i felt very bad,and the doctor thought that i have hepatits A and after stop using hidroxicut hardcore,the the symptoms are gone,i checked my blood and nothing shows anymore. i called the company when i start feeling bad and they asked me to send the bottled to then and they refund my money,arent know if i still have any damage in the liver

So Im watching the news tonite and here pops up recall on hydroxycut- Wow! Ive been taking for 6 months now, 2 in the am and 2 in afternoon. I have had just recently heart racing, that at times I could feel through my neck. Then at work one day felt as though my heart flipped. Guess now Im freaked out about it. Then I just bought some other day, think ive had 8 caps out of it. Always something.

Yes I totally agree!! Anything that is proven to cause liver damage/problems should definitely be put back on the shelves. Who cares about anyone else? We’re all out for ourselves anyway.

A well-written story, however you should be asking the question: why aren’t more harmful products being pulled from shelves?

According to the CDC, for example, on average 500 people per year die from taking aspirin in America AS INSTRUCTED on the label, and thousands are hospitalized each year for taking aspirin due to liver damage. Yet, aspirin is still sold over-the-counter even to children.

Now, I am not proposing that aspirin should be removed from the shelves any more than should Hydroxycut. My point is that the only reported cases I’ve seen from the CDC so far regarding Hydroxycut was regarding people who abused the product not following label directions.

We’ve got to follow the money trail on this story because almost identical products to Hydroxycut are being sold “by prescription” manufactured by the nation’s large pharmeceutical companies who’s executives sit on the FDA board of directors. Hydroxycut is an effective non-prescription over-the-counter product for those who wish to use it that sells for 1/4 the price of identical prescription products.

I just thought I’d throw my twice-cents worth your way especially since other common over-the-counter products result in far more deaths and damage than Hydroxycut, however they are manufactured by large chemical companies with the cash to bribe Congressmen and the FDA to keep their products on store shelves.

I have been seriously thinking of trying this product for months and had it saved in the shopping cart on gnc.com, about to buy it before it got recalled. Thank goodness I had second thoughts and waited. Losing weight is not worth losing your health!

I just wanted to remind all of you that a perfect looking courpse is nothing to valor over!

I have been taking this product and experienced pain round my liver and swelling. After reading the comments of other users I just tossed the rest into the garbage. So, that was good. However, I am amazed that so many people cannot construct a proper sentence or at least know how to spell.

over the last 4yrs i have been diagnosed with primary liver damage also hair loss in spots severe stomach pain yellowing of skin and eyes dark urine i have been to johns hopkins also seeing a gastro dr put on meds for the rest of my life iam only 37 but until 3 months ago i was baffled i never drank or smoked no drugs worked out 5 days a week played sports but i had severe stomach pain went to the er after 3 days of test they wanted to do surgery but because of my liver the local hospital would not operate so i went to university of md medical center and we broke my test down i have had every possible test known for the liver mri ercp c-scan biopsy all more than once and it 99.9% its hydroxycut i used it way to long i cycled like it said but now i paying for it and there is no cure just pills to try and control it i was very healthy until i took this it might be rare but it happens

I have been fighting several liver problems over the last 4 years, much like most of you I am young (28) don’t drink or do drugs, and yet the VA has spent over 1 million dollars trying to find out why my levels are so high and why I have growing masses on the inside of my liver. To look at me am fit 5’7” and only weigh 180lbs. No history of liver problems, but what I do know is that I took hydroxycut while in Afghanistan and have had severe health problems since. My advice is to stop taking the supplement but DO NOT throw the bottle away or should I say “evidence”. Because we live in America, we have the oppurtunity to get the company to do more indepth research before selling a product so that what has happened to us does not happen to anyone else. I wish you all the best, I will likely be facing a liver resection here in the next few months, keep pushing as these problems have the abilty to pull you down quick.—Matt

I took one single dose or Hydroxycut hardcore. I had a bit of a stomach ache early on, nothing major. Then, last night, I started having back pain and knew that it was coming from the inside. This morning I looked up Hydroxycut hardcore and liver damage and everywhere I looked my suspicions were confirmed. Now this morning I noticed that my skin looked different, like it was sunburned, then I read that jaundice is another symptom. I took one single dose! This stuff is going in the toilet. I’m going to report it to the FDA. I encourage all of you do the same.
