Dietary Supplement Garcina Cambodia, An Addict That Has Urinalysis Testing For Drugs. Is This Safe?

I ordered the dietary supplement Garcina Cambodia. There are ingredients such as Microcrystalline Cellulose, gelatin, vegetable magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. Main ingredient is extract from Garcinia Cambogia. I am an addict that has urinalysis testing for drugs. IS this safe for me or will something cause me to have a positive test for drugs?

Hi,

As far as urinalysis is concerned, I do not feel that the ingredients that you have mentioned in the garcinia cambogia supplement can cause a positive drug test. However, it may cause nausea, digestive tract discomfort, and headache. There is no research data on whether there are any interactions between garcinia and drugs that you might be using. There is also no data on use of garcinia for more than twelve weeks. In my opinion, you can try it for some time and see if it works for you.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
