Bigbeck I just recently received my Hoodia, and I have to say, that it definitely curbs the appeitate for at least 3-1/2 hrs in the morning and in the afternoon when I take them, I am not hungry for alot longer, I tried the Zeta's and they just did not work, I was HUNGRY!! so I am praying these work!
but it's only been 2 days so far

Just stumbled across this forum so thought I would share my Hoodia experiences with you. I've tried a couple of different Hoodia brands over the last few months (like everyone I have been amazed by the hype surround this new miracle cactus!!). The worst I tried was Desert Burn (*************). It sounds so incredible on their site but when I actually got down to taking it I started getting really bad stomach pains and a lot of wind! This put me off Hoodia for a while but then my friend suggested a new product called Hoodia SA Complex (*************) and I must say it is wonderful. I tentatively bought one bottle to start but after about ten days I really started to notice a difference and bought more. The delivery was super fast I didn't have to wait around. I've been taking it for two months now and I've lost about 12lbs! It might not work for everyone but it has certainly worked for me.

I've tried them and like you noticed I ate less the first day, but I am still undecided whether they really helped a lot. I am going to take them a bit longer.

I'm thinking of ordering the zetacap samples after reading some of the reviews

I absolutely LOVE Hoodia!  The best brand I've tried so far has been Hoodoba brand 750mg capsules!  These things ROCK!!!  Just ONE capsule at a time kills my hunger for up to 4 hours.  I can't imagine what 2 capsules at one time would do!  I lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks (which I know is not a lot, but really I don't have a lot to lose!), & they have KILLED my hunger & cravings!  It's just too good to explain!  [8D]
Good luck to everybody!
I would HIGHLY recommend these, although they are a bit pricey at $52/bottle of 60.  To me it's worth it though!!!  [;)]

I have been researching hoodia for some time and I must admit that it was a struggle but I ended up buying some from Pure Hoodia in the UK. It seems that they sell just about the same thing as Hoodoba but they were in the UK so I thought I would give them a go. I only got them yesterday but I will let people know how I get on if they are interested.

Hoodia can be a hit or miss depending on the person. I know people that swear it does nothing for them, and others who live by the stuff.

There's some bad products being sold so make sure to do your homework before buying. Here's some reviews of hoodia products *************************

FACT ABOUT HOODIA

Hi,
In Finland, a Governments Custom Laboratories checked this product. It had about 20% of different fibers out of fruits, and it did not had any new or previously unknown entzyms in it that might effect on your weight. Rest of the pills were normal filling and binder materiald for medical industry.
Marketing this product is forbidden in Finland, because it is just a fraud. As any other fast and easy way to loose weight in that matter.
Only way to do it (and will be) in healthy way is to eat healthy and have exercise

Hi All,

Let me start with full disclosure - I work for a company in the USA that researches and sells Hoodia products.  While we do sell a Hoodia product, I know most people here are from the UK and we do not ship to the UK.  So my point for posting here is not to drum up business.

That being said, I (in my humble opinion[:)]) do think we have some excellent articles on how to research the best Hoodia products on the market.  Our site is http://www.hoodia-advice.org and you will see we have 5 lessons on Hoodia Gordonii.

I agree with what has already been said here - do your own research and make sure you get a pure Hoodia product.  Hopefully some of the articles on our site will give you some good background on the wonderful world of Hoodia[:)]

Thanks,
Dan

Here is a quick update on the hoodia I bought last month from *********
Lost 6lbs in a month by taking the hoodia and eating a more healthy diet. Might have lost this weight without the hoodia but it is so much easier to eat well when taking the hoodia capsules.

Have just started my second pot and hope for more of the same. I can post again next month if anyone is interested?

I have been trying to do some research on Hoodia. I've even tried to be very aware of website addresses to determaine if there maay be a bias in the information. So far I've determined that za750 and Hoodia 911 have the highest amount (mgs) of the Hoodia and the Hoodia 911 comes with 90 pills rather than the customary 60. Does anyone have any feedback on either of these products?

Also, would anyone be willing to share their most recent results? I'd love to give one of them a try but I hate wasting my money and feel very cautious of the scammers.

Thanks. [:I]

Hi All,I,m just replying to all of you who are interested in buying "Pure Hoodia" in the uk,firstly they do work but I had to have over four tabs each day to really make a difference to my appetite,and even then my appetite was returning,however I had only ordered the one bottle to try them so I got through them really quickly as they certainly dont seem to contain enough of the hoodia,this time Im waiting on my Hoodooba coming from the states and I certainly have a good feeling about these,as these are the ones Lesley Staal tryed on the 60 minutes prog, and lost all appetite with.

I've just started taking mine today from *********** these were £17.95 for 1 bottle. They are 1000mg each with 60 in a bottle.
I took them at 8.30am, and already feel like I've ate my entire cupboards, but could be placebo, so I'll keep updating.

I ordered mine before I realised that there were soo many fakers out there, so hopefully I aint been scamed, I didnt check for certificates or anything, although I have done some reserch after realising. Apparently the real 'hoodia' wont be ready till 2008, anyone heard this?

Last night my husband and I received two brands of Hoodia that we had ordered.

One is called Hoodia 911, it's through Slimciti.com, the bottle has 90 tablets, it claims to be pure Hoodia Gordonii and claims to have 800mg per tablet. We got 2 bottles for about $49.

The other is called Desert Sun 750, it has the seal on it that claims to be "Guaranteed South African Hoodia Gordonii, it has 60 capsules per bottle, claims to be 750mg per capsule and it too claims to be pure. We got it on ebay for 3 bottles at about $40.

We are both starting the Desert Sun brand first. I took 2 last night and did manage to ward off the late night snacking. We both took 2 tablets this morning at about 5:30am before we went to work out. We ate about 2 bites of a protein bar on the way. At about 8am this morning I ate a small bowl of hight protein cereal with soy milk and he ate a couple of chicken strips, homemade so no breading. We coat them in nut meal from Trader Joes.

We will both take 2 more, the recommended dose, at about 1pm. We are really giving this thing a fair chance and we are coupling it with regular workouts and fairly healthy eating. We won't be eliminating a glass of wine or a treat if it appeals to us but we are hoping that this stuff kills the appetite enough to ward off the grazing that happens off and on throughout the day.

We do have a great motivation. We want to feel confident in bathing suits for a tropical holiday in October. Yahoo!!

We will keep you posted on things as they progress.

