    It's good that you're taking care to control your weight. Suggest you go to a website called PubMed and do a search for the extract. This brings up about 5 search results. Another option is to go to the Therapeutic Goods Administration website and check if there have been any reported adverse events with the extract. Finally, and this is an important one, seek advice from a liver specialist and a dietitian. This last suggestion would be a good opportunity to discuss your overall bodyweight reduction strategy.
