Hydroxycut is one of the most advertised fat burning pills on the market. It is a supplement that claims to increase weight loss when used in conjunction with exercise. Like other supplements being marketed as fat burning pills it claims of being the best weight loss pills avaliable. Hydroxycut made headlines for over a controversial compound that it contained called Ephedra. This compound is banned by FDA. Now you can get a Ephedra-free product that claims to increase your metabolism and energy while suppressing your appetite, therefore cutting caloric intake and hence causing weight loss. Claims made by there manufacturers are pretty bold. They say that Hydroxycut can decrease body fat by 8%, and increase norinephrine by 40%. Among the most important ingredients in this product are: § Hydroxagen™: This is a compound which has been shown to decrease the activity of the enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of excess carbohydrates into fat. This subsequently makes it extremely effective for low fat diets. There may some added advantage of it curbing hunger and cravings. § Guarana Extract: Guarana, is the herbal form of caffeine and this has been shown to stimulate fat stores and resulting in fat being utilized as energy. Caffeine also facilitates the effectiveness of ephedrine, thus making it a more potent. § L-Carnitine: This is an amino acid that has been reported to carry fats to the interior of cells where it can be metabolized as energy. The addition of L-carnitine is an absolute necessity to get fat burning. § Chromium Picolinate: It has been shown that dosages of chromium as that contained in Hydroxycut can cause fat reduction and increases in muscle tone. When combined with caffeine effectiveness of Hydroxycut becomes dramatically increased. Most reviews suggest that this supplement is again good for people are looking to get a kickstart into weight loss. As with any other supplement to keep that excess weight off one has to follow a long term weight loss plan, which includes dietary and exercise modifications. It should be understood that many people do experience side effects with these “stimulating” medications. Some say that feel anxious, others complain of increased libido. If you have heart condition, hyperthyroidism etc you should stay clear from this product (see all contraindications before starting) Although many people swear by it and consider it to be among the “best weight loss pills” ever, in my opinion if you do plan to try this product then it should not be taken long term rather it should be used as a short term booster to get your metabolism going. As always you should consult your doctor if you do plan to use this as this is not among the FDA regulated “fat burning pills” and experience with this is limited.
