Hydroxycut

Hydroxycut contains the following ingredients: Caffeine, Green Tea, Guarana and Garcinia Cambogia Extract.

While this formula is advertised as being a high-octane weight loss formula, it uses some fairly benign elements, with the exception of Caffeine, which we will discuss a bit later. Green Tea Extract, which also contains a fair amount of Caffeine, is used to jump start energy levels, as well as try to burn fat more effectively. It is actually a low or moderately affective element, but it is not on par with other more effective fat burners, like Advantra Z. Gynemma Sylvestre is used to help manage blood sugar levels in users, but we actually prefer to see GTF Chromium used, because it has been shown to be far more effective in converting sugar into energy instead of fat.

Garcinia Cambogia is actually a fruit that is native to India and much of Asia, and it is used in this formula because it contains Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), which is purported to be able to help block the body from converting carbohydrates into fat by directly and quickly inhibiting ATP-Citrate Lyase, an enzyme. However, a recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that HCA, when used in high dosages, had no affect on participant’s weight loss. Therefore, the inclusion of a high-quality and proven appetite suppressant, like Hoodia, may have been a more effective choice.

We would be remiss if we did not mention that Hydroxycut has some side effects associated with its use. Some users report on consumer sites and formulas that when using Hydroxycut they experienced the following side effects: increase heat rate, elevated blood pressure, dizziness, blurred vision, hyperactivity and acne. Some of these affects can be directly traced back to its excessive use of Caffeine. Caffeine in general, is an inefficient fat burner, because it offers users a quick thrust of fat burning ability, but it quickly begins to degrade, which limits its overall effectiveness.

• Contains Green Tea

• Contains low and moderately performing weight loss agents
• Does not contains a high-quality appetite suppressant
• Contains Caffeine, which may cause some negative side effects
• These products have garnered a lot of negative consumer commentary, which can be read on this popular Hydroxycut blog. If you are interested in more information, you can read another Hydroxycut review by Sensational.com. For a third opinion check out Hydroxycut here.

In the end, when you cut through all the hype regarding Hydroxycut, its clear that it is just another Caffeine-driven weight loss product that can offer users an initial burst of thermogenesis, but cannot go the distance to promote long-term fat burning. This is why experts often suggest going with formulas that contain proven fat burners like Advantra Z, and effective appetite suppressants like Hoodia. While Hydroxycut may still appeal to some, we recommend that that those consumers who are compelled to give Hydroxycut a try make sure they order from a retailer that offers a full, no questions asked money-back guarantee—just in case the product isn’t all it claims to be.
