Question: What if I take hydroxycut max advanced for women but I'm only 13?
I was just wondering if something horrible will happen since it's not intended for people under 18.

The whole under 18 thing is for the lawyers since this stuff doesn't work anyway.
Okay so I'm going to manufacture a product called Hydroxycut and say that it causes weight loss.
In 2003 I am going to get sued and lose for making the false claims that my product is a 'clinically proven fat burner"
Then in May of 2009 the FDA is going to come in and shut me down for making unsubstantiated claims again and force me to repay $30 million to customers I sold the unproven product, including the ones with liver damage and the family of the one person that DIED from using the product.
Now I'm going to lay low for a bit and "reformulate" a product that now contains nothing more than herbs, spices, and mostly caffeine.
Now in July of 2010 the FTC is going to fine me $5.5 million for claiming my products not only cause weight loss but also treat or prevent colds, flu, allergies, and hay fever. Wow!
And yet current law still allows then to operate.
Now after 6 months I'm going to launch a huge ad blitz with a lot of "trick" language that lets me continue to sell a product with absolutely no clinical evidence or documentation.
If any of this stuff worked, why would 2/3 of US adults be overweight or obese?
We would be lined up without having to spend a dime on advertising.
These supplement manufacturers are using humans (you) as guinea pigs with these unapproved products.
As long as no one gets sick or dies, or they don't get fined or shut down, they will continue to make and peddle this crap under current law.
They don't care whether it works or not as long as they get your money.

Hydroxycut was actually recalled a year or so ago, as it caused liver damage. They came out with their "new" formulation only a few months after the recall. I highly doubt they had the time to do any significant clinical studies in those short months. As far as I am concerned, no one should be taking this weightless pill.
Speak to your doctor about healthy ways to lose weight without resorting to these dangerous pills.
