I was actually thinking of using Hydroxycut so im glad they took it out of the market. I think the FDA should of acted sooner to keep more people from getting sick.
“23 reports of serious health problems”… ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes (an indicator of potential liver injury)…also, other health problems reported include seizures, cardiovascular disorders, and rhabdomyolysis!! bad stuff all round!
Hydroxycut has been on the market for some time now. I have been using this product for a year and now we are finding out it is not safe. I went to the doctor who said it was safe so I started to take the product. Now I asked him on my last checkup and he too said to quite taking the product from the information that they are receiving.
Whoops! You’ve gotta wonder with so many of these types of products.
