"America's #1 selling weight loss supplement brand — caffeine-driven thermogenic with green coffee extract"
Overview
Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite is the flagship thermogenic from America's #1 selling weight loss supplement brand. The formula centers on 270mg of caffeine anhydrous combined with green coffee extract (C. canephora robusta), which was shown in two clinical studies to support weight loss. The formula also includes coleus forskohlii, L-theanine, and yohimbe bark extract. Hydroxycut has been a dominant force in the weight loss supplement market for over 20 years, though the brand has faced controversies and reformulations over the years. The current formula is considered safe when used as directed.
