The Science Behind HydroxyStim

According to the makers of the HydroxyStim diet pill, “team MuscleTech dedicated 18 months to painstaking research and development, tested countless reformulations and product refinements and conducted internal sensory and beta testing to ensure that HydroxyStim would be the most powerful super-concentrated thermo-stimulant available. And when it hits you, you’ll know why.”  This is quite a bit of time in research and development for a diet supplement, though given the ingredients it isn’t quite as revolutionary as they imply.  In each dose of HydroxyStim, you get:

• Geranium Extract (geranium robertianum) – 177 mg – classified as a noxious weed, this plant may contain chemicals that are useful in skin preservation, but HydroxyStim neglects to include any studies related to weight loss effects.
• Caffeine anhydrous – 100 mg – the most common and cost-effective fat burner in the business
• Deanol bitartrate (with DMAE) – 17 mg – may help improve exercise performance
• Yohimbe Bark Extract (pausinystalia yohimbe) – 40 mg – supplying yohimbine and rauwolscine – may function as stimulants
• Huperzine Extract (huperzia serrata) – 13 mcg – may potentially improve mental performance in those with Alzheimers or senile dementia

HydroxyStim claims these are 5 of the purest and most potent ingredients, but from our research and experience, they are pretty standard in many diet pills.  They are all included for a specific purpose, but only a couple have a lot of real evidence of being useful in weight loss.

Safety Concerns:

To make sure this formula isn’t too strong for you, as it contains a decent dose of caffeine, you should start with just one pill per day for a few days and then move up to the recommended dosage of three per day.  If you’re sensitive to stimulants, at first HydroxyStim could cause headaches, nausea, indigestion or insomnia. Make sure to drink plenty of water with any diet pill (and in general – it’s good for your health!).

HydroxyStim Lowest Price

HydroxyStim isn’t messing around on price. One bottle of these diet pills (100 count) will run you $60 at approved MuscleTech retailers. You can find it for less in other places online, but this comes without a guarantee. You’re going to want the guarantee.

Does HydroxyStim Work?

Based on the ingredients in HydroxyStim, we’re really not that confident in its effectiveness as a diet pill.  Yes, it contains a stimulant (caffeine) that is proven to work for weight loss and yes, DMAE may improve muscular performance in a workout, but there really isn’t enough clinical evidence regarding the rest of the ingredients, much less the MAIN ingredient (geranium robertianum) and their usefulness in a diet plan.  HydroxyStim has a pretty package and is marketed on a nicely designed web page, but it doesn’t have as much depth to it as the top diet pills we’ve seen.