Several different sources advised to read the ingredients on the label first. Make sure that the only element is the Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa. If there are other ingredients you have no assurance of the percentages. Skip the thermogenic agents, caffeine and other assorted things that lay claim to dietary success. More isn't always better. The only way you'll know if the Hoodia is working is if it is the only thing you're testing.

The only item that we saw on the labels of the brands we purchased was the substance that made the capsule.

After we got our 2 brands we saw that one had the seal of South African Hoodia and the other didn't. So now we test. We're on day 2 and so far even though I am not a hungry as usual I still get that hungry feeling.

I did an online search and read up on the different brands. There is an independant website that compares the different brands and gives you a breakdown on each rating them from 1 (best) to 10 (not so good. Then I went to ebay for a buy now on one of the brands I selected. The Desert Sun 750 came to us in about 3 days. It gave us 3 bottles, buy 2 and get one free, of 60 capsulesin each bottle for about $40. We take 2 in the morning and 2 in the mid afternooon. The first day I also took 2 more in the early evening. The second day it seems to be working pretty good. Not snacking and choosing good meal choices. Not feeling overly hungry at all. There are some that say it takes a few days to get into your system. (750mg of Hoodia Gordonii.

The second choice we made was for Hoodia 911. I read up omn it and went right to the website that is on the bottle. www.slimciti.com and purchased it from that site. We got 2 bottles of 90 tablets each for about the same price. We haven't tried this one yet. We are going to give the first brand a full chance. (800mg of Hoodia Gordonii)

Good luck and let us know how it goes for you in your search.

A success on hoodia at last !!!!

I used the super slim 400 tablets and these babies actually do work,I was taking around 6 pills a day,2 pills an hour before each meal

The gave me more of a full up feeling just before my meal

Im sure if you get pure hoodia tablets and the site can produce a cert on it being passed i think its a good bet they will work

Got them from ******************They were the cheapest i could find for the super slim 400 as other sites were a quid dearer [:D]

Good luck on your weight loss everyone

I started taking three capsules of hoodia a day three days ago - one at breakfast, one mid-morning and the third at lunch time.  I am a little less hungry but I've slept really badly for the last two nights.  It has taken me ages to fall asleep and I keep waking up through the night.  I'm not tired in the day which is bizarre but I'm sure I should be.  I don't know whether my poor sleeping is due to the Hoodia or whether the warm weather at night is keeping me awake.  Has anyone else noticed similar side effects?

I just did some research on best weight loss products available.  I am definately desperate to loose 100 lbs.  Hoodia was rated #1 on several sights so I thought I would do just a little reasearch on it.  I did order free samples from a company.  So I guess we will see what happens once I get the samples and start taking them.  I am definately looking for some assistance in the weight loss area I have never been this big in my life and no matter what I do I can't seem to shed the pounds even those 4 miles a day just don't seem to help any.  I will post more once I have tried my samples.  If they work good I will order a whole months supply or more.

Babyface, I'm a newbie looking for a miracle cure and have done a fair amount of research, it would seem that the best bet for getting decent Hoodia is from the USA, can you tellme how you got hold of the Hoodooba and have you taken it yet? If so has it worked?

hi, new to this site..i was read all of this forum on Hoodia..and one place it mentions that if we buy from UK and cross it over here in Canada or USA we dont need to pay custom? I ordered from Ebay Desert SUN and so far i dont really see much difference...been on them for over a week now...i also ordered Hoodoba and saw a  bit of difference in hunger..i just finished that bottle of Hoodoba 750mg took forever to get it in Canada plus i had to pay custom.. :( so it comes out very expensive...now i just ordered Desert BURN but in juice form..hopefully i get it soon...they say in juice form cuts hunger right away cause pill form you have to wait to desolve etc etc..harder to take pill form if your not always home or scheduled...i will let you guys know how that worked...i get a funny feeling desert sun is a scam cause the real one that was on 60 min. was desert BURN...but i would be curious if i buy from UK if it would cost me less in all this shipping and handling and custom...

Hi
Just been reading all the comments on Hoodia and never realised how much bad Hoodia there could be!!!
I bought my hoodia off a website called Dermaslim.  They were 700mg each capsule, Hoodia Max they are called.  They definitely make me feel full cause I could usually eat everything in the cupboards but now I may eat a sandwich and half way through I don't feel like eating any more cause I am feeling really stuffed.
Has anyone else tried the ones on the Dermaslim website it was buy two get one free!! £47.00 including P&P for the three (I think, around that anyway)
Going on holiday in three weeks and hope to drop a lot of weight so heres hoping.  I will report back with the results. fingers crossed X[:)]

hi graham, so what are you taking now? guess your from UK...dont worry i live in Canada and when my stuff comes from USA i get hit too with custom and taxes cause i live in Quebec..so we get doubled taxed plus custom...ex: 3 bottles of desert burn 750mg = 165$ canadian + custom, tax so all comes about to 200$ canadian...very expensive...

where in UK are you?

Hey, Ian...I've been taking Hoodoba brand hoodia & it is 750 mg.  It really works!  I feel full for about 3 hours after taking it.  Only problem is, it's pretty expensive!!!  About $52 per bottle of only 60 capsules.  And if you REALLY want to lose weight, you need to take 3 capsules per day.  That would mean the bottle would only last you 20 days, & that would run into a TON of money.  I'm not really using it to lose weight.  I'm just using it to cut back on cravings, & to stave off my hunger for longer periods of time.  I think if I took 3 capsules per day, I would notice a difference in my weight.  But I just can't remember to take it!  UGGGGGGGGG!  I got mine off of ebay from a very reliable seller...but can't remember the ebay i.d. of her right now...sorry!
Good Luck to you!

Hi Guy's, i'm new to here but started taking pure hoodia a couple of days ago.  Things seem to be ok & hopefully will continue and get better as they are meant to take around seven days to get into your system.  I got mine off of ebay (uk)seller is prime-visions they are based in Germany and delivery was exceptionally fast.  They have a lot of good feedback, with lots of people returning for more of their product.

I will post back in a few days to let you know how things are going.  Also got to say 'congrats' to Terri, you must be so pleased. [:)]

Hi everyone - I'm so happy to have found this forum - getting tired of all the websites that are like infomercials! :)  

I also bought my hoodia from Prime Visions on ebay (the german seller.)  They have really positive feedback from 2-time buyers and I even emailed a few of the buyers to get their real opinion on the hoodia - all which came back positive.

