Review
Summary |
Hydroxycut® is a popular diet product. The product has been featured on numerous late night infomercials. The Hydroxycut® website was designed for the different needs of men and women. We found Hydroxycut® is not specifically geared toward either gender of dieter. Surprisingly, regardless of how the products are marketed, in the end they happen to sell exactly the same product, with similar ingredients whether you are a man or woman.
|
| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Hydroxycut® contains – Caffeine, Guarana, Green Tea, Garcinia Cambogia Extract and additional ingredients clearly listed at the website.
*Guarana – is a nervous system stimulant derived from the seeds of a Brazilian plant of the same name, it is often found in herbal supplements that promote weight loss.
*Green tea - contains the stimulant, caffeine. Excessive caffeine is known to cause restlessness and/or insomnia. Also, people taking aspirin or blood thinning medications should consult their doctor before taking green tea extracts, because green tea extracts may interfere with blood clotting. More studies are still needed to determine if green tea extracts are truly beneficial for weight loss.
|
| Additional Ingredients |
|
Hydroxycut® – does not contain the widely popular active ingredient Hoodia….nor does it contain the safe ephedra alternative: Advantra-Z.
*Garcinia Cambogia Extract – is used in Indian traditional remedies for edema, delayed menstruation, constipation and intestinal parasites. It is also used for rheumatism and bowel complaints widely sold as a component in dietary supplements.

| Website |
|
Hydroxycut® website supplements their products with specific dieting and exercise news for either gender.
We found the Hydroxycut® website to be informative. The experience, in our opinion, was more sales oriented than consumer based. They do however; recommend that if you have any further questions to email.

• Is more expensive than similar products on the market
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Hydroxycut® in itself is an incomplete formulation. The website alone sells 4 additional weightless supplements. For the purposes of this review we chose Hydroxycut®, which is a common discount store brand. Hydroxycut® does not contain Hoodia. Without an active modern appetite suppressant, we do not find Hydroxycut® to be a complete product. This discount store brand also does not contain Advantra-Z®, the patented ephedra-alternative ingredient.
The Hydroxycut® formulation alone uses excessive amounts of caffeine. Even with that reason aside, if you wanted to try Hydroxycut®, they do not offer a free trial.

TheFlexBelt®:
TheFlexBelt® -
The abdominal toning Flex Belt® is truly an awesome advance in technology. This device is by far the most effective we have ever seen of its kind. The results are astonishing – The Flex Belt is proven to work for everyone. In fact – in a clinical trial done with The Flex Belt, 100% of the participants received results in flattening, toning, and strengthening their stomach. The Flex Belt is not a gimmick – it is 100% medical science. It is the first EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) product of its kind cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device for direct to consumer sales. The Flex Belt literally flexes your stomach muscles for you so they get a very concentrated work out. It makes it so that anyone can exercise their abs anywhere and anytime and it does all the work for you. You can use it at work, around the house, while taking a walk, while exercising, watching TV etc. For consumers who don’t have the time to exercise or for those that may have tried to flatten and tone their stomachs through traditional exercise, this product is precisely what they’ve been looking for. It is also great for people that are in awesome shape and already have a great stomach – it will simply make it more strong and defined.
