What is in Garcinia Cambogia?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 vegetarian capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium Carbonate | 70 mg | 5%* | The label names the compound (Calcium Carbonate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the calcium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
| Potassium Chloride | 70 mg | ||
| Chromium | 280 mcg | 800%* | Higher than 92% of 7,825 products listing chromium (median 100 mcg). Per day at the most servings: 560 mcg. |
| Garcinia cambogia extract Complexas HCAGarcinia cambogia extract Complex (Form: with 80% HCA (Alt. Name: Hydroxycitric Acid)) Genus: Garcinia Species: cambogia | 1,400 mg | Higher than 80% of 676 products listing garcinia (median 500 mg). Per day at the most servings: 2,800 mg. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- Its 280 mcg of chromium is higher than 92% of the 7,825 chromium products that print an amount; 631 list more.
The NIH database records 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
