Overview:
Muscletech's Hydroxycut Hardcore is their most powerful thermogenic diet formula, taking the fat-burning concepts behind the original Hydroxycut a step further. Hydroxycut Hardcore features a proprietary blend of ingredients formulated to stimulate and prolong the fat-burning process at the cellular level. This is accomplished in a 5-stage process.
First, norepinehprine (NE) levels are elevated, activating the beta-receptors on fat cells. Beta-receptors then signal the cell to begin the process of mobilizing fat stores to be burned for energy and heat production (thermogenesis). Secondly, the signaling mechanism within the fat cell, cAMP, is a key link in the chain because it makes the cell respond to the fat-burning stimulus. Hydroxycut Hardcore elevates and sustains cAMP levels to prolong the fat-burning effects of norepinephrine. The third stage involves inhibition of alpha receptors on fat-cells, which turn off the fat-burning process allowing more fat to be used for energy and heat production. The fourth step inhibits an enzyme that would otherwise reduce levels of NE, which is desirable since NE initiates the fat-burning process. Breaking down or 'mobilizing' fat stores and then burning that fat, are two separate processes, and up to this point Hydroxycut Hardcore has focused on breaking down fat.
The fifth and last stage enhances the body's ability to actually burn fat within the mitochondria of cells where energy is produced. So what you have in Hydroxycut Hardcore is something very close to an actual 'fat burner' although, as Muscletech wants you to know, your results will be greatly enhanced by proper exercise and diet. Use as directed; 3 capsules with an 8-oz. glass of water 2 times daily, approximately 30 to 60 minutes before meals. On days of your workout, take 1 of these servings before the workout. Consume ten 8-oz. glasses of water per day.
Manufacturer's Description:
Hydroxycut Hardcore utilizes an exclusive liquid Micro-Dispersion Technology to deliver fat-burning components to the body immediately. Hydroxycut Hardcore attacks the fat through a proprietary five-step process to ensure the fat-burning signal remains uninterrupted. The fourth step involves inhibiting the enzyme COMT to ensure the fat-burning signal grows in strength. THe fifth step involves producing heat (thermogenesis) by accelerating the breakdown of released fats in the mitochondria.

Excellent Product
5/15/2008 by MrBeef

| Details: I have used Hydroxycut hardcore several different times. I DO NOT use it as it suggests, but more of an energy booster & appetite suppressant.
These pills, liek the rest of alll the fat burners compliment your diet & exercise program, they are not miracle pills.
~No Pill Is!~
I take 2 (3 is 1 serving) right when I wake up. This wakes me up, gets me moving and helps me control my appetite throughout the day. I then take 2 more about 1 hr before I know I will want to work out and when it is time to lift or do cardio, I am alive and motivated. Taking 2 is good for evening b/c it will not effect your sleeping habits.

Best for those beginning an exercise and diet program who need broad overall support

| Details: For beginners or those just starting out on an exercise program Hydroxycut Hardcore warrants a solid 4/5 stars. Great product for these people.
For experienced athletes and those already conditioned and training consistently, a complete diet formula like Hydroxycut Hardcore is probably not focused enough on specific effects to be very useful; 2/5 stars.
Hydroxycut Hardcore is one of the most popular and heavily-promoted products Muscle Tech has ever put its name on. Just about every day well get a call about Hydroxycut Hardcore at some point. Customers want to know, does it work? Is it any good? Will it help me lose weight?
In a nutshell; Yes; Yes; It all depends on your diet and exercise program as a whole.
Products like Muscle Techs Hydroxycut Hardcore are classified as fat burners, thermogenics, diet pills and sometimes complete diet formulas. None of these terms are 100% accurate but you can probably get good idea about what they do from that kind of terminology.
Hydroxycut Hardcore is targeted to the person who wants to decrease their body fat. Like other products in its category Hydroxycut Hardcore utilizes a proprietary blend of ingredients to affect your metabolism in several different ways, all of which set you up for maximum fat loss provided you keep your diet in check and exercise regularly and correctly.
With your diet and exercise in line you stand to get a big fat loss boost from Hydroxycut Hardcore.
If you are not yet exercising adequately or cleaning up your diet, then neither Hydroxycut Hardcore nor anything else is likely to give you good results.
Hydroxycut Hardcore is a great product for someone just beginning a diet and exercise program, who needs a little help in all areas; energy, metabolism, appetite control. It can help get the ball rolling. Once they have their program in place they can wean themselves off the Hydroxycut Hardcore and switch to, perhaps, a preworkout product like Fast Twitch, and just use these types of stimulant products only on workout days, to achieve a more intense and prolonged exercise session.
Hydroxycut Hardcore comes with very specific instructions and warnings that should be carefully reviewed by anyone considering buying and using the product.
