. The 14 day guarantee period is disappointing because it doesn’t allow for return of opened bottles, and it requires you to return the product back to the manufacturer within 14 days from the order date. We felt rather dismayed by the lack of transparency regarding possible side effects. Consumers need to be informed and that is the responsibility of the company. We recommend that you seek out a Garcinia Cambogia supplement with a decent guarantee, and a better explanation of uses, benefits, and potential side effects.
