Thermogenic Hydroxycut Advanced Review
Overview
Hydroxycut had their hand slapped by the Food and Drug Administration in May of 2009. There were several complaints of liver problems in dieters who were using the Hydroxycut products. The well-known diet pill company chose to voluntarily recall many of their products which lead to a huge gap in the market and a huge dent in their brand name.
Now Hydroxycut is back with the Thermogenic Hydroxycut Advanced. Is this product as effective as previous Hydroxycut products? Is it safe to take?
The Ingredients
Hydroxycut Advanced Proprietary Blend
Hydroxagen: Goji Extract, Acerola concentrate, Blueberry concentrate, Pomegranate and Zeaxanthin.
HydroxyPlus: Caffeine anhydrous (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) Supplying 200 mg of caffeine and Bilberry extract.
The Features
The new Thermogenic Hydroxycut Advanced contains only a few ingredients with caffeine being the stronger fat burning ingredient added. As a matter of fact, aside from caffeine, there are NO fat burning ingredients in the Thermogenic Hydroxycut Advanced.
The “Advanced” portion of the product name clearly pushes the antioxidant benefits of the ingredients. But, antioxidants can do very little to increase weight loss. There is some debate that improving overall health by curbing free radical control over the cells can cause weight loss. But, the amount lost will be minimal, at best.
Thermogenic Hydroxycut Advanced is nothing more than a caffeine pill. The product literature claims the main ingredient has been scientifically researched and that is not a lie. Caffeine will increase heart rate and boost metabolism, but why pay $37 USD for a product that contains as much caffeine as two cups of coffee per serving (200 mg)?
The Best
- Could provide antioxidant support.
- Caffeine proven to increase metabolism.
The Worst
- Overpriced.
- Not equivalent to the Hydroxycut products of old.
- Website lacks real information.
- No positive online reviews could be found.
- The only fat burning ingredient is caffeine.
Final Thoughts
Sorry Hydroxycut but dieters should skip this product. There is no similarity to the new Thermogenic Hydroxycut Advanced to any of the Hydroxycut products of old. The price, however, is the same. The dieter could get the same benefit from an energy drink and a fruit juice and pay far less money.
Good write up.
Another alternative is to use natural plant based fat binders that do not have the side effects that earlier Hydroxycut had.
Well Written!
nice piece of work with lot of useful information…it helps thank
ive been using it for about 2 weeks and ive lost inches off my waist. ive had no noticable side affects. works best with lots of water and diet and or exercise.
i just started this today. i weigh 125 and just want to tone up. i exercise a lot and i eat an okay diet. ill keep it posted on the effects.
I started taking this product in the beginning of february and have lost almost 30lbs in a little over a month. Caffeine does help but steady diet and exercise are also needed. I’m not buying this product after I run out , the way I see it, there are better products out there that can work just as well or even better.
i just started taking this about a week ago (6 march, i think). it curbs my appetite by a LOT. with that being said, i weigh myself everyday and have gone down about 2 pounds. i haven’t had a chance to exercise very much, due to an ongoing mission (in the army) and working long shifts. but i have been doing moderate physical exertion. as far as food goes, it’s decent. not health nutty, but no fast food and minimal candies. like i said, i’m not very hungry on it and it gives me insane energy. i’m not big on drinking water, so that may hurt me in the long run. it is probably best to keep the water going though, because i see myself needing to use the bathroom more often when i do drink water.
this is my first time using hydroxycut and im determined to use it until i see SOME kind of result, regardless if i work out or eat healthy or not. in the past, ive always been a go-big-or-go-home kind of girl and it never works out.
anyways. ill try to update as i can.
I started taking this about a week and a half ago and I am working out treadmill 1 hour aday about 4 miles and I have lost almost 5.lbs I only take 1 pill a day early so that I can not be so hungry and then eat lunch. I am as of today starting to take 2 pills in the early hours and see how that goes but I’m only doing it once a day. I am not one who drinks any caffeine so I think this just might help! I’ll try to keep ya posted! Good luck all!!
Well I just started this pill and I don’t need to loose too much weight but I do want help losing that winter weight for the upcoming summer! I am very sensitive to caffeine and get anxiety sometimes but I thought that if I felt bad on this supplement then I would just discontinue…well today I took only 1 pill instead of the full recommend amount because I am sensitive. I felt a ton of energy and had an excellent workout! Throughout the day I didn’t feel that hungry but I did still eat, otherwise I did start to get a headache and started to feel nauseated. I will keep you posted on the rest of my diet experience.
I was taking hydroxy-cut before they recalled it and lost 30 lbs. in about 2 months. when i first started it tho i couldn’t sleep for 3 days! I believe that was a mixture of taking this supplement and working at a coffee shop. however i lost weight. I started have tremors and anxiety very badly after the 2 months. I discontinued it. But i have gained that weight back since then and now im starting up again with the “NEW” Thermo Hydro Advanced. i’m only 21 but i have been struggling with my weight since i was about 12. and i have had the most weight lost ever in my life on the old hydro. i’m hopeful with the new one despite the reviews. It does curve my appetite and give me energy just like the old one. i will buy it again only if i see results. I’m doing slim fast in the morning, and weight watchers along with this so hopefully all these tools can help me achieve my weight goal. im at 300 now and want to be at or around 210. i’ll keep yall posted.
