Honest Company
I have not yet tried this product, but I can tell you, as a loyal Allstar Health customer and a person who has studied nutrition for over 40 years, this brand is one of the few that sell garcinia cambogia whose recommended amounts on their label and, moreover, percentage of hydroxycitric acid (60%) and mg. of this active ingredient actually correlate with real double-blind studies. Studies I've read indicate an efficacy dosage of 1500 mg. extract, not total mg. per day. So this brand, Top Secret, contains 750 mg., 60% hydroycitric acid (equal to 2 capsules) 2 times daily, a total of 1500 mg. of extract--in line with the studies. However, you will NOT see results immediately. The studies were conducted over a period of several weeks. The individuals who benefited indicate, as in all double-blind studies (if it's not double- blind it's not scientific) a significant percentage of people and, statistically speaking beyond what is referred to in science as "margin of error"--in short, not a coincidence. The price of this product is actually quite competitive, considering its legitimacy. If a company does not list percentage of active ingredient, in this case hydroxycitric acid, as well as the amount of miligrams of extract, it is not worth purchasing. Read the studies, which you can obtain via any search engine, and you can see for yourself. Incidentally, the product also includes white kidney bean extract, which I have not taken the time to research as of today.