I started taking the hoodia a week ago today and noticed that my appetite seemed to lessen and I could just about make it from meal to meal without a snack.  I still get a bit of a hunger fit where I feel like I could raid the house but if I just have a sip of diet pepsi or something like a ritz cracker the hunger feeling quickly goes and I'm back on track.  

I've been taking the pills three times a day, 1/2 before each meal like the seller recommended.

However, this Wednesday I noticed some problems with breathing.  I don't have asthma so to speak but I do have an enhaler just in case I get wheezy due to summer allergies.  (I probably get a new one about one a year, each summer - that's how little I use it.)   Anyhow on Wednesday I noticed my breathing seemed a bit more tight.  I wasn't wheezy but it was like once I would breathe in everything would constrict and it would be hard to exhale again to breathe in again, etc.  I think I must have eventually paniced because it rapidly became worse but after using my inhaler I was okay again.  

Starting today I'm down to just two pills a day - one before breakfast and one before dinner at night.  This afternoon again my breathing got a bit tight.  I don't know whether it is the hoodia or just high pollen in the air or something.  

Has anyone else have any alleric reaction or side effects to report?

Thanks,

Kathryn

Hi there

I've just purchased my first lot Hoodia, after stumbling across it. The BBC's article on it got my curiousity going.  I ordered mine from **************** for 60 capsules, 1 months supply.  They arrived this morning & I will start taking them tomorrow.  The bottle says 100% Pure Hoodia direct from South Africa.  500mg of hoodia gordonii.  says to take 1 capsule 1hr before lunch and again 1hr before dinner with 8oz of water.  

I bought them to boost my weightloss.  For the past 3yrs i've done no exercise at all, due to a sciatica problem.  Luckily tho, i've been pain free since the beginning of this year and decided to get back to the gym etc.  I go 4 nights a week 2 hrs at a time & although my shape is changing and my clothes are getting looser, im not losing a lot of weight, but I am a lot hungrier.  So lets hope Hoodia is the answer for me.  I have 2 stones to shift, but if i can get a stone off for my holiday in 5 wks time i'll be chuffed to bits.

I'll post back on a regular basis to keep ya updated.  

Fingers crossed      (Please no advertising on the forum)

Hi all

I purchased some Hoodia Gordonii plus from Ultra Herbal ******************* on a knee jerk reaction after watching GMTV do an article on a revolutionary diet pill soon to be available in the UK.

I have approx 4 stone to lose after a couple of motorbike crashes, one which parlaysed me for over a year. No exercise and many drugs and steroids later means that I have ballooned and although am up and about now, cannot excercise due to remaining damage to hips & scarred sciatic nerve.

The hospital put me on some diet drug beginning with a 'Z', but they just made me have very very bad runs. They stopped the body saturating fat, but had revolting side effects.

Anyway - I have 4 bottles of the above tables and would really appreciate any comments ontheir success or lack of.

My problem is that I never wait until I am hungry now to eat, I pig out because I am being greedy. That is what I hope to curb.

Anyway - best of luck to the rest of you trying too!

Im sure if you get pure hoodia tablets and the site can produce a cert on it being passed i think its a good bet they will work

Got them from *************They were the cheapest i could find for the super slim 400 as other sites were a quid dearer [:D]

The super slim 400 tablets are working quite well

They are helping me to reduce my hunger in a well balanced diet

I urge you to use the pure hoodia pills as the diet extra ones have a low hoodia content and seem to take a lot longer to work

Good luck !

I just ran across this site this morning. I bought Desert Sun 750 on ebay a few months ago, and it's worked wonders for me. I bought one bottle around 2/24/06. I got it on the 2/27 and started my diet that day. The first month I lost about 12 pounds. I was getting low so I ordered 5 more bottles from the same seller. I'm not a big morning eater, so I take my first pill around noon, the next one around 4, and the last one at 8. My biggest problem WAS snacking at night. I haven't snacked at night since 2/27. As of today, I've lost 34 pounds in little over 4 months. I went off my diet for a 10 day vacation, but didn't gain anything, I ate smart. I went back on my hoodia 8 days ago and lost another 3 pounds. I now have total control of my appetite, and I don't feel deprived. In the last 25 years, that's were every other diet failed me, I gave into my cravings. I count my calories and eat smart now, plus my attitude has changed. I'm doing this more to feel healthy again.

i tried ultra hoodia max 700mg from dermaslim about a week and a half ago. im not sure if its just a wrong one for me or what, but within a few hours of taking it i knew i was going to get diarhea, as my belly started bubbling like it would if you took a laxative. i tried it for about 4 days and had the squits everyday till i stopped. i didnt feel less hungry either. ive heard good reports for this company so not sure why its having a laxative effect on me.

do you think its just wrong for me, or maybe its normal to have the squits and im not taking enough (was taking 1 an hour before meals 3 times a day)

I have taken Hoodia (different brands) off & on for about 6 months now, & I have NEVER had the squirts from taking them.  I have NO idea why it was giving you diarrhea!!!  That sounds awful weird.  I'd advise you to quit taking them & talk to your dr about it if it really bothers you.

Also, for all you people out there who were buying off of ebay with no success, let me tell ya something.  The ONLY, I repeat ONLY brand I would recommend buying off of ebay is Hoodoba brand.  It is genuine.  However, it is very pricey, about $52/bottle of 60 capsules.  It is worth it though if you are serious about using it to curb your appetite.  I only take 1 capsule/day, & that is in the evenings.  I do this to help curb cravings & evening snacking.  I was always a TERRIBLE evening snacker, but not anymore!  Part of this is mind over matter too.  You got to WANT to change your eating habits before any pill will ever work for you!

Hope this little bit of info helped!

Yes,When i ordered some hoodia from the US,not only was it cr@p i also got hit by the postman with custom charges !!

I wish id not paid the custom charges and let them take the stuff back

If you live in the uk just purchase from the uk to avoid the charges

Ive learnt my lesson the hard and expensive way with this hoodia game

I've been going all through the web and this forum most of this afternoon doing some hoodia analysis and boy is this a minefield!  Your comments have all been really helpful, so thank you all for your postings.
I'm almost at "purchase point" for Super Slim 400 from ***************** which a number of you have said works. However, their "product certification" is really old and it is for their "diet extra" product which a couple of you have advised against, rather than for their Super Slim 400. Everyone seems to say not to buy unless you are happy with their certification.  Any thoughts?
 
