Hydroxycut Side Effects

There is very little information available about potential side effects of Hydroxycut. However, possible side effects may be similar to those of stimulants, as many Hydroxycut products contain stimulants (such as caffeine). Based on this information, Hydroxycut side effects may include insomnia, jitteriness, and indigestion. If you develop more serious side effects while taking Hydroxycut (such as difficulty breathing or seizures), be sure to seek immediate medical care.

 

Does Hydroxycut Cause Side Effects?

Because adequate research is unavailable for Hydroxycut®, little is known about the possible side effects of the various Hydroxycut products. However, several of the products contain stimulants (such as caffeine), which are known to cause certain side effects.
 
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Hydroxycut. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Hydroxycut side effects with you.)
 

Possible Side Effects of Hydroxycut

Because Hydroxycut has not been adequately studied in clinical trials, the information about possible side effects of Hydroxycut comes from what is known about stimulants. Based on this information, common Hydroxycut side effects may include:
 
  • Insomnia
  • Nervousness or restlessness
  • Indigestion or heartburn
  • Shakiness (tremors) or jitteriness
  • Increased urination.
     
Each Hydroxycut product contains a long list of active ingredients, many of which are not stimulants. It is likely that these other ingredients may cause side effects, although very little is known about these other Hydroxycut side effects.
