A Little History
In April of 2004, the FDA issued a ban on all ephedra-based products. After reported side effects of insomnia, strokes, heart attacks, and even several sudden deaths; the FDA had no choice but to intervene. As a result, this brand recalled millions of bottles along with every other ephedra-based supplement on the market.
Yet, just a few months later, Hydroxycut was back on the shelves. This time without ephedra. Within a few years, these ephedra-free products became some of the best-selling supplements in America. All seemed right with the world, but it wouldn’t last.
In 2009, cases of liver damage began to mount against the company. When one case was alleged to have led a fatality, the FDA’s hand was forced again. In May of that year, the FDA issued a warning to consumers everywhere to stop using these products. In response, the company conducted a voluntary recall and pulled its products from the shelves again.
A New, Safe Formula
By the end of the year, new, reformulated products emerged onto the market again. These new products were supposed to be just as effective as their predecessors and a lot safer.
Despite the past controversy, Hydroxycut products quickly regained popularity. They are now known for being some of the best-selling weight loss supplements in the U.S.

I am 21 years old and have a slender/hard body. I have been going to the gym for 2 years religiously now and I still have belly fat nothing crazy but still i want to show my abs. Would this product help or is it overboard for what i want, just reduction in my belly fat.

I just dont know about this pill. I still dont feel a thing when taking it. i dont get thirsty and my heart does not speed up. Yet i do feel much hungrier. It may be because my heart is going faster then i realise so i need the food for energy. I really dont know. I think it is working though as i have had alot of comments on how i have lost weight. i still need to improve my eating habbits and exercise more so i cnat imagine how much ill lose once i start improving both eating and exercise.

I have 50 pounds to lose. I bought this product because of all the claims that it works. Being 40 years old, I know that losing weight now will be much harder than it was when I was 20, so I was looking, not for a miracle, but for help. I changed my diet, cut portions, count calories, I drink 10 bottles of water per day, and I walk, daily. I started off only being able to walk to the park and back (about 4 blocks), now I am walking more than a mile a day, and am adding distance to my daily walk every week. I feel much better, I do not get winded when I walk, my legs are solid, but after 2 months and 2 bottles of this pill- coupled with my diet and exercise regimen, I have lost zero pounds- ZERO. I would give up, but I like my daily walks, and the healthier eating habits are good for me-- but I wanted to lose weight! I am tired of wearing a 2x, I am tired of being a fatty. The claims that are made here that this pill works- may be true in their cases, but in mine- it is not the case. I do not have the side effects as described above- I am not seeing results- and after 10 weeks, and 2 bottles of these pills, I see no reason to keep taking them, waste of money.

I honestly think this product is not for sensitive people, I'm 5"5 and 190 pounds at 22 i've lost 20 pounds with a diffrent product and have lost 10 pounds on my own by calorie counting and now that i know how to eat i have not gained any weight back. With 2 baby boys and a husband to take care of, working out is dificult in my home. I diet well but when it comes to my kids and husbands leftovers, I cant help it but to eat them, so i think this Hydroxycut will do wonders for me, i'm thinking of getting a gym membership in the next week, but i'm going to need the energy! I do good with caffein because i drink about 3 cups of coffe a day to try to keep up with my children, so again i think Hydroxycut will give me that extra motivation and push towards my goal............. I'm going to get it today because i think its the kind of product that will work for me based on peoples good and bad reviews people do your research, there is not one product out there for everyone, 2 pills of Nyquil gives my husband a diferent affect than it gives me. good luck to everyone!

I have tried hydroxycut and believe it to be good to suppress your appetite and to give energy. You will need to drink lots of water and still need to eat well and exercise but the product is good for temporary energy and to suppress the appetite of anyone who eats to often.

I want to start off by saying the product does work and you will lose weight BUT the side effects on me are not worth the risk. I became light headed, jitters and felt nausea.

Ive taken both pills and the powdered singles you pour in bottled water for around 6 weeks now. ive lost 32 pounds by taking this and a low calorie diet and very minimal workouts. i drink about 8-10 bottles of water a day and never feel dehydrated. doesnt give me that crazy jittery burst of energy from the caffeine in it which i think is what 2 cups of coffee worth? i think its a good product and i will continue using it. my brother is also using hydroxycut powders and he is down almost 40 pounds.