Also, I would have thought that *****************and ***************************** divisions of the same company.  There are some terrible comments about the latter on the "rip-off" site i.e. the pills don't work and their money back guarantees are not honoured.  Any comments?  Does anyone know if they are actually the same company and whether the .UK mob are good to do business with?  Graham K are you still happy with them please? The .com mob seem to sell Hoodoba rather than Super Slim 400 so I'm hoping that they are referring to the Hoodoba not working rather than the Super Slim 400?
 
I'm worn out with all the analysis - help would be appreciated!  Many thanks.

Hiya all,

I just emailed ****************about this and they have no connection as all with ***********************
Also hoodia-dietpills.com is a us based company selling hoodoba where (************) is a uk based company selling the popular super slim 400 which I have found gave me the best results

I have tried over 7 different brands of hoodia and the super slim 400 was the only one that acutally worked

Hope this was helpful [:D]

Hi GrahamK - that was quick!

Yes - really helpful thanks; I didn't think to actually ask them outright!  I guess if you're happy that they actually work you are not going to be so concerned about their certification so I am going to take the plunge and place an order. I SO hope they work for me, I really am kinda overwhelmed with this weight thing and really need something to help me.  I'll report back once I start using them.

afternoon all,

I've just ordered myself some of these tablets, took one this morning, just about to have my lunch so will have one at some point this afternoon to get through til dinnertime.

What kind of diet are you guys sticking too with these tablets and how much exercise are you doing.

I tend to play some racket sport at least once a week and football once a week, and have just started bike riding again.

I fear that alcohol is my main killer though.

any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

Message for GrahamK

Hi Graham - sorry to put this on you but you seem to be a regular contributor and I have followed much of what you say with confidence so I hope you won't mind me asking you this directly...as you had emailed *******************on a Sunday afternoon and received a reply almost immediately I thought that this showed that they would be good with their customer service.  So I sent them an email with a couple of questions myself that afternoon.  To date I haven't received a reply which has really disappointed me.  They are not answering their phone either.  Forgive me, but it occurs to me that they responded to you immediately becasue you work for them.  Do you?  Is that why you endorse them and their product?

Forgive me for being so confrontational but I want to understand who's comments I can trust on this forum. I don't understand why you would get an immediate response on a Sunday afternoon and I haven't had one in 9 days or why they would put a phone number on their website but not answer it which could mean they are losing a great deal of business.  If they are not answering the phone for sales it strikes me that they certainly wouldn't answer it for post sales concerns and this is exactly what you criticise Hoodoba for.  I emphasise that I really don't mean to be rude to you (I simply want "proof" that this is the right company to buy from) and I hope you will reply openly and honestly.

At jane,

You right just called them and no answer

I think they have stopped taking orders over the phone or something as it mentions about the telephone ordering system not being available

They are quite responsive to emails as i have only ever ordered via the net.

Perhaps you should drop them an email if you have any questions

P.S i have a busy schedule in my life,I have no time to work for these guys [^]

Also jane,

To be frank im just expressing my views about hoodia in general as i have wasted lots of money trying different brands

I am forcing no one to use what i do,Its a totally your choice...But this forum is about sharing ideas and experiences not just selling some ones product.

Please accept my apolgies if you think ive been harsh,But i have had no thanks much on this forum for my contribution

Im going to leave it there

Hi Graham

Thanks for your speedy response - of COURSE I don't think you're being harsh!  I was the one being confrontational!  I would have totally understood if you had fired back with both barrels!  I did already email them plus a reminder and no respoonse - hence why I got spooked by them and was worried that you were a "mole"!!  Glad you're not, because I and I'm sure others, have noticed and appreciated your contributions to the site.  I just want to find a company that I can trust with my order and be confident of.

BTW, would you be prepared to say if you've lost weight using the pills and if so how much and in what timeframe?  I would be really interested and encouraged to know.
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: GrahamK on 09/08/2006 14:05:55
Hiya jane,

The weight loss is from a controlled diet along with using the pure hoodia diet pills.

The hoodia just makes the dieting a lot easier when it reduces your hunger and completes your day with minimal eating

I have to stress you need still need to maintain a good diet along with these pills in order to see results

Im currently on a weight loss of about a stone since i last started but have gone off the rails a few times in these past months [:D]

Its a very good program to run beside your diet as it makes it a lot easier

Hi Graham

Totally understand that there's no "miracle" out there.  I just want/need some help to stick on the fabled "good dieting routine"!!  If the pills can just help reduce those overeating urges I will be delighted.  Good to know you have been able to shift a stone - well done.  I expect to go off the rails as it's part of life and the weight problems that many of us have.  But if the pills will help us get back on the rails then I will be eternally grateful!  Good luck to you.

I put together a FAQ on Hoodia gordonii, there is not yet available any legal diet pill containing extracts of this desert succulent plant. I'd be very wary of accepting any claims made by advertisers or sites claiming to sell Hoodia.

Here's the Hoodia gordonii FAQ: http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/hoodia-gordonii-faq.html
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: GrahamK on 10/08/2006 09:47:10
@sciencebase

you saying there is over 1000+ legit businesses over the world selling fake hoodia and breaking the law ?

I dont buy it,These guys would have been strung and quarted by now

Im not convinced with your blog

I will say there probably is a few companies selling rubbish hoodia (as i have found out to a great cost) But not all these companies can be law breakers and selling a fake product ?

Hi Sciencebase

I've done a huge amount of research on this subject recently and whilst I'm not not claiming to be an authority, or to have interpreted everything correctly, I do believe you'll find that the details in your FAQ are a bit out of date now and they are also perhaps a bit misleading.  (No criticism intended, what isn't confusing and misleading on this subject!).  

The way I read it is this.  Phytopharm have a patent on P57 which is what they called the active ingredient in hoodia gordonii.  They do not have a licence on the actual plant or active ingredient itself which may be grown, harvested and distributed as long as the correct South African licences are obtained.  Phytopharms licence over "extracts of P57" mean that no one else could/should claim to sell "extracts" but this is a scientific term and shouldn't be interpreted as meaning that there is definitely no active ingredient in any hoodia products provided today as a food supplement.  I must say though, it would be good if Phytopharm would continue their experiments on their P57 and make a trustworthy, perfect diet pill.  Know that I would be first in the queue to buy it!  But as they have now sold their licence to Unilever, (i.e. transferring hoodia from pharmeceutical to food industry) who are manufacturers of Slimfast products amongst others, maybe they won't have a real sense of urgency to complete the work!  

