Brief Answer:
Considered safe.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Garcinia Cambogia is considered safe to use for weight loss.
Only issue is that its results are doubtful. It helps in reducing food craving specially sweets.
If you have cravings for food this medicine can be helpful but only if used with proper diet modification and exercise.
Alone if used doesn't provide benefit.
Rarely it has been shown to effect the liver causing jaundice.
So if you see any symptoms contact your doctor immediately.
As such this medicine is considered safe.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
