Heart Health Dangers

Hydroxycut contains caffeine, which can speed up the heart rate and put people at risk for heart attacks. The combination of willow bark, natural aspirin and caffeine in the form of guarana increase this risk as well as the risk for high blood pressure, heart murmurs and stroke.


Kidney Dangers

People with kidney ailments have to limit their potassium intake and should therefore be careful about taking Hydroxycut.

Nay

NO.

For whatever its worth, a good friend of mine took it a good while back and said it worked but they have since changed the "recipe" and they are pretty much useless now...

I took it for just over a week before because I was lazy and didnt want to put the effort in to lose weight and it made me CRANKY! jitters all the time and angry at the world from the minute I woke up in the morning, no joke. The day I stopped I felt GREAT. I regret every minute I wasted on those things.

Besides ALL the health risks, in the end I think they are just expensive caffeine pills, green tea and coffee have the same affect and are much cheaper. If you eat well and exercise I don't think you need them. Good luck

Just buy yourself some caffeine pills, save a ton of money and it will provide the same energy without whatever else is in the proprietary blend.

I tried them and every now and then when I need a boost I still take them. They will give you a jump start. But what I learned is that certain vegetables also give me a jump start such as peppers (red, yellow, green)

Agree on this. I love the energy, so I have tried some of these different pills (a friend of mine works at GNC and gives me samples of stuff from time to time) They dont make me jittery or anything really, I have no health issues though. But if its me BUYING something, I just get a cheap caffiene pill, or my fav thing to do is have strong coffee mixed with protein powder prior to a workout. Gives me the kick in the butt I need to get in there and work my hardest, which is all those expensive pills really do anyway! And as someone else said, I did once take them for about 30 days and when I stopped I WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY MEAN!! For like a week I was the biggest ***** EVER!