In the meantime, lets have a try of some of the other hoodia products out there which whilst they might not be perfected into a pharmeceutical pill, may offer diet help as a food suppliment as long as they contain best quality hoodia gordonii, with no skin and prickles parts and from plants grown in South Africa which seems to have the right conditions to maximise the amount of active ingredient in the plant.

I think the fact that some people are reporting that they have experienced help and hope from such products, means that we should continue trying them whilst the "perfect pill" is still (hopefully) being perfected by the scientists in whichever industry they are in.  That's my view anyway!

Have a look at some of these sites and the links coming out of them which I feel are really helpful and are from current articles written this year (2006).

    (WE cannot provide Free space for these Advertising links)

GrahamK - I spoke to someone from **************and they answered all my questions completely and fairly.  (They have not responded previously becasue of the technical problems they are having currently.) They get their Super Slim 400 from **************who we could buy from directly but as I have given *************** such a hard time in my posts above I feel it only fair to buy from them!!  Also, you speak well of them and I think that recommendations count for a whole lot.

Thanks everyone for your submissions, it's really helped with my research.  I'm going to give these things a try!

Jane,

Have you tried the Super Slim 400 yet? V.Interested, if they work or not. Would love it if they got the thumbs up, if so, I'd go and order (no pressure on you tho').

I saw that Holland and Barrett were selling Hoodia, but after all the horror stories about fakes, I decided to see what's recommended on forums etc.

You and Graham, seem pretty thorough :)

I'd like to add something to this pot - namely some information on a relatively recently discovered hormone called ghrelin.  Ghrelin regulates the energy balance by increasing hunger.  Humans injected with ghrelin have reported intense hunger.  Ghrelin levels increase before meals and decrease after meals.  Reading about ghrelin makes me wonder if hoodia's effect is to reduce the concentration of this hormone.

Hi all,

I've found that the pills really work with controlling the hunger through the day which is great, but am not really noticing the weight loss yet, been on them a week and have lost around 2lbs.

Cut out all Ciders and Lagers, only had a few glasses of wine on the weekend, evening meals are still reasonably healthy such as meat, veg, potatoes, and smaller portions of other meals that aren't quite so healthy!  Also have cut out all bread, so no sandwiches at work, just salads, and at the moment I have ryvita and Philadelphia!

Exercising around 2-3 times a week too.

Hi Niknaksbarbeque

Sorry I didn't respond sooner - having made up my mind which product to buy I haven't checked this site for the last few days.  Well the Superslim 400 arrived this morning and I took two an hour before lunch and I guess I'll take one or two before dinner tonight and see how I feel.  Good luck for when yours arrives.

Brian the Snail - your "recipe" looks good to me, I'm sure you'll have great success if you can keep that up.  I have a terrible problem with bread and I'm hoping that the Hoodia will help me just leave it alone entirely and stick to the Ryvita like you.

I see that Karen the moderator has been through this site with her red marking pen!  Karen , sorry, I didn't realise we weren't allowed to put links in.  It's a shame as personally, I don't see it as advertising, I just see it as a way to point people to the info that is of interest; we'll all make up our own minds about whether we buy or not.  Anyway, sorry, no offence meant.
Good luck everyone.

Recently at the mall someone was selling suckers with hoodia in them.. since my mom and i were going to be working and away from home for a month, and our job mostly consists of driving for many hours each day, we decided we would try them to see if they curve our appetite. we were also told that where hoodia originates, natives SUCK on the hoodia plant, so these suckers would be more benificial than the hoodia pill. we did a lot of research and bought a bulk supply of these suckers. after using them for a month i dont know if they have worked. i havent lost any weight if that helps, i think ive even gained a few pounds. however, i did notice an increase in my energy, which i hear is also a benifit of hoodia.. so i think my mom and i agree that its something sufficient to eat instead of eating a candy bar or something with far more calories, but i dont think it makes us any less hungry..

Hi

Thought I would like to tell you about my experience.  I bought Hoodia 800mg from Vitamin World in Florida.  I started taking it on 7th July when I arrived home.  To date I have not lost one ounce - not even half an ounce - however what I have noticed is that I am toning up - my stomach has gone flatter, my midriff is reducing and both my thighs and upper arms have toned up quite a bit.  I don't actually mind not losing the weight if I lose the fat and inches instead.

Has anyone else noticed this happening to them.

I take one capsule three times a day approx 1 hour before food and I have noticed a significant decrease in my hunger pangs - although I am not a big eater it was what I was eating, chocolate, biscuits, crips etc. all the nice but totally fattening things.  However I now have a breakfast, lunch and main meal - I try to keep them relatively healthy but to be honest sometimes I really have to force myself to eat something so as to keep my blood sugar levels up.

Would be glad to hear any other comments re the toning up bit.

Cheers!

GrahamK, it wouldn't be the first time an industry had mis-sold its products on the basis of active ingredients that don't exist. Homeopathy is a multimillion (if not billion dollar) industry, for instance. The few studies that have analysed hoodia products for the "active" ingredient have shown that many of them contain none or very, very little. It could be that there's another active ingredient but why would Phytopharm not have patented that too...

Either way the San are not gaining from their traditional knowledge in the way that was hoped.

Hi,
 About three days ago I started taking Dex-L10 that I got from the local vitamin store. I take one, half an our before my two biggest meals( lunch,and dinner). I notice my hunger has been decreased and that I get a filling feeling with eating less food. I just started so I am hoping with time hunger feelings go away even more but for being the first couple of days I am very encouraged by what I am seeing.

Is it hoodia, is it placebo? Hmmmm, Not sure. I've been taking the Super Slim 400 for about 5 days now. To be honest I'm completely unsure as to whether they are working or not. I've decided to eat better and do exercise but I'm still want to eat, not sure if I would want to eat more, or not, without the hoodia. Also did anyyone see the BBC watchdog show about hoodia http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/olddogs_newtricks/slimmingpills.shtml? I know that this firm seem dodgy, but had they really researched hoodia properly (disclaimer, I didn't see the program, a work colleague brought up the show this morning then laughed at my gullability "fad diets and hooky diet pills that's the secret" Hmmmm).

