The primary ingredients in Hydroxycut include garcinia cambogia, gymnema sylvestre, chromium polynicotinate, caffeine, green tea.

No one really knows which ingredient in Hydroxycut is the most important chemical. The vendors of Hydroxycut claim that the supplement can help obese patients lose weight very fast than they would with either diet or exercise. The vendors provide some dubious figures and claim that one can close 15 pounds in just 8 weeks.

Hydroxycut is available in many formulations. Some of these include:

- Pure Hydroxycut
- Caffeine free Hydroxycut for individuals who
are not able to take caffeine
- Hydroxycut 24- this 24 hour weight loss product
releases Hydroxycut in the morning and caffeine
at night (there is no proof that this occurs)

Patient testimonials on cyberspace indicate that the product does not help one lose weight. There are a few patients who claim that they have lost weight but the majority of testimonials are very negative. Many testimonials claim that the company does not give refunds, expects you to buy many supplies and customer service is non-existent. Unfortunately, what is worse is that some unscrupulous doctors have also been promoting this product. Most of these doctors are paid money to talk great about the product and make up fictitious numbers.

As far as randomized clinical studies are concerned, there are none. The only reports of weight loss are those made by vendors of this product.
