Fresh off the FDA’s warning to not use Hydroxycut Products, it appears like Hydroxycut is focused on trying to make safe products. Such is the case with Hydroxycut Acai. Unfortunately it appears they sacrificed effectiveness for safety. Like the name of the product implies, Hydroxycut Acai contains 1100 milligrams of acai. What is acai? (For an in-depth analysis read below) In short, acai is a berry native of Brazil with several anti-oxidant properties. Its ability to help you lose substantial weight is questionable at best.  Let’s take a closer look at Hydroxycut Acai.

Ingredients in Hydroxycut Acai

Acai. The pros of acai: Among the several health benefits of acai include the ability to protect the body’s cells from free radicals. Like all anti-oxidants, acai can have a tremendous positive effect on the immune system. Some studies even link acai with the ability to help reduce the risk of cancers and heart disease.

The cons of acai: Acai is very expensive especially considering blackberries and blueberries produce similar effects but  at a fraction of the cost. It appears that acai’s popularity has more to do with it sounding exotic (fruit from the amazon) and less with clinical studies backing it. Perhaps the biggest con to acai being included in a weight loss product is that there is no scientific evidence backing its ability to help you lose weight.  There are hundreds of acai weight loss products flooding the market but they all lack the most important thing: credibility. Even worse for acai is the recent disclaimer by Oprah Winfrey dissociating herself from acai products that claim to promote weight loss.

Caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to increase both the mental and physical outputs. When taken at smaller quantities it can help with concentration. It provides energy and can increase the metabolism. The key to caffeine is taking the right amount. Too little and you won’t feel any of its effects, too much and you will get the jitters and be sick to your stomach. The exact amount of caffeine in Hydroxycut Acai is hidden in a proprietary blend so it is unclear if there is enough of it to make a real difference.

Glucomannan. Fans of glucomannan boast of its appetite suppressing qualities, while others deem it a worthless ingredient. What does science say about Glucomannan? Clinical studies on glucomannan have been mixed. Considering most glucomannan-based products have garnered negative reviews, we wouldn’t expect it to do much for you.

The other ingredients in Hydroxycut Acai are nothing to write home about. There are a few vitamins and minerals but nothing that is going to make a dent in your weight loss efforts.

Hydroxycut Acai Side Effects

Is Hydroxycut Acai safe? The answer to that question depends on how much caffeine is in the pills. Because of the proprietary blend, it is unclear how much caffeine is in Hydroxycut Acai. If there is too much, expect mild side effects such as headaches, nausea, the jitters, insomnia, and anxiety.

Price of Hydroxycut Acai

Hydroxycut Acai can be purchased online for around $15.  Relatively inexpensive compared to other diet pills.

Hydroxycut Acai Conclusion
