Hydroxycut is a nutritional supplement marketed by Iovate Health Sciences Inc., designed to help consumers lose weight. It is sold at conventional retailers, such as GNC and Wal-Mart, online retailers and through direct television marketing. Currently sold in the United States without ephedra, it advertises under a marketing slogan of a product that increases metabolism and reduces hunger cravings. Its primary ingredients include garcinia cambogia, gymnema sylvestre, chromium polynicotinate, caffeine, green tea. Like many nutraceuticals, its efficacy has been questioned by the media.[1]
According to published studies, some ingredients in the Hydroxycut formula may help obese patients lose up to 4.5 times the weight than they would with just diet and exercise alone. This is supported by two 8-week studies in which all groups followed a diet and exercise plan, subjects using ingredients similar to those in Hydroxycut lost, on average, significantly more weight than subjects who were using a placebo (14.99 vs. 3.06 lbs and 12.54 vs. 3.53 lbs).