Hi niknaksbarbeque

Yes I saw the BBC watchdog show.  I guess it was everything that you would expect i.e. confirmation that there are people out there happy to create "miracle pills" of rubbish for whatever ails you and the "gullible people" that fall into the trap of buying and using them.
 
My view is this.  Years ago, I had some terrible back pain which the recognised medical profession helped me with by telling me to go to bed for 6 weeks with a bottle of opium based tablets.  My back got a little better but I had to overcome a dependancy on the pills which I could have well done without - particularly at such a young age.  I spent years in pain and all my doctor could offer me was pills and surgery.  I looked into alternative help and came across a chiropractor who was achieving fabulous results apparently.  My doctor told me not to touch him as they were all just "quacks" and he could do me irreparable harm.  I had been in such pain for so long and having tried the "proper" medical help with results described above, I tried the "quack".  People looked at me with sympathetic eyes because of how gullible I was to see this man, just the same as some people look at you now if you want to try something alternative such as hoodia or homeopathy.  Well, the result was that, without any drug addiction, this man (a South African) "cured" me.  I still see chiropractors occasionally but lead an active, healthy life albeit a slightly plump one!  As you know chiropractors are now recognised and respected generally.  So my view is, that the "recognised" professions don't necessarily have all the answers right now and you have to take responsibility for helping yourself too.  This kind of communication between ourselves should help us support each other with what works and what doesn't and help us to bypass the "hooky" stuff.  But ignore the sanctimonious types who just want to "paralise" you into inaction becasue you might be "gullible".  I would rather be "gulible" but successful one day.  As I said, I have a good back program without drugs or surgery.  Also, I tried goodness knows how many "gullible" products to help me give up smoking which I did nearly 10 years ago and after 25 years.  So, just the weight to go now then!!

So, to the Super Slim 400......!!  It aint no miracle.  If I carry on eating "normally", which is big on carbs, to be honest I'm not convinced I can tell any difference!  But someone else said previously that best results are possibly achieved with a low carbohydrate diet.  That figures if you think about the San using it with almost no food treking across desert(apart from the odd high-protein snake etc perhaps?!) .  So that's what I'm trying now.  Stricter on the diet and much lower carbs.  I'll report back soon!

Could GrahamK , JaneB  , or anyone else please PM me with the name of a reliable supplier of Super Slim 400 in the uk. I tried doing a PM to Graham but the message just bounced back as being undeliverable. I really fear being ripped of by a disreputable company. It is really unfortunate that links have been removed.

Is it hoodia, is it placebo? Hmmmm, Not sure. I've been taking the Super Slim 400 for about 5 days now. To be honest I'm completely unsure as to whether they are working or not. I've decided to eat better and do exercise but I'm still want to eat, not sure if I would want to eat more, or not, without the hoodia. Also did anyyone see the BBC watchdog show about hoodia http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/olddogs_newtricks/slimmingpills.shtml? I know that this firm seem dodgy, but had they really researched hoodia properly (disclaimer, I didn't see the program, a work colleague brought up the show this morning then laughed at my gullability "fad diets and hooky diet pills that's the secret" Hmmmm).

Thanks but I have done that but I do not know any of these suppliers at all. However I get the feeling that I can trust people on this forum to give me an honest recomendation. Since all links are removed then I have to resort to looking for a PM. The administrator on this forum should have enough up in the smarts dept to work out the difference between  blatant advertising compared to honest advice, then act on a case by case basis. However such common sense has been banished in favour of total inflexibility.

Post by: Greenhill on 25/08/2006 16:02:10
Thanks for that. I had noticed that company. I find their advertising style to be distinctly iffy. In order to get a decent deal one has to buy three bottles. Even if they sell the real stuff their marketing strategy is like a modern day snake oil sales pitch. I am looking for a straightforward advertisment that sells one bottle at a time for a fair price. I am not looking for flashy sensationalism accompanied by a heavy discount for bulk buying. They may be straight. In fact they probably are. However I run a mile from that sort of advertising. Do these people really expect a first time buyer to buy three bottles ? On the other hand do they really think the same first time buyer would be happy to pay a substantial penalty for buying a single bottle ?
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: Greg on 25/08/2006 18:06:31
You can buy one bottle ...lol

Its just an offer if you buy two instead !!

Where did I say that you could not buy a single bottle ? I never said that you could not. Take another look at what I actually said.  Quite simply I do not like that kind of marketing strategy in the context of a  vulgar sales pitch. For a first time buyer there is a real problem of trust because of the sheer number of spivs  milking the "hoodia" market place.

"I am looking for a straightforward advertisment that sells one bottle at a time for a fair price"

You quoted ?

Hoodia is expensive stuff,So dont be fooled be the £9.95 and £14.95 for 800mg etc
Will leave you to do your own re-search on this,This board is to share knowledge
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: Greenhill on 26/08/2006 11:11:05
I would not expect to pay such low prices , I did say "fair price". I reckon 9.95 or 14.95 would be for useless (snake oil) product. However such is my lack of confidence in the marketplace  I would not assume that just because I paid 20 to 25 quid for a bottle that I would be getting the right stuff.

 What I am really looking for is for someone to say that they have personally bought from a particular retailer. You did not exactly say that.

What do you mean by "knowledge". Let me guess.... suppose I shared my personal experience of using hoodia  after having got hold of the real stuff. I figure that would satisfy you. So I shall post my views for scrutiny and comment after I have got some.

First things first. I have to get the stuff. So for the furtherence of "knowledge" my enquiries  are perfectly reasonable. In fact for the furtherance of well informed debate it is vital that consumers can confidently obtain genuine effective hoodia.

I now gather that it is ok for folks to give such advice as long as the post does not contain links to the vendors website. That seems reasonable to me.

Hi Greenhill and Greg

Isn't hoodia a frustrating subject?!!  I still struggle to see the offence at giving weblinks - but hey, what do I know?  Greenhill, I so agree with you about the website that Greg mentioned but didn't give you the link to!  I have actually spoken to a chap from the company and was totally happy with him. He was open and honest about thier products and knows that their site could do with improvement; they are looking to update it shortly apparently.  I bought from them and was totally happy with the transaction.  A number of people on various forums have reported good results with Super Slim 400 (irrespective of where they bought it from). Personally, I have found it to be totally ineffective when eating "a balanced diet" but I am big on carbs by choice.  I was going to try a low carb routine but never really got under way properly - I wasn't planned properly I guess.  But what I have tried is to eat "almost nothing" during the day (perhaps a couple of peices of fruit and loads of water and a little fresh juice) and then have a "sensible" evening meal and I'm pretty sure that the Super Slim 400 helped me to stick to it.  I felt really comfortable all day and didn't go too beserk when I did eat - usually I would have been ready to roll up the carpets and eat them by the evening!  Now I know loads of people will disagree with this approach for all sorts of good reasons - I'm just saying that for me, a restrictive routine is often best and that I do believe that in those circumstances, the pills helped me.  I had to slip off the routine to fit in with some family festivities but I am going to give it another try because I think there's a chance it might work and that the pills may help.  If so hurrah!

