Hydroxycut Advanced comes from a long line of products previously produced with the infamous ephedra and now connected with reports of renal failure and FDA recall. Reports of this recall have been plastered across the internet, and they had one 19 year old and otherwise healthy male die of these complications.

Hydroxycut Advanced is still marketed under the MuscleTech name. They use quite a blend of ingredients, and claim that as an As Seen On TV product, it must be legitimate. They specifically state that “people coast to coast will be able to turn to Hydroxycut to support their weight loss goals.”

How Does Hydroxycut Advanced Work?

It claims to provide fat burning, metabolism boosting, and other benefits for weight loss constituents of all natures and kinds. They claim that you can achieve fat loss results with diet and exercise, and they depend largely on a caffeine based formula.

While caffeine can provide temporary and efficient metabolism boosting results, the side effects are considered to be unmanageable by some. In addition, the results are short lasting and really don’t provide the results many are looking for, even in the short amount of time it does work. So we look for other ingredients that would provide other benefits, which Hydroxycut Advanced does not use.

How Do You Take Hydroxycut Advanced?

If you read their recommendations, you should taske 2 caplets before breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 8oz of water. Yet some conflicting reports suggest it to be a 2 times daily supplement. We would suggest not taking it within a few hours of bedtime due to possible overstimulation and insomnia from the caffeine. But do not exceed 6 caplets in a 24 hour period of time.
