FDA Recalls Popular Diet Supplement Hydroxycut

<br>
The FDA released a notice today regarding the use of the popular dietary supplement Hydroxycut.

“The FDA has received 23 reports of serious health problems ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of potential liver injury, to liver damage requiring liver transplants. One death due to liver failure has been reported to FDA. Other health problems reported include seizures; cardiovascular disorders; and rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure.”

Editor’s Note: The You-On-a-Diet review on Hydroxycut has been updated with a notice regarding this recall.

This recall will without question damage the reputation of Canadian based Health Sciences, Inc (even if the number of reports were small). I can see Hydroxycut being re-formulated, re-named, and released under a different manufacturer but at this moment, health officials were not able to determine which ingredient in Hydroxycut is potentially causing the damage.

Are you using Hydroxycut? Will you stop using after the recall? Have you used Hydroxycut in the past? Comment below…
