Does Garcinia Cambogia Show Up On Drug Tests?

I would like to know for certain if garcinia cambogia could show up on a drug test? I am a pilot and always concerned about taking any supplements or things that could help with weight loss in case there's something that could show up as a drug.

Okay, I'd like to know how it would cause it's all natural and if you take it and are like me on c.o. b. Which is condition of bond which requires u. a. 's and show it to the p. O. Or manager or company or like me on c.b.o. then even if it does, they are aware your taking a natural supplement and it shouldn't cause harm to failing a drug test. Also I've been taking 2 random twice a month drug tests since January and it's now June, if I had failed at the county office, I wouldn't of ever walked back out to my car to go home so........ Just stating what I know based on my 10 panel unine tests I've been taking for a while now.

U need to be very careful. There have been several FDA recalls for vitamin supplements for weight loss like what u r taking. They were actually found to have amphetamines in them. Others for sleep and calm tested positive for benzodiazepines. You can google this and read it urself.

For weight loss get a calorie counting book or web site. Ur body is like a bank where U save money at. When u take on more calories than u can burn off, then u have a savings of fat. If ur a man in his 40s or more, u should've been eating more than 2000 calories a day. Especially if u don't work out. Walking 4 miles in 1 hour, burns 300-400 calories an hour!!! Plus it increases ur metabolism for several hour afterwards.

Learn what a SERVING SIZE REALLY IS. For instance, a serving of breakfast cereal is not just a BOWLFUL, swimming in milk. If u look on the side of the box, u will see how big the serving is. About 1/2 -3/4 of a cup. Depending on the cereal. A serving of granola type cereal is about 1/4 cup. Not very much. A serving of peanut butter is 1 tablespoon. That's 100 calories. Same with mayonnaise and butter. Most salad dressings too.

Doesn't mean you have to measure things every time you going to eat something. Just do it for a while until you get used to looking at what you're serving size looks like and then you can just eyeball it. U would not have to measure it anymore. That's how you lose weight. Don't take in more calories than you can burn off. Simple mathematical science and I'm a dumb s*** when it comes to math LOL.

Eating a salad can hide calories. 1 tiny once of cheese or a pre-sliced cheddar is also 100 calories. Then croutons maybe a hard boiled egg. U could easily put together a 800 calorie salad by the time u add ur dressing. So u make a cheese and 2 tablespoons of mayo, 2 slices cheese, 2 slices bread, that's a whopping 600 calories in one measly cheese sandwich. Now if ur frying it, ad another 100 calories. 700!!! Google how many calories are in a Big Mac. U will s*** yourself.

Started eating open face sandwiches. At ur age u don't need milk anymore. It's wasted calories. Use ur calories on something else. Or don't. Lose weight faster. There is no other animal that drinks milk from a different species. It's not the 1800s anymore. Milk is merely a money maker. Not a necessity!

A serving of mashed potatoes about 3/4 cup. Gravy 1 table soon. Not 1/2 the plate dripping in gravy. Anything ur going to eat, u can google and find out how many calories and what a serving size is. Do that and u will lose weight. Walk and u will lose more. Or get a bike on ur days off push urself. Ur worth it. Don't reward urself by being lazy and eating crappy food. Lol.

Really!!! It's doesn't have to be hard. Plus u don't have to keep taking pills that u really don't know what's in them.

Funny how NO ONE who says they "failed a drug test" will further reply on the matter after being repeatedly asked WHAT they tested positive for.

Could it be...you're so BORED that you feel the urge to stir some s*** somewhere online, not giving a s*** that peoples' LIVELIHOODS are on the line?

Pathetic much?

Yeah. Pretty pathetic.

I had a hair drug screen done in July, passed it with flying colors, I started taking Garcinia Cambogia in September, I received a new job offer in October, once again I had to do a hair drug screen... I tested positive for cocaine. Never in my life have I done street drugs. When I received the call for the "positive" cocaine drug screen, I freaked out, I said that it was impossible... so I did some research... sure enough Garcinia Cambogia has been know to test positive for cocaine. That's the only new supplement I've added to my regime... I talk to the doctor that did the drug screen, he didn't want to hear me, let alone would research the dietary supplement... so now I'm out of a job... I called my regular doctor and told them what happened - they called there Lab and sure enough said you can test positive for cocaine when using Garcinia Cambogia... I will be retesting at the same facility AND getting my personal doctor involved, thankfully my recent employer is working with me, and if I can provide proof I have a great chance of getting my job back... long story short Garcinia Cambogia does come back as a false positive for cocaine...

Re: Melissa (# 12)

My mom took a drug test for dyfus and tested positive for an outrageous amount of cocaine. She does not do cocaine, though she had been taking garcinia cambogia. The dyfus lady claims shes never had a false positive read. The amount of cocaine that was in her system was as if she had done a huge line of coke and walked into the place. They won't let her retest and they told her that she was basically a liar. My mother is a good woman and these pills have ruined her life! My brother got taken away because of them and they won't believe her at all.

It would have to have tested positive to methamphetamine or cocaine. Diet pills are stimulants.

Re: Danny (# 17)

Drug testing an 87 year old woman is offensive in itself! Unless they are checking for foul play....arsenic or something. An 87 year old woman is not enjoying illicit drugs. Her energies are spent staying alive and somewhat comfortable in the process. My father is 87. The last thing he craves is a high or to get drunk. He hasn't a clue about opiates, opioids....that type of med. But, he does take suppliments. I could see him using something to aid in maintaining a decent weight. Yep, still a bit vain. Lol. But if he were in pain management and having to take ua's, I'd see if I could get his general physician to oversee pain meds. So many of these pain management policies would be somewhat degrading and undignified for the elderly. Thank God his regular doc does oversee. A 87 year old woman should not be stressed out by failed drug tests. JMHO

Re: JMJ (# 19)

Thank you... You right she's not concerned about the test her doctor knows she not doing methamphetamine but she has taken three test all positive now the garcinia cambogias is out of her system her fourth test was negative. So I started doing my research and I'm seeing a lot of people screaming out for help and I thought my grandmothers story could maybe help a few people out that garcinia cambogias is making people have false positives and my grandmother has doctor records to prove it

Re: April (# 3)

Just because it isn't a controlled substance doesn't mean it won't show up on a drug test. If it has similar properties it can cause a false positive. For example, are poppy seed muffins "controlled substances?" Of course they aren't, but they can cause you to have a false positive drug test.

Re: Comments Submitted (# 10)

It shows up as testing positive for methamphetamine. I get tested weekly at a methadone clinic and that supplement like many weight loss supplements comes back as methamphetamine. Methamphetamine and methadone are nothing to do with each other, just to clarify as some ppl are ignorant to such things.

Garcinia has phentermine in it. You test as a "false" positive for amphetimine

Re: Mac (# 33)

From reading all these other reports I think this may be brand-specific and not the Garcinia cambogia itself. They've proven time and time again that a lot of these companies are putting amphetamines in their supplements to make them more effective to sell more product.

I've been taking the supplement at pretty heavy doses for the last month-and-a-half as a surprisingly effective addition to my weight loss regimen. I never really thought about it affecting a urinalysis. I recently had to take a Florida Department of law enforcement background check of which a urinalysis was part of the process. this was a full spectrum hard core urinalysis for a fairly high-ranking job in Florida law enforcement. I passed with flying colors no problem whatsoever. so at least in my personal opinion it doesn't affect anything

Your mother, by law, is allowed to have a second, computer tomography (I think that's the name of it) test done to verify the results. They can't just take her son away without a second test to verify the results. Tell her to stop taking the pills and get a lawyer.
