It did give me energy... BUT I decided to take CLA instead so I have put the Hydroxy cut on hold for now... the CLA is natural... so I figured I would give that a try for about a month or two and see what kind of results it would give, then I would try the Hydroxy if the CLA doesn't work.. but for the 2 days I took it, I did feel like I had energy and my appetite was curved a bit... just a tad...
