Hydroxycut is Back!

September 8th, 2009

LGO_hydroxycutThe market-leading weight loss supplement Hydroxycut has been reformulated and re-launched in the United States, just months after being recalled for potentially causing liver damage.

“The only ingredient left in from the original formulation is caffeine. We do not have any evidence that caffeine causes liver toxicity,” an FDA spokesperson told NutraIngredients-USA.com.

Iovate confirmed that “all of the product’s herbal ingredients and extracts have been replaced”, and that the reformulated product was on the market. However, the firm declined to answer any further questions. -Nutraingredients

MY COMMENT: How can this be? An entirely new product developed, tested, manufactured, and distributed in just 4 months?
