Is Intake Of Garcinia Cambogia Safe For Weight Loss While Having COPD?
I just want to know if Garcinia Cambogia is safe? I had Open Heart Surgery at 47 years old. My Left main artery was 85+ percent blocked. I also have COPD after smoking for 40 years. Of course they didn t tell you when I was 15 that smoking would end up being the most addictive thing on earth. It was on TV, every billboard you passed, etc. It is worst than anything, but when it got to the point I didn.t know if I could take the next breath I finally quit. That was 2.5 yrs ago. I feel beeter already. Have for some time now. Can t handle being in the heat tho. After a while I just can.t breath too good. Put on a lot of weight since I quit and I can t really excersise now so I was hoping this would help. Jane

Hi,
Garcinia cambogia is a popular weight loss supplement that claims to reduce fat and cholesterol. It is actually a tropical fruit used as a cooking ingredient in many parts of south east Asia. It is quite a safe supplement. Any allergy to the contents of the supplement should be ruled out before using the drug. Other measures such as dietary modification and mild physical activity is also required to produce consistent result.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
