Hydroxycut Max Advanced is supposed to be their most powerful ingredient meant for women’s weight loss.  They claim that Hydroxycut Max Advanced will help you to trigger extreme thermogenesis, and apparently it is also designed to burn more calories and give you that powerful energizing kick.  They claim that it is “suspended in a liquid matrix”, giving you ultimately speaking greater results.

Of course, one should keep in mind the recent history of Hydroxycut in general and the fact that Hydroxycut Max Advanced was actually part of this.  Hydroxycut products were recalled in April of 2009 due to deaths and complaints of liver failures and other quite serious side effects to say the least.  This was in response to a serious release and warning from the FTC, not because they were particularly concerned about the consumer.  However, they have of course reformulated Hydroxycut Max Advanced before releasing it again to the general public.

They use a proprietary blend meaning that they are hiding a number of fillers as well as tiny and insufficient amounts of the ingredients used.  Being that one of their ingredients requires at least 400mg by itself, they obviously aren’t doing a very good job of hiding the potentially damaging facts. And unfortunately that ingredient, being caffeine, is pretty much their only valid weight loss ingredient.

They also have Korean ginseng, which could potentially provide a thermogenic effect in the body.  But again, it is based on stimulants, basically caffeine repeated under a different name, and it also requires at least 400mg, which you are not going to see here.  And while of course Korean ginseng is also recognized as an all around health tonic, that doesn’t help it much in this case.

The third ingredient that sets itself apart would be kelp.  Kelp is rich in iodine, which they believe is good for the thyroid.  However, unless you have a thyroid disorder, the thyroid isn’t going to affect your weight or weight loss that much.  And if you do have a thyroid disorder, you need to seek professional medical help, not take a bunch of iodine.

The rest of the ingredients fit essentially speaking into one group: amino acids.  Amino acids are recognized as the building blocks of muscles, and they have been shown in some ways to contribute to the muscles in certain ways, feeding them.  However, they do not actually build muscles.  So obviously, this contributes to a considerably greater problem in general.  Amino acids definitely don’t promote greater weight loss results.

While we don’t believe this formula to be particularly dangerous, a lot of the old formulas of Hydroxycut also looked rather innocuous, leading some to question whether they actually disclosed all their ingredients or not in the first place.  They seem to be based entirely on hype and none of the right things in general.  This in mind, we would definitely suggest finding something else.