Hi Jane and thank you Greg. I  have not bought any Hoodia yet but I am still thinking about doing so.

 Jane I was wondering if it took a number of days for the superslim to take effect .I have read that it can take as long  as 15 days for the hoodia to "kick in" and an effect to be felt. On the other hand from reading  different reports it seems to work for some people much sooner . Was there a long lead up before the period that it helped you ?

Greg what is your experience of using Hoodia ?

Hoodia can be quite decieving when you see what is sold,Ive been using the super slim 400 capsules and they seem to be reducing my hunger (thats on 6 caps a day)
Could up the dosage as advised but will give it till the end of the week before i change my program.

Been taking Hoodia (Super Slim 400) now for about 1-2 weeks, so far not really noticed any massive difference in my hunger. Think this could be due to me eating due to boredom at work rather than hunger (or hoodia not working). Tried Zetacap and it didn't work for me either.

I need something that will actively make me not want to eat (e.g. sick feel when you've ate too much). Was thinking of trying Phentermine, any experiences?

Hi kids!  I just went back and read every post for this thread, and I'd like to throw in my 2-cents worth...

I tried the Desert Burn Hoodia, taking 4,500 mg per day (that's two capsules, three times a day - twice the "recommended dose".)  I used it for a month.  After a couple of days I though it was maybe working a little.  Then I realized it was just a fluctuation of my own body, because my appetite went right back to normal.  No extra energy, no toning, nothing.

So, being the desperate, gullible person I am, I tried another brand (sorry, can't remember the name) for another month.  Again, no effect whatsoever.  I have "researched" hoodia until my eyes ache.  Every brand claims that theirs is the ONLY one that works.  And 99% of them have certificates "proving" their authenticity.  Doesn't mean a thing.  (Also, although most of them offer Iron Clad Guarantees, I see that actually getting a refund from these companies is almost impossible.  What does that say about the quality of their product?)

So, my final (bitter) conclusion is that the hoodia available today doesn't work for most people.  The few people for whom it does work seem to have found one particular brand that works for them.  What works for one person is "sawdust" for another - which tells me there is probably a good bit of "placebo effect" going on here.  I haven't got $50+ to throw away every couple of weeks, trying every new brand, hoping to hit on one that works for me.  When an industry standard is established for the product, so that I have some real assurance that I'm getting what I'm paying for, maybe I'll give it another go.

I have noticed two different types of superslim 400 bottles. One has a woman smiling whilst clutching a set of scales and the other has no picture but a sort of curved rainbow design surrounding the product name.

Are they both the genuine article ?
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: JaneB on 11/09/2006 17:43:05
Hi Greenhill
If it's any help, my bottles have the smiling woman with the scales.  I'm pretty confident that they are "the genuine article" from the certification that I checked into when buying.  However, whether they have actually been formulated appropriately to contain the active ingredient in a potent way is a point I'm happy to debate!  By this, I mean does the process of making the genuine cactus into a tablet destroy the active ingredient perhaps?  I don't know.  But for me, I can't say that they are helping to the extent that Alison1 describes and I think that most of us really need at times.  I.e. if I'm largely motivated to "be good", I think that they do help keep me being good.  However, if I'm "out of control", they do not make any difference to me.  They do not overcome my being "out of control" and put me back in control.

I must say though that I would be really interested though if everyone who said that the pills have definitely helped them reported that they had the curved rainbow on their bottles!!

Good luck everyone.

I'm also off to South Africa at the end of the month. Any pointers to where I can get the product locally in South Africa???

Many thanks

I started with hoodia that I descovered here in Brasil, from SLim Lab, with 0800 number they say what pharmacy makes hoodia in your country and town. In 15 days I transformed my bad mood in a good mood. But I decided to ask my british sister send british pills to me, and when I started the british one´s, they didn´t work well like the brazilians, then I´m comming back to the brazilians, that are here, near me, but cost a litle more. To my sister in London those UK ones are working great, she is taking this for 2 or 3 months, better them that dermaslim, from usa, that was her first choyce. Luck for us. [:I]

Hi everyone,

I'm 18 and have been unhappy with my weight for quite a long time.

I weighed around 12 and a half stone last year but I now think that I am hitting 14 stones now.[:(]

I've recently heard of this hoodia product and am quite interested but worried that I could be spending money on something that could leave me feeling worse than I do now.

I've tried many diet supplements before, some in excess, and none of them have worked.

As I said I am very interested in this hoodia product but so many different companies are selling it and I suppose I'm a little but baffled.[?]

Can someone please tell me if there are stores in London or somewhere in the UK where I can buy a hoodia product (that is guaranteed to work) over the counter that has worked for you.

If not can someone please give me a UK based link where I can order the real stuff at a fair price.  Deals for 3 for the price of 2 will be highly appreciated.  If USA shipping, and postage and packaging is free can I please get addresses or links for them to.

Thankyou.

Hi everyeone,

I am new to this site and am thinking about taking this to help me with the extra baby fat that I have around still.  I would like to lose about 20lbs or more to get down to 130lbs.  I have a few questions about this stuff though?

1.  Does it make you jittery like all the other "fat burners" and stuff out there?

2.  How much weight has everyone lost from it? If any?

3.  What brand did you buy?  And where?  You can email me that question so your not advertising.

4.  Is it safe, has anyone had any negative side effects?

I am also exercising, but that doesn't seem to be getting rid of the extra weight.


Thanks for any help.

