Users of Hydroxycut should be aware of symptoms of possible liver damage from hydroxycut, including, jaundice, brown urine, nausea, vomiting, light-colored stools, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching, and loss of appetite.

As millions of people in the United States attempt to lose weight for a plethora of reasons, many are turning to different products to help them do so. As a result, companies are beginning to research, develop and market these products as a way to accomplish the weight loss they desire in a fast and safe manner.

Unfortunately, some of these weight loss aids are proving to be dangerous, and that appears to be the case with one of the most popular product lines on the market – Hydroxycut products by Iovate Health Sciences, Inc. Below is a brief overview of the burgeoning issue with these products:

The Products

The products at issue are the line of Hydroxycut weight loss aids that are marketed to help consumers weight-loss, as fat burners, as energy-enhancers, as low carb diet aids, and for water loss, all of which are meant to promote better health because of less weight. These products sold in huge numbers since hitting the market, and they are seen as cost-effective and efficient.

The Problems

The problems that have arisen in response to using them have been not only numerous, but serious in nature.

Specifically, these problems include:

• Seizures
• Cardiovascular disorders
• Rhabdomyolysis – A type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure.

Perhaps most serious is the trend that points towards different forms of liver damage. These different forms of damage include jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, which can lead to the immediate need for a liver transplant.

At this point, at least 23 reports of serious side effects developing as a result of using these products and one death has been reported. Given the small sample pool and the relatively short amount of time in which they have been generated, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided to act now.

FDA’s Response

The FDA has recently issued a public warning to all consumers that they should immediately stop using any of these products until additional investigations can be completed regarding Hydroxycut weight loss products. This investigation centers on the ingredients present in the products and other factors included with their usage.
