Garcinia Cambogia Liver Damage: What Has Been Reported
Garcinia cambogia liver damage has been reported. NIH's LiverTox links garcinia products to acute liver injury that can be severe or fatal, and a 2025 review counted more than 200 liver events, including 1 death and 9 transplants. Causes are not proven for SodaSlim, which has a garcinia row, and nothing says it was involved.

The reports
Can garcinia cambogia cause liver damage?
It has been linked to it: reports exist of acute liver injury, and some cases were severe.
The NIH LiverTox entry says garcinia products have been tied to acute liver injury that can be severe or fatal (LiverTox, Garcinia cambogia). A 2025 review found more than 200 liver adverse events, 34 published case reports, 1 death and 9 liver transplants, and noted a USP caution (van Breemen 2025, garcinia liver). Searches for "nccih garcinia cambogia safety liver damage" and "livertox garcinia" lead here. A report is not proof of cause, and most involve concentrated extracts.

This capsule
Does SodaSlim's garcinia row raise the same question?
It raises the question, yes, because the capsule has a garcinia row of 130 mg at 50% HCA, about 65 mg.
We found no report naming SodaSlim, and cause is unproven for it. The green tea row is also tied to liver reports (LiverTox, green tea). The label tells you to consult a physician if you take a medicine or have a medical condition. Anyone with liver disease should ask first.
Warning signs
Which signs of liver trouble should you watch for?
Dark urine, yellow skin or eyes, and belly pain are the signs to act on: stop and get care.
Keep taking prescribed medicine. Chest pain, fainting or trouble breathing: 911.
- Racing or pounding heartbeat, chest painStop the capsules. Chest pain, fainting or trouble breathing: call 911 now. A racing heart that will not settle needs medical care.
- Jitters, shakiness, anxiety or no sleepCommon signs of too much caffeine. Stop, cut other caffeine and ask a clinician; FDA says the toxic range starts far above the daily reference.
- Dark urine, yellow skin or eyes, belly pain, nauseaCan be signs of liver trouble, which has been reported with green tea extract and garcinia products. Stop and get medical care the same day.
- Stomach pain, nausea or loose stoolsCommon with caffeine and garcinia. Stop and ask a clinician if it lasts.
- Rash, hives or swellingPossible allergy. Stop and get medical help; swelling of the face or throat or trouble breathing is an emergency.
Signs from (FDA, Spilling the Beans caffeine) (LiverTox, green tea) (LiverTox, Garcinia cambogia) (FDA report a problem). This list is not complete. A supplement is never a reason to wait.

FAQ
SodaSlim questions people ask
Is garcinia cambogia hard on the liver?
It has been linked to acute liver injury in reports, some severe (LiverTox, Garcinia cambogia). The link is a signal, not proof for every product. Tell a clinician about any liver history before taking it.
How soon do liver symptoms show up?
We found no source giving a timeline, so we give none. Watch for dark urine, yellow skin or eyes, or belly pain at any point, and stop and get care if they appear.
Has SodaSlim caused liver injury?
We found no report naming SodaSlim, and cause is not proven. It does hold garcinia and green tea extract rows, each tied to liver reports in NIH sources.
