Hydroxycut® Reviews

800-889-3898

Hydroxycut® is a popular weight loss supplement that, according to Iovate Health Sciences, Inc. (the maker of Hydroxycut®), can help individuals lose up to 4.5 times more weight (when used with diet and exercise) than diet and exercise alone.

Many Hydroxycut® reviews from men and women have raved that this dietary supplement has been effective at:

• enhancing weight loss
• increasing energy
• suppressing hunger.

However, some Hydroxycut® reviews have reported that this weight loss supplement has led to some life-threatening side effects, including:

• cardiovascular disorders, such as heart attack and irregular heart beat
• liver damage
• rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition marked by muscle deterioration and, eventually, kidney failure
• seizures.

Following these reports, on May 1, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a national public health advisory to warn consumers of the Hydroxycut® dangers. Immediately after, Iovate Health Sciences, Inc. announced a voluntary recall of 14 Hydroxycut® products from U.S. markets.

The only Hydroxycut® product not recalled is Hydroxycut® Cleanse.
