Are the ingredients in Hydroxycut® supported by research?
Yes, key ingredients in the Hydroxycut® formula are supported by research. In two 8-week studies, subjects using the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut® (Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium polynicotinate, and Gymnema sylvestre extract) lost on average significantly more weight than subjects using a placebo (14.99 vs. 3.06 lbs. and 12.54 vs. 3.53 lbs.) in which all groups followed a diet and exercise plan. Therefore, the significantly greater weight loss observed in the groups taking the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut® can be directly attributed to the use of this unique combination of ingredients. In the same studies, subjects using the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut® experienced average decreases in BMI that were significantly larger than that of subjects using a placebo (2.3 vs. 0.7 kg/m2 and 2.7 vs. 0.5 kg/m2).
