Hydroxycut Fat Burner

 

Hydroxycut isn't just one product. It's a family of dietary supplements sold without a prescription as weight loss aids.

The key ingredient in most Hydroxycut products is Robusta coffee extract ( C. canephora robusta).

The Hydroxycut website refers to 2 small studies. One states that when people took C. canephora robusta for 60 days they lost about 10.95 pounds as against the placebo group, which lost a mean of 5.40 pounds. Both groups were on a reducing diet . the opposite small 8-week study showed that those taking "C. canephora robusta lost about 3.7 pounds versus the placebo group members, who lost 1.25 pounds".

Is Hydroxycut fat burner Safe?

Hydroxycut fat burner maker, Iovate Health Sciences International, says it puts raw ingredients through extensive quality assurance procedures.

 

In 2009, Iovate recalled Hydroxycut after the FDA got reports of liver problems, seizures, and a muscle-damaging condition called rhabdomyolysis. Those products aren't on the market anymore, and Hydroxycut fat burner products not contain the ingredients that were in question.

Unlike drug manufacturers, the manufacturers of fat burner dietry supplements don’t need to show that their products are safe or effective before selling them.

The warnings on Hydroxycut labels say the products should not be employed by anyone under age 18, and to hunt medical attention if any "unusual symptoms" occur.

The labels also advise users to consult a doctor before using Hydroxycut fat burner if they or a loved one have ever been treated for or diagnosed with any medical condition.
