"Hydro-Lean" weight loss product seized from two Calgary stores due to serious safety risks

The unauthorized product “Hydro-Lean” was seized from two Calgary stores because the label indicates it contains a combination of ingredients that can cause serious health risks (ephedrine and caffeine). Canadians suffering from heart conditions, high blood pressure and diabetes are particularly at risk. Hydro-Lean is promoted for body building purposes, including for weight loss and increased energy. It has not been approved for sale in Canada.
