Are there are any clinical reports on hydroxycut?
Unfortunately, the vendors of HCA have never conducted trials
to determine if their products work in humans. All the anecdotal reports claim
that it is junk. There are countless blogs on cyberspace and the majority of
people who have bought this supplement feel cheated. In fact, the FDA has
recently sent a warning to all these manufacturers to stop marketing HCA as a
weight loss supplement. Of great interest to all consumers is that HCA has been
shown to cause liver damage, seizures and heart problems—something that the
manufactures never mentioned.
In two small trials, some individuals did lose 2 pounds over
12 weeks but the weight loss was not sustained. Further, one should remember,
rats were given massive doses of HCA and now with the data clear on toxicity of
the supplement, I am not sure if many consumers would be so interested in
ingesting mega doses of HCA.
Finally HCA is not an inexpensive product. Depending on
where you buy and from whom, the cost can vary from $40-$60 for a month’s supply
and most of these vendors sucker you into buying 3-6 months’ supply at a
discounted rate. My advice: stop looking for a supplement for weight loss: start walking and eat less-this is free, inexpensive and it WORKS.
