Appetite & diet
Here are glucomannan, garcinia, psyllium and other fibres, and chromium supplements. Glucomannan has an EU-authorised claim: within an energy-restricted diet it contributes to weight loss when 3 g a day are taken in three doses with 1–2 glasses of water before meals. Chromium has an authorised claim about the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
Garcinia and other plants have no authorised claims. Take fibre with plenty of water.

The claim's condition is 3 g a day in three 1 g doses, each with 1–2 glasses of water before meals.
Is there evidence that garcinia works?
There is no EU-authorised claim for garcinia, so we do not describe an effect.
Why take fibre with water?