I just started taking this about 4 days ago, and I exercise and eat right. I really hope this gives me the kick I need, despite the reviews I get. I am really sick of being fat, and something needs to change. Soon.
I started using Hydroxycut products about a year ago. I absolutely loved the results I got with the first product I used (which has since been recalled). Along with changing the way I ate and doing some cardio for 30 min. every other day throughout the week, it helped me lose 30 pounds within 2 months. Once I reached a weight that made me happy, I stopped taking it. But, just like any other diet pill, the weight started creeping back up on me after a couple months of stopping, so I decided to go back and purchace Hydroxycut again–this time the new thermogenic one. I’ve been taking it and combining it with healthy eating and a 45 minute weightloss yoga routine every other day for a little over a week now. So far I’ve lost three pounds and I have a super amount of energy throughout the day–sometimes a little too much energy to where I can’t fall asleep like I want to once the day is done and overwith, which is a little irritating. I’ve also been experiencing a little bit more dizzy spells than the first product gave me starting out, but it’s bearable so overall, so far so good. I’m 5’4” and weigh 145 pounds so I definitely hope this product gives me that extra boost to lose the15 pounds I need to lose in time for wonderful bikini season =) I’ll keep you guys posted with my progress.
I just started the new thermogenic hydroxycut advanced today. I have been on lowest dose thyroid pills since last August 2009 and have not noticed a change in my energy level nor my weight, which slowly keeps getting worse, which is terrible on my back problems. I decided to go off the pill (I was told I could cause it was the lowest dose) and try this as I am looking for the energy just to keep up with my children and daily chores as well as the weight loss. I took one pill this morning and noticed I only needed one cup of coffee instead of my usual 8 cups during the course of the morning and I am FULL of energy and excited. That in itself helps me, and I am hoping it will kick my sluggish metabolism as well. I’ve always been a healthy eater but to no avail with my problems. Maybe this will straighten me out. The less weight on my back, the more exercise I would be able to handle. I have a Pilate machine but at the moment have no stamina whatsoever. I will keep you all posted.
I just started taking Hydroxycut on April 11 I feel great and I have lots of energy . You do have to drink lots of water, no side effect yet except that i could not go to sleep last night. I will keep you posted every week.
im on my second day of taking the packets, I can definately see the increase of energy and lack of appetite. The only things that I get are minor headaches. I am eating and working out. My run today was phenominal. I felt like I could have ran forever!! I just hope there is no backlash, again im only on my second day so I guess we will see!
I am not a fan of diet pills that make you feel anxiouse and your heart is beating out of your chest. So when my husband bought the wild berry packets that you put in your water bottle I didn’t even want to try them out. However this morning I was getting ready to go to the gym (early) and was draggen so I thought I would try it after all. I have never sweat more on my two mile treadmill run.. it was literally dripping off my face. Afer I finished and just wasn’t tired yet. So I climbed stairs for 20 minutes. So I definitly think the Hydroxycut made my workout more intense and kept me going longer than I usually would. It tastes kind of like Chystal Light, not horrible. And best part of all is that I don’t feel jittery just lots of energy.
I have been taking thermogenic hydroxycut advanced for a little over a week. The first 3 nites i could not sleep, and i felt jittery and had lots of energy. Now i dont feel anything im just thirsty, im taking the recommeded dosage. And i have been walking 3 miles every day and cut back on the snacks i only eat 1 package of the 100 calorie cookies. And am eating healthier, but i have not lost 1 pound.
I lost 40 pounds in 7 months on an ephedra based product back when it was legal, but the weight has gradually re-established itself over the course of about 10 years. I have tried a terribly large lot of different diet pills within those 10 years to keep the weight from returning, and have not come across anything that works. I’ve gained probably about 30 lbs back, but I can’t be sure of the amount because I am terrified of scales! I am a foodie, and will not deny it! Salt is my best friend! But, I think Thermo Hydoxycut might, possibly (too soon to tell) be working for me. I’ve been on it for about a week. I have not been able to work out due to completely insane work schedule. I drink water all the time already, so that hasn’t been an issue. I can honestly say I am not NEARLY as hungry on this pill as I usually am. I do have alot of energy. As noted by another reviewer, it has been a bit of a challenge to fall asleep @ night, which is VERY unusual for me. I tend to sleep like a rock. But, the lack of appetite and huge energy boost is certainly worth the hour or so of wishing for sleep before it finally comes. It is not the ephedra based product–unfortunately
–but, I like this stuff. If you’re looking for something that will curb your appetite and kick you into higher gear throughout the day, I think Thermogenic Hydroxycut would definitely be worth trying. The packets that you mix with water are also a good product. I only tried one packet (came free with my pills), but my appetite was GONE, the flavor was pretty good (not medicinal tasting), and I had even more energy that I do with the pills! Good luck, all!
