Overview
Hydroxycut™ began as a diet pill but has burgeoned into an entire product line. The products range from Instant Drink Packets® to Weight Loss Shots®. Hydroxycut™ is available with or without caffeine depending on one’s tolerance for it. Basically, Hydroxycut™ suppresses the appetite and speeds up the metabolism. By eating less and burning more calories, users should be able to lose weight, especially when the product is combined with diet and exercise. The makers of this product claim that it has lasted on the market so long because it works. In fact, the manufacturer goes beyond a money back guarantee by having a contest where users of the product can compete to earn a modeling contract and appear on one of their commercials. Hydroxycut™ suggests an exercise program and a healthy diet should accompany use of their product. The official website offers exercise plans, meal plans, and recipes.
Ingredients at a Glance
There are a variety of ingredients in Hydroxycut™ depending on the formula one chooses but for the most part, they are similar. All of the formulas are ephedra free, but use various types of tea for caffeine content. The caffeine-free formulas contain the same blend of teas, but in a decaffeinated form.
Ingredients in Focus
The nutrition label for each Hydroxycut™ product is available on the official website. Basically, there are similar ingredients in each product. In addition to several minerals and chromium (a weak appetite suppressant), they each use Garcinia Cambogia which is also an appetite suppressant. This ingredient is derived from a plant grown in India and South East Asia. Gymnema sylvestre levels blood sugar levels, helping to suppress one’s craving for sugar. Rhodiola rosea extract improves mental performance and provides energy. Finally, Hydroxycut™ contains a blend of White, Green, Oolong teas, and Ginger for caffeine and metabolism stimulation. The caffeine free formulas contain the same teas but decaffeinated versions.
Positives
• Hydroxycut™ offers a complete plan for the individual including diet and exercise.
Negatives
• Taking too much of a Hydroxycut™ product at once may produce adverse health conditions.
• Hydroxycut™ can be quite expensive depending on how much one uses.
• Hydroxycut™ by itself may not produce desired results.
Final Thoughts
The longevity of Hydroxycut™ definitely works in their favor; they’ve been on the market longer than most diet pills. Their line of products offers the dieter a choice between caffeinated and decaffeinated products. Moreover, one can choose to take Hydroxycut™ in the form of a diet pill or in the form of a beverage. Hydroxycut™ recommends diet and exercise while taking their formula and even helps the dieter by providing recipes and exercises which may help the dieter lose weight. Interestingly, nearly all of the success stories are from individuals that look like models, so it is unrealistic to expect that one’s results will always be similar. The bottom line however, is that the product relies on caffeine for fat-burning, and does not contain a modern appetite suppressant. Despite the product's popularity, there are better products available in the marketplace for those who know good ingredients.
