A Safe Cleanse

The Hydroxycut 7-Day Cleanse, which has been recalled. The cause of this recall is a serious health risk that results from the combined effect of some of its active ingredients. Health experts have already been questioning the safety of the primary active ingredient in Hydroxycut, which is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), but it is the combination of the ingredients within Hydroxycut that have caused the recall.

The Hydroxycut Complete 7-Day Cleanse product was one in the form of a pill that claimed to be able to cleanse the body by removing toxins. The label of the product listed over thirty active ingredients, each with various purposes, from diuretics to laxatives. Dangerous ingredient combinations aside, even taking diuretics and laxatives this strong can have consequences as it causes the body to quickly dehydrate and throws off the electrolyte balance.

Health problems associated with Hydroxycut, manufactured by Iovate Health Sciences, Inc., have been primarily related to the liver. Health Canada’s public warning went out on May 1, 2009 advising any users of the product to discontinue its use immediately due to the liver damage that had been reported by several people to the FDA in the United States. Currently, no Hydroxycut products, including the Complete 7-Day Cleanse pill, has authorization to be sold in Canada.

Health Canada itself has received 17 separate adverse reaction (AR) reports from within the country, though these were regarding other bodily systems and not the liver. Canadian AR reports relating to Hydroxycut products were related to the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems. There is currently a review underway by Health Canada to further investigate the Hydroxycut ingredients, formulas, and dosages, as well as other factors that may cause Hydroxycut products to be a health risk.