… Also, the price that is listed here is incorrect. I purchased my bottle of Thermogenic Hydroxycut @ Walmart for less than $20.
I started Hydroxycut advanced today and i need to lose about 30 lbs. I hope it works. So far all it has done is make me thirsty. So im drinking lots of water.
Okay so I’m 18 and have heard both good and bad about hydroxycut advanced. I started taking the pills yesterday and was actually tired after taking them. For whatever reason it had the opposite effect, I mean I had NO energy, I could barely workout. I’m going to continue to take the pills and see if that changes, when I had one drink pack I was full of energy all day with no crash, which was nice. I work out 1-2 hours a day everyday and just need the boost of energy to help lose weight. Like I said I’m going ti continue to take these and hopefully see some change, if not I’ll try the drink mixes. I’m trying to lose 20-30 lbs at first and see where it goes from there. I only eat a couple small (healthy ie not junk food or lots of cals)meals a day, and i havent had any side affects besides no energy.
Ok im confused,im taking hydroxycut advanced for couple a days now,but i dont understand directions,it says 2 caplets 2 times daily so does that means i take 2 or 4 caplets in 24h!? Please help!!!
4 in total..
the old Hydroxycut worked VERY well… I went from 125 to 112 in two weeks… but i was always working out and ran three miles about every day… but I was in the hospital about to go into cardiac arrest and the nurse was telling me lots of people were dying due to hydroxycut… She said it caused kidney failure and breaks down your heart and that was in may 09… I just had my first son in feb and i weigh 140 and i have been using their new formula but it doesnt seem to be working. i actually had gained a few pounds while on it… I am going to try it again but it just doesnt seem to work as well.
I started taking Hydroxycut yesterday and incredibly I lost 3 lbs in 1 day…i also started eating healthy yesterday when I got on the pill…yesterday I was 124lbs and when I got on the scale today I was 121lbs…I cant believe it…the only problem is last night I had trouble sleeping…kept moving all night long…but I will keep taking the pill until my goal which is 115lbs…hey beauty is painful and SUMMER IS HERE!!!!so if it means i cant sleep well but look good on the weekends at the beach..iam willing to sacrifice…i also forgot to mention that I am not working out right now due to a foot fracture…
hmm i start my hydroxycut advance tomorrow.. it not tablet, or capsul, it like flavor to mineral water.. m i buying a right product or being cheat, hope you guys understand my english, guys please i really need to lose my weight, im soldier.. kept runing 30 to 50min but i even get my target.. is this product will help me reaching my target?
I am back for the follow up…just like I previously reported I have been taking Hydroxycut now for 3 weeks now…my starting weight was 124 and I am now 118…so basically I have lost 3 lbs/week…I can truly recommend it because it supresses my appetite to the point I do not have the cravings I usually did before..also the first night was horrible and I couldnt sleep..but now I dont even feel the agitation..I just try to take the pills 2 twice a day..but usually before 5pm…just in case to avoid problems going to sleep…i truly love it!!!!!!!!!The first pill I ever try and actually work..what a relief! Everyone at work is wondering how am i doing it LMAO =-)
I started taking hydro advanced today. i weigh 250 and i’m trying to lose 30lbs.
But can some tell why i weight 255 now after taking this product. WTF!!!!
I had gastric bypass 6 years ago. I lost about 100 pounds. They say that eventually you will gain about 30 percent of what you lost. And boy have I. I have about 20 pounds to lose.
So I started the pills today to help. The problem with gastric bypass is you can’t eat a whole lot at one time…so you find yourself grazing all day long. And that adds up. Hopeing it will surpress my appetitie so I’m not eating all day long.
I’m 5′ 11″. and currently weight 195. Hoping to get back to 175. Sooo…I will keep it you informed about it.
I just lost weight doing the Master (Lemonade diet) Cleanse. I am now 155, and I would like to lose another 20 pounds. I am 5’8 mother of two. I will keep you posted in the weeks to come. I have not been exercising at all. I do try to watch what I eat though. So, I will let you know how it goes for me.
So is the new hydroxic advanced safe to take? Cuz it scares me when ppl had to go to hospital before from it? Im confused ive nrver taken diet pill before but want to try this one for aid in wright loss i just want to lose my last 10 pounds im not ovrrweight but want some energy in workouts and lose weight fast from my love handles abd stomach god losing stomach is so hard!!!
So what is the best time to use this? I want to be able to sleep at nite. Like once in am and again at like 2?Advice pleaseee.
Yes LEN I take the first two in the am and around 2pm the other 2. I still have not gained weight and went down to 116. The interesting thing is that I already took the full bottle, but havent bought another one because I am having surgery due to a fracture I have and cant take anything that messes up my cardiac rate due to he anesthesia. However, I have NOT gained any lbs back…iam still 116 and have not taken the pills for 2 weeks. Right after I am done with the surgical procedure I will get back to taking it….I love it!
I keep hearing both good and bad things about this product but people gotta remember that everybodys body type is different.