Kara

Can anyone who has been taking Hoodia tell me, I know they are supposed to have no side effects, but as you lose your appetite, do you get any of the light headedness you would normally feel when you don't eat properly?
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: Dawn Moll on 28/09/2006 21:53:50
I can only tell you I feel fine. It has enabled me to make healthy choices as I don't really fancy ANYTHING. But i'm sane enough to know I need vitamins fron food. No side effects for me tho.[:)]

Sometimes you may feel a bit light headed,As im sure as when the hoodia works and affects your diet this can lead to the feeling dizzy
Make sure you use real pure hoodia as there is a lot of tat on ebay and the net that is 100% fake
The super slim 400 is a proven product and ive been using it for a while now and its working great in my current diet by reducing my hunger

The price of it reflects that it cant contain real hoodia as well !
I used it ages ago and it never made any difference

This is funny as hell, you (almost) *all* sound like hoodia scammers trying to scam each other. Look at the "number of posts" of the authors.

Guerilla marketing<>Gorilla marketting.

The cactus, when chewed for a second or two, surpresses appetite for more than 10 hours. Totally.

If you're buying "Hoodia" and you can't quite tell if it's working, then it ain't hoodia.
Never take someone elses word for anything on the 'net (including mine).
Look up the legal issues too. Most companies could not legally be using hoodia, or it's active molecule.

Notice I used the word "almost" and didn't stoop to any personal attacks. If you read the bulk of earlier posts you'll see people with low post numbers stating that they used band x and it works, some actually tring to post links. Fishy?

Anything over 500mg is rubbish and not real,As this hoodia stuff is very expensive as i have stated in previous posts
There is too many companies advertising 800mg and 1200mg for like £10 to £20 a bottle !
This is not possible due to proper hoodia costs

Beware of the outfit reccommended by Greg . I read through all of the posts in this forum very carefully. I decided to order from the company he recomends:  hoodia-dietpills.co.uk . That was six days ago. I have had nothing in response. They have over 50 quid of my money and yet I have nothing. Not even a confirmation e-mail. I tracked down their telephone number and yet I get no respnose except for a voicemail service. This is very poor customer service. Have they gone bust ? Are they con artists ? I do not know. All I know is that they have my money and I have nothing. They claim on their website to send the goods by first class post........... well six days is a little too long for first class and do they not answer the phone.
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: SuperDiet on 31/10/2006 11:30:51
I ordered from them and they delivered in 5 days !
Mind you, i did order mine over the net though,So i cant comment on the them not answering the phone.
Also i got a email reciept from them once i ordered ?

How did you order ?
Title: Re: Hoodia diet pills do they work?
Post by: MrJ on 31/10/2006 13:28:37
Well now I have received mine in  7 days. The 7 days is not the real problem. The real problem is the lack of communication from the vendor. According to their website items are sent First Class Recorded. Nothing more is said. They could easily add that there may be a delay before they actually send the item.

In addition I would suggest that you may not have got an e-mail receipt from them but an auto generated receipt from paypal. Such auto responses are received by anyone using Paypal. What I got was one such computer generated receipt from paypal : that does not count as genuine personal reassurance.

Having said that if they sent me a  ready prepared e-mail ( something that they could use over and over again) which thanked me for the order and explained that they only posted on certain days or there is sometimes a delay in posting then I would find that to be acceptable. They could do that easily but do they bother ? Answer  NO !

So after 6 days of nothing I start to get frustrated and phone them up only to be greeted by an answering service. All day all night an answering service. The answering service had an auto message from their telephone company. Not the voice of a  person within their company. The message service cut me short. It only gives a limited amount of time. Can they not go out and buy a proper answering machine so customers can at least hear a real voice and get the chance to leave a proper message ? Better still why not just answer the phone.

 I had previously got in touch with an issue regarding difficulties in making a payment using their e-mail service on the website but they never got in touch with me. I did manage to make the payment but I still had a genuine concern so I did not bother e-mailing them on this issue. If they do not respond to e-mails what is the point in sending them.

The fact that they did not respond to that e-mail made me predisposed to distrusting them. So when the goods did not arrive quickly I began to worry.

All I needed was a bit of contact.  Now I have got the goods but it has been an unpleasant experience.
I am afraid I was a bit rude when I left a message on an that abysmal answering service so it has ended up a bit unpleasant for them.

The items were also poorly packaged and one of the bottles was damaged in the Royal Mail Machinery.I got three bottles  rattling around in a big jiffy bag. The bag should have been folded over and secured properly with packing tape to give extra padding and to prevent the bottles moving around.

The lesson to be learned here is that a little bit of customer service goes a long way. It need not take up a lot of time or cost a penny but it makes all the difference.

Hello All,

My name is James and I run a company which sells hoodia gordonii in the UK and in the US.

I am not about to start promoting my product or critising others.

All I will say is that you should do your own research and sadly, you cannot believe everything that you see on this site or on the web in general. Many of the posts here are not unbiased, be warned.

If there is anything that I can help with then I will try and visit this forum as regularly as possible and offer any advice I can, but I would rather stay away from commenting on particular brand names as it will only cause problems in an industry that needs no help in confusing the customer!

Finally, I would like to say that hoodia gordonii is a very good appetite suppressant and works for the vast majority of people, however, it is not a miracle product and you cannot lose weight unless you burn off more calories than you take on.

Best of luck to all those trying to lose weight and I hope that my post helps.

Hoodia works if you expect to suppress your appetite.
It is not weight loss pill, but if you make exercises while taking hoodia pills, it will be a plus for you diet

Most of the Hoodia pills are more filler and such than the actual fruit. As such they are not terribly effective. If you can get the freeze dried Hoodia fruit that is hard to fake, as it is an actual slice of fruit that is freeze dried and packed. It is a somewhat spiky slice with a green rind and a pulp inside containing seeds.

I do know a guy who makes this, but am not advertising him ( sorry) as the forum requests this. He also grinds the cosmetic reject dried Hoodia and packs it into a capsule, and he gave me some free samples to try. Tried them on and off, but cannot say about efficacy. I do know this is available in the USA, probably best to look online for it.

I agree with what you are saying but it is possible to get it cheap if you are willing to spend big and get a bulk discount. So some companies can sell high quality hoodia at a good price.

A friend of mine uses Hoodia Patch for the past 3 months or so and she says that it is working right for her and she has not experienced any kind of complications. It would take you some amount of time to get the results. Apart from Hoodia Patch, there are several other slimming diet pills available like Mod edit - Link removed etc which you should certainly have a look on.

Before taking any kind of natural supplements you should review them, i found this http://reviewsdiets.weebly.com/1/post/2014/03/about-hoodia.html   
Hoodia is pretty good, but you must be sure you don't have any disease listed on the article. :(!
Do a lot of excercise and a good diet.
