on February 07, 2020

 

Man choosing between supplement bottles

In recent years natural weight loss supplements have become a popular way for people to effectively achieve desired results when it comes to their health and body goals. Many people can attribute this success to a combination of diet and exercise with natural weight loss supplements like Green Coffee Bean Extract, Forskolin, and Garcinia Cambogia.

As such, it’s no surprise that people striving to lose weight have started taking these supplements together for optimal results. This new movement in natural supplementation can be a little tricky to understand at first. You might be thinking, which combination of supplements is best for me? Which supplements are safe to take at the same time? How can I choose between the different combinations available to me?

To answer that, first you need to know the basics of what each individual supplement does, what aspects of the supplement makes it work, what potential pitfalls come with each supplement, and ultimately, which supplements can be combined to work together to achieve optimal results.

 

Green Coffee Bean Extract

Green Coffee Bean Extract is exactly as the name implies: an extract derived from unroasted coffee beans. One component of coffee, caffeine, has long been regarded for its fat oxidization, appetite suppression tendencies, and weight loss benefits. (1) In addition to caffeine and the plethora of other benefits coffee beans have to offer, they contain a biologically active compound known as chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid has been shown to reduce glucose absorption, body mass, and body fat more effectively than caffeinated coffee alone. (2)

Like many biological compounds, chlorogenic acid is susceptible to heat. Coffee beans are roasted before being packaged and shipped to a store, where consumers will buy them and expose them to further heat. This means that by the time you have that first sip of your morning cup of caffeinated goodness, the chlorogenic acid and its fat diminishing benefits are long gone. (3) Because of these challenges, taking a supplement of Green Coffee Bean Extract is the optimal way to reap the fat burning benefits of coffee.

Forskolin

Forskolin is a natural derivative of an herb called Coleus Forskohlii, which is native to Nepal. Forskolin is extracted from the root of this purple, flowering plant which has long been used as a form of Ayurvedic medicine. Forskolin is a potent extract that acts as a preventative therapy against congestive heart failure (4), a powerful way to reduce hypertension by lowering blood pressure (5) , and an effective way to reduce body fat mass (6). As such, forskolin is a potent medicine, full of untapped potential as a natural treatment for common ailments.

Forskolin Plant

While long used in ancient cultures as a medicinal plant, forskolin gained notoriety in North America in recent years for its applications as a weight loss supplement. This rare flowering herb is diverse in its benefits and boasts a high level of potency.

Due to its potency, consumers need to be cognizant of its effect on blood pressure and classification as a blood thinning agent. Consumers looking to benefit from the fat burning effects of forskolin who are on blood pressure medication, pregnant or nursing, or preparing for surgery should discuss the medicinal interactions with a doctor.

 

Garcinia Cambogia

Garcinia Cambogia is a tomato-like fruit found in the tropics of India and Southeast Asia. Garcinia Cambogia contains a powerful natural compound called hydroxycitric acid, the highest concentrations of which are found in the rind of the Garcinia Cambogia plant. While this plant has been consumed for years by people native to its region, Garcinia Cambogia has gained popularity in North America due to its fat loss and appetite suppressing effects. 

Garcinia Cambogia Fruit

What’s most interesting about the hydroxycitric acid found in Garcinia Cambogia is that upon its discovery, it was unique to the Garcinia family of plants. While studies have shown the appetite suppressant and weight loss benefits of this plant, there is still an untapped potential for this exotic family of plants in terms of health applications.

When used in human trials, Garcinia Cambogia reduced body fat in participants with no notable relationship to sex or age. Additionally, there were no apparent rebound effects on the participants after the completion of the trial. (6) With this information in mind, it’s no surprise that people are combining Garcinia and Green Coffee Bean Extract to achieve their weight loss goals.

Combining Supplements

When combining weight loss supplements, there are a few things you should consider. For example, how do the supplements affect you separately? While the supplements listed here are natural with few known side effects, they are still potent biological compounds that can effect your body in different ways. For example, Forskolin can trigger a reaction in individuals with gastric sensitivities while other individuals have no notable issues during digestion. Garcinia can cause nausea in rare cases, similar to taking digestive enzymes for the first few doses.

So, all that being said, can you take Forskolin and Garcinia Cambogia at the same time? Yes, you can. However, as with any combination of supplements, you must vigilantly pay attention to the supplements’ effects on your body and heed your doctor’s advice. When combined properly, Forskolin and Garcinia Cambogia together can serve as a powerful weight loss supplementation strategy.

As of late, more consumers have been opting to combine Garcinia Cambogia with Green Coffee Bean Extract to suit their weight loss supplementation needs. This combination provides an alternative solution to those who have a condition or medicinal interaction preventing them from supplementing with Forskolin. This combination also prevents some of the gastric discomfort experienced with other combinations of weight loss supplements.

So how do you decide which combination will work best for you? Consider your medical history, your digestive sensitivities, and your ultimate goal. Don’t be afraid to try different combinations, while taking note of their effect on your body until you find the formula that works for you. As always, combining these supplements with the recommended weekly dose of exercise and a conscientious diet will further the effects of these powerful weight loss aids.
