Hydroxycut Ultra Lean hits shelves
Hydroxycut is expanding its lineup with a recent launch. The company has introduced Hydroxycut Ultra Lean, a supplement meant to support weight loss and includes a patented formula called CurcumaSlim.
Curcuma Slim contains two ingredients — curcumin extract and alpha lipoic acid — which the company said helps turn glucose into energy. The product also is formulated with vitamins C and B, as well as natural coffee extract, and is meant to deliver a metabolism boost and clean energy to fuel a busy day. Hydroxycut said, in two 16-week studies, participants using the ingredient combination lost an average of 12.56 pounds, compared with 6.12 pounds for placebo in the first study, and 4.84 pounds, compared with 0.87 pounds in the second. Both groups followed a reduced-calorie diet and walking program.
Hydroxycut Ultra Lean currently is available at Walgreens, Walmart and other major health retailers, as well as on Amazon.com. The product carries a suggested retail price of $39.99 at drug and grocery retailers and $29.97 at Walmart for 60 capsules.
