Hydroxycut Gummies Fat Burner First Look:

MuscleTech seem to have taken a new direction in terms of their branding and packaging if this is anything to go by.

Long gone are the heavily dated and excessive graphic delights we have been used to and in its place appears to be much more contemporary and has a wider audience appeal.

Beforehand, their products really only would appeal to men based on aesthetics and only likely to be found in a supplement store. Whereas these new products could be found on a shelf in any grocery store.

And, that is the general direction most health and fitness supplements seem to be heading.

Ingredients:

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) – Gives you more energy and boost your metabolism, helping you shed unwanted pounds. Ensure you are not deficient in Vitamin B12 so you can do that quick 10 miler at 5am…

Vitamin B6 – Using it in its most natural form, pyridoxine, B6 is an essential nutrient to raising the body’s metabolism and aiding the fat burning process.

Riboflavin – Important for body growth and red blood cell production. It also aids in the release of energy from proteins.

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) – One of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which the body uses to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body use fats and protein.

B complex vitamins are needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly and is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells.

C. Canephora Robusta (Green Coffee Extract) – Evidence from research has indicated that the consumption of caffeinated coffee can lead to some reductions in long-term weight gain, an effect which is likely to be due to the known thermogenic effects of caffeine intake. This is found in the best fat burners.

Thiamin (Vitamin B1) – Helps the body’s cells change carbohydrates into energy. The main role of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and nervous system.

Sodium – There are mechanisms in place for sodium bicarbonate to be a fat-burning agent (it increases ketone production and lipolysis and causes a minor increase in metabolic rate), but these have not yet been linked to actual weight loss in trials.

Folic Acid (Vit. B9) – There’s many benefits of Folic Acid, treating kidney problems is one of them. Folic acid can also help produce more testosterone along with B12 but also necessary to form red blood cells and is also necessary in the formation of DNA.

Dose:

There’s a 6 pill daily dose as per the instructions. However, we are instructed to take 3 gummies twice daily.

We are served a woefully low 459.2mg of ingredients per day.

This equates to approximately one sixth of what we would find in a good fat burner.

A dose of (4) pills spread out evenly across the day is recommended to ensure a steady trickle of nutrients for your body to work with and is found with the best fat burners on the market.

Effects:

There’s 2 safe, effective and beneficial ingredients here which is not impressive considering there are 8 ingredients here.

Many of the rest are not directly linked to increasing metabolism or fat burning, yet they help increase energy expenditure by giving you the necessary tools to go out and get active to help create that calorie deficit.

The host of B vitamins also help with red blood cell production, healthy eyes, skin, nails, hair as well as DNA.

Negatives:

We are provided a really low all round daily dose. This is not ideal at all. Plus the dosing advice is not optimal.

Then if we strip it back to the bare, fat burning bones, we are only offered 2 ingredients that are proven to be directly effective at shredding.

It misses out on so many other, proven and well regarded ingredients here.

It really is not offering much benefit at all for effective fat loss.

Hydroxycut Gummies Fat Burner Conclusion:

There are far better and more effective fat burners on the market that can supplement your exercise and nutritional program, to waste your time and hard earned pay check on this would be foolish.

There is also a really low dose compared to many supplements which means even if the ingredients were effective, they would have so little effect.

I would rather describe this as a health supplement, offering benefits to appearance and overall health but not a fat burner.

As such, it is not optimal if you are looking to lose body fat and far from the performance offered by Instant Knockout.