People, the product works, but I only gave this product a 4 simply because the product doesnt work by itself. You got to do a lot on your part too for this to work. I have read through years of reviews on this and have seen the goods and bad sides of this product and what I have narrowed down is either people tend to take Hydroxycut but either eat the same bad foods they had eaten before, or they eat healthy foods but do not establish a good diet routine in their eating simply because they eat larger quantities in their diet. I have also read in reviews that people will take this product and run and exercise only a few times a week expecting results to happen in 2 weeks. Its NOT going to happen! This product doesnt make you loose weight by itself. You have to establish a very good diet and exercise often and keep it up, but you dont have to push yourself or over-exhaust it. I have only used this product now for 1 month, and already I have gone from 278lbs down to 267lbs in 1 month. To some it doesnt seem a lot, but considering what I do, Id say it is. Heres what I do to average off about 10lbs a month. I eat 2 FiberOne bars (30% fiber each) in the mornings with 2 Hydroxycut pills 15-30 mins prior with a full glass of water. Excellent way to start off your day. I then 2 hours later take another 2 pills of Hydroxycut and then I either eat a turkey/chicken sandwich with veggie trimmings *you can make your sandwich however you like* For DINNER, I grill in a pan of olive oil, either 1 or 2 thin sliced bonless/skinless chicken. I cook in a microwave a can of mixed veggies, or corn, or green beans for my side. THATS it. With another bottle of water. Two hours later, I eat a banana or yogurt for my snack. Sometimes I substitute this as a snack in the afternoon prior to dinner. This is what to what I meant by establishing a good diet while taking Hydroxycut. If you do something simple like this diet, eating 3 to 4 times daily *to rise up your matabolism*, you will see results within 2-3 weeks of using this product. Dont be surprised if you dont see much of a change on the first bottle you buy. I had to buy my second bottle to actually see this start working fully. I dont even exercise much a day. I walk a brisk walk for 2 miles, and run anywhere from 1/2 mile to 1 mile Monday - Friday and the weekends I relax with no exercising. Simple. But people, this product does work! You just have to be patient with it and do something about your body as well. You cant just take it and expect miracles or magic to work. No product out there does that unless you risk taking steroids illegally. lol

I have been wanting to try this product for a few years, I finally was brave enough to try it, even though I have read nothing but horrible reviews. I ignored them and tried the product anyway. BIG MISTAKE! I guess it should of been a sign for me to NOT buy the product, when I couldn't even find the diet supplement on the Walmart shelves. *Ugh* I finally asked a Walmart employee to assist me into findin it. A big wast of my $20. Ok, given that YES this is my FIRST and LAST day. Only because, the side effects for me, was NOT worth it. I work 2nd shift, so I wake up around 9am, took the pill - and ONLY ONE pill around 9:30 before breakfast. And at first I didn't feel anything, and then an hour later, I had this BURST of energy- which was great. I went out for a run, came home did some hip hop dancing, and then I didn't feel hungry, but my body was telling me to eat something. So I ate a granolla bar. And then... that's where it REALLY started to hit me. I had HORRIBLE mood swings, I got mad at my dog for NO reason! Yes not kidding. I felt my heart beating really fast, I had a hard time breathing. I drank a lot of water, and just ignored it...hoping it would go away. I got to work, I work at a call center, so I'm on the phones all day- sitting down. OMG............................. probably the worst day at work. EVER. I felt moody, dizzy, heart was racing, short of breathe. My body was confused, if it was hungry? Tired? or WHAT NOT?! I don't know! I couldn't believe that ONE pill could do this to me. I kept drinking water, but that only made me go to the bathroom. For lunch I had a turkey sandwich from subway (6 inches)...and I could NOT finish it. Took 3 bites...and felt sick. I did eat some fruit, which seemed to help me, and had some brisk lemonade. I worked a 10 hour shift, so you better believe it was the longest 10 hour shift, especially with all these side effects. FINALLY my last hour of work, this damn pill FINALLY wore off. And I was hungrier than ever. I went to Mcdonalds and had a mcdouble, because I felt that was the only thing that could make me feel better! I am not over weight, I am 4'11'' and 135 lbs. I am petite, just wanted more toning. And THIS WAS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO. I will stick to working out, and eating healthy. Hope this helps, good luck to you. If you're dare enough to try it, hopefully you won't have the same side effects as me.

Ok for everyone that is saying it makes them feel sick, you MUST drink tons of water while using this product the reason u feel sick is because it's dehydrating u, it's basically a caffeine pill.. Duh! Drink 2-3 liters of water a day and ull feel amazing!

I see the commericals about all these diet supplements like hydroxy and jillian michaels diet, but once i read all of the reviews and the side effects the users have, it draws me away from even trying it. I just don't understand why people pay so much money for so called "diet" supplements when working out (no matter what the work is) is so much easier. The side effects are what scare me : not being able to sleep, dizziness, getting nauseous. Once you stop using the pill you gain the weight back is what i'm mostly reading, yea it's no different than working out and eating the wrong foods but i'd be more comfortable doing that than get hooked on a pill. I would want to be hooked on working out than relying on a pill to do the weight lose for me, maybe that's just me. All i know is i would much rather spend the money on a gym membership and have it be worth it than spend money on a pill that would do you more harm than good being on it AND off of it. You pay money to lose weight, once you stop using the pill you gain it back... so what's the purpose??
