Hydroxycut, a 10 year old fat burner, was one of the pioneers of the fat burning and weight loss pills industry. Manufactured by Muscletech this supplement has had some of the best longevity in the business. Does this mean it produces results? Well their advertising both in print and on TV sure would like us to believe that.

I've done some exhaustive research to determine what the potential results are with Hydroxycut, why it works, and what the potential side effects are. That is what i will be covering in this Hydroxycut review. So if you've been thinking of ordering Hydroxycut take a few minutes to read this before you make your decision.

Why Does Hydroxycut Burn Fat?

Long and short of it is the key ingredients in Hydroxycut work. Two 8 week clinical studies have been done on the ingredients in Hydroxycut and the results show that they work, in fact you can potentially lose 4.5 times as much weight when compared to just diet and exercise alone.

So it seems the ingredients are great in Hydroxycut, let's take a closer look at what they are.

Hydroxycut Ingredients:

There are three primary ingredients in Hydroxycut: Hydroxagen Plus (1.32 g per serving a serving is 2 capsules), Hydroxy Tea (414 mg per serving), and Calcium, chromium and potassium.

Hydroxagen Plus: This is a special blend of several extracts including Garcinia Cambogia Extract and Gymnema Sylvestre Extract. This acts as a carb blocker, reduces fat levels in the blood, and keeps your blood sugar levels stable.

Hydroxy Tea: This is the real fat burning ingredient. It's Muscl Tech's own name for their blend of Green tea extract, caffeine, as well as white and oolong teas (this is the same tea that's being promoted now as Wu-Yi weight loss tea).

Green tea extract is an effective weight loss supplement, there have been numerous studies done to show that it increases metabolism. It's also a very powerful antioxidant and glucose moderator (reduces cravings and snacking).

These ingredients combined with Caffeine make for a powerful fat burning ingredient. How much caffeine is there in 2 capsules of Hydroxycut? It's about equivalent to 2 cups of coffee in each serving.

Calcium, chromium and potassium: While not conclusive research, there are studies showing that Calcium can aid in weight loss. Chromium helps to regulate insulin function and keep sugar levels balanced. If you sugar levels are balanced then you'll experience less cravings for snacking through out the day.

This blend of key ingredients in Hyroxycut is what's been successful in helping men and women lose as much as 4 times the weight they'd lose with just diet and exercise alone over an 8 week period.

Hydroxycut Side Effects

While there are no direct side effects listed on HydroxyCutOnline.com other then avoid drinking other caffeinated beverages after taking your serving (2 capsules) of Hydroxycut, I did come across some side effects actual users have experienced.

• Increased Blood pressure and Heart rate
• Insomina (due to caffeine, can be experienced by caffeine sensitive people)
• Restlessness and jittery
• Headaches and dizziness
• Loss of appetite (although can be looked at as a pro not a con)

Of course not all users experience these from taking Hydroxycut, and I'd suggest that you do not take the full does right away. I'd start at one capsule for each serving to see how your body reacts, then move upto the 2 capsule serving when you feel comfortable. If you do experience any of these side effects they should disappear after you discontinue use of Hydroxycut.

If you take Hydroxycut as directed for 8 weeks along with following a healthy diet and exercise plan I think you can lose 3-4 times more weight hen you'd lose with just diet and exercisealone.

If you're looking for a weight loss pill that has been proven effective then Hydroxycut is for you, Keep in mind you may experience some of the side effects mentioned, how ever for many it's worth it to get the end result.
