Reviews I have read said Potassium and Calcium are ok along with the extract. What is the Chromium for?

It Regulates Blood Sugar, helps curb sugar cravings and is safe but, it is an extra added ingredient found in most of these formulas, (Dr. Oz only recommended Potassium & Calcium for better absorption)

According to the bottle, it contains Garcinia Cambogia Extract and Potassium. I take Cal-Mag every day so this does not concern me.

It is sodium. I don't know the difference between it and calcium, but this one is definitely for internal use. I use it to extract heavy metals from my body.

Yes. Google the effects of chromium. Chromium works as a natural weight loss and is extremely expensive. Not all garcinia cambogia extract has chromium in their product. We are proud to say ours does.

It has 50 mg Calcium, 200 mcg Chromium, 50 mg Potassium, 1000 mg Garcinia Cambogia. I found Amazon to be the best place to buy it. Please so not go for one of those sites that offer a bottle for shipping. I did and got burned.

This is not correct. If you go to Doctor Oz's website and read or watch about garcinia cambogia, he said among other things, that: 1/ calcium (as well as potassium and chromium) can and should be added as they improve the efficacy of the supplement (better absorption), 2/ capsules may (and usually do) contain gelatin; this is harmless.

Good question. Long answer:I have been mixing mine. I combine 1/2 cap ionic Magnesium with 1/2 cap Ionic Zinc, 1 cap Potassium and 1 cap Ionic Selenium all in 3/4 cup of water. Followed by 1tsp Bicarbonate of Soda in 1/2 cup water and (separately) 1tsp of Ascorbic Acid in 1/2 cup water. Then 20 min later 15 lateral drops of Lugol's 2% Iodine in 1/2 cup Distilled water. I did not read these directions, I do not recommend this system, although I have been following same X 1 month and it seems to work for me...so far. After all look at the combinations in one daily multivitamin. Welcome any insights or constructive comments.

There is 180mg of potassium in this product. Calcium is not listed as an ingredient in this product. I have heard that potassium aids in the absorption of garcinia cambogia. I am not sure if calcium blocks it or not.

Marisa, thank you for your question and your interest in HUMANOLABS products. While it is true, as another reader pointed out, that there is not much room left when each capsule contains almost 800mg of garcinia cambogia. However, this is not the main reason why we do not add supplemental calcium or potassium. Our garcinia cambogia is extracted in a manner that leaves it in a water soluble form. It is this factor more than any other that determines bioavailability. We have seen claims recently that warn consumers to avoid products that contain calcium as they purportedly render the active HCA useless. This is not the case. In fact, in virtually all of the clinical trials a standardized form of HCA, a calcium-potassium salt of (-)-hydroxycitric acid was utilized. Moreover, according to www.drugs.com and referencing garcinia cambogia "some salts used in commercial products are water soluble and bioavailable, and are a good source of calcium (495 mg) and potassium (720 mg)" Bottom line, bioavailabilty is very important but it has nothing to do with avoiding calcium and everything to do with getting a water soluble form of garcinia cambogia extract which as a result will also contain calcium and potassium salts. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but there is considerable misinformation out there on this topic and we hope that exchanges like this will help eliminate some of the confusion.

According to the info on the bottle, the potassium is a form of Hydroxycitrate. I hope this helps.

I am an environmental specialist and I have been taking this product for about 1 year now. I get what you are saying about the metals. The only advice I can offer is to follow the directions and not drink it undiluted. The levels are safe when consuming a healthy diet that will help to expel any harmful toxins. I also take chlorella and bentonite clay which greatly helps to remove toxins and metals from the body. I hope very much this helps a little. If you still have questions ask your doctor. They might be able to answer more thoroughly. Also, I put this in my diy toothpaste and it has helped to remineralize my teeth.
