Vaginal bleeding wihile taking Garcinia Cambogia

Hey guys,

I know this thread is getting old now but as far as I am aware Garcinia Cambogia should not result in vaginal bleeding.  Garcinia Cambogia also has had numerous randomized controlled trials done on it. The results support its claimed weight loss benefits. The problem is in supplement variability. There have now been several brands that have been tested by independent laboratories. These tests show that the amount of active ingredient, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), contained in them is fair less than specified on the label.

That is why I think many people are not achieving weight loss with Garcinia Cambogia, because essentially they are just taking rubbish.

I am personally taking a brand of Garcinia Cambogia that is 50% standardised HCA, with added calcium and potassium for increased absorption (research has also shown the calcium and potassium increases bioavailability of HCA). I also did my research, and this product has good reviews in all the right places. I am really happy with the results I have had from it and I can definately say that it has helped me loose weight.  I found the blog below really helpful.

So my point is do your own research of the primary literature (using Pubmed/Google Scholar etc) and you will find the truth.

Cheers

Am so glad to find you guys. Started taking GC a year ago while on the depro shot. Was has break through. Thought it was my body adjusting. However, am off the shot and started taking the GC again and again break through not cool since am severely anemic. So I guess am going to stop. Too bad. Am already losing some weight

First time ever trying a weight loss enhancer aside from diet and exercise…I asked a professional chemist to recommend the most effective Garcinia Cambogia product/tablets and they showed and explained to me how and when to take them (60% HCA). I had been on them for a week (in Feb 2015) and I woke up randomly one morning heavily bleeding (Im only 27yrs, cycle no where near due). I had made a conscious effort to eat less and healthier, yet I gained 8kg, was constantly bloated, had headache's and was frequently urinating. This product SHOULD BE PULLED FROM THE SHELVES and more specific warning's placed in side effects. I think I’ll just stick to hard work and dedication as this product is doing damage physically and mentally to women who are obviously trying to seek a healthier positive outcome. Since being off the tablets and not trying hard to diet  I am back down to the weight prior to the GC tablets which is 63kg and working hard from there.  

Ive known people who has taken the garçinia pills but didn't lose weight. I was about to get them online when I found the coffee that has garçinia in it. The absorption rate from pills they said is like 1/3 slower than when it's in liquid form. (Imagine drinking tequila and see if you don't feel the effect in 20mins.) now with the garçinia in my coffee, I lost 6lbs in 2 wks and I'm back down to a 0 size from 3-4 changing job in a year that made me gained those lbs. my clothes are looser and can wear my size 0 clothes again. My husband is close to 200lbs and lost 8lbs in 2wks. He lost 4 lbs more from recent doctor check up.

I am going to find out how I can sue the f**k out of this company. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE SHELF IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

Hi, I am a late to trying the GC! I started Feb. 23 and I noticed some light pink spotting...then a week later here comes the real blood. I wasn't sure and i searched to find an answer, because I have never had an irregular period or anything.  I called my gynecologist and she said to stop taking the pills for a few days to see if it will stop.  I am only on the first day of not taking it, but reading your posts I feel like i have figured out the problem. I will keep everyone informed after the next few days.  Thanks for your posts!

I am 48 and havent had a cycle in about 8 months.  I started taking Garcinia Cambogia and after a about 2 days I stated with a dark brown discharge that quickly turned into a lot of blood.  The next day I bleed and clotted.  So immediately googled side effects of the pills and found your comments....Im no longer going to take the pills and thanks everyone for your insight and honest comments!

Yup same thing as me! Started taking garcinia cambogia a few weeks ago. I've been on birth control for 3 years and never spotted before, I'm on week two of birth control so I have another full week of pills before my periods due and I started bleeding this morning. Glad to know I'm not the only one out there with this problem, I'm not taking the pills any longer.

Yes its true garcinia make early period

I've been taking garcinia cambogia pills and now that I'm on the 2Nd week I started bleeding vaginally, dark blood and also little clots....The crazy thing is that I just went of my cycle a week in a half ago

how long did it take the bleeding to stop, I've been off of the gc for Two days and still have massive clots

3 or 4 days after stopping the pills, mines went away

Hi ladies i would firstly like to thank you all as i started freaking out this morning when i discovered breakthrough bleeding at first i thought great my cycle is here but then i realized my cycle has not shown for now an hour since the breakthrough, im experiencing light period pain cramps but nooo period is here . I got my bottle of pills this monday took 2 before meals then i decided to stop taking them Thursday morning after i discovered i put back on the weight i lost!!! I weighed 184lbs and went down to 179lbs a week before by exercise and eating healthy most days of the week. This week while taking the pills decided to weigh myself to finding a shocking 182lbs on the scale i put on 3lbs in three days.....definitely flushing these down the toilet
