Millions of people across the country take weight loss supplements everyday. However, what they don't know is that many of these supplements cause significant health risks. Hydroxycut, a popular weight loss pill, is one of the most commonly sold over-the-counter nutritional supplements. But, is it really safe?
In the battle against weight loss, many supplements are placed on the market before adequate research can be performed on their long term effects. Hydroxycut is one of these weight loss supplements. However, even in the face of inadequate clinical studies, many short term side effects have been reported by users.
Health Nutrition Supplements
• Insomnia, or the inability to sleep, has been reported due to the amount of caffeine contained within Hydroxycut. It is recommended that the supplement be taken at least 6-8 hours before bedtime to avoid problems falling asleep. However, in some people who aren't accustomed to consuming caffeine, insomnia is a problem no matter when it is taken.
• Nervousness or restlessness has been observed in many people who take Hydroxycut. This is also due to its stimulant effects, and is probably a direct result of increased caffeine consumption. This side effect is common in many weight loss supplements, and has been known to pass after several days.
• Indigestion or heartburn is another reported side effect of Hydroxycut. Although there are no medical studies to confirm why this happens, it is believed it is directly related to caffeine and other stimulants contained within the supplement.
• Increased urination, shakiness, tremors, and jitteriness have also been experienced, again due to the high caffeine content and other stimulants.
• More serious side effects such as high blood pressure have also been reported. People with existing conditions may experience a dangerous raise in blood pressure after taking Hydroxycut.
• Taking stimulants such as Hydroxycut can worsen existing anxiety disorders, and should be avoided by anyone taking anti-anxiety medications, or with a history of anxiety.
• The supplement can also react with prescription medications, causing lethal side effects. Patients taking diabetes medications, or any other type of stimulant should not take Hydroxycut.
So, is it safe? The answer is, we just don't know. There are many minor short term side effects of Hydroxycut, and other weight loss supplements in the Hydroxycut family. However, it's a relatively new supplement, with no research to back up the claim of safety or effectiveness. Long term users could possibly see even worse symptoms develop over time, or may never experience any side effects.
As with all nutritional supplements, use Hydroxycut at your own risk, and talk to your doctor first to make sure no drug or disease interactions will be experienced. If you have taken Hydroxycut and the side effects worsen or persist, stop taking the supplement and visit a doctor immediately.
