Hoodia is an appetite suppressant that aids the weight loss. It resembles the cactus plant and is juicy; this is mostly found in African deserts. It is readily available for consumption as powder, capsules, tea and concentrated liquid.

Hoodia appears to be one of the most promising products that can facilitate weight loss. The market is flooded with a large number of Hoodia products that claim is to have pure hoodia 100%. Unfortunately you will find that these products are either inferior or adulterated; it is also possible that these products contain no hoodia.

One set of players are honest and with unquestionable integrity; these companies make sincere efforts to purchase the real hoodia gordonii from authorized dealers so that their customers can get maximum benefits by using their products. Another type is the companies that manufacture and sell products that contain either low grade hoodia or products that do not contain any hoodia at highly profitable prices. Many people look for cheap options for losing weight and they become a prey to such companies.

Importing hoodia which is an uncommon and endangered plant is governed by a number of regulations and requires intensive testing to determine its efficacy. Save your money, and don’t buy hoodia products that cost less than for a bottle. There is another interesting product called Hoodia Gordonii Plus, that contains 50mg of garcinia cambogia as it is known to increase the body’s ability to burn fat. It also includes 250 mg of magnesium, and 50 mg of tea extract for their distinguished properties.

It is important to realize that there is no magic pill that is available for melting the fat in you and this includes pure hoodia gordonii.

It is also essential to perform exercises such as aerobics, walking, treadmill, jogging, swimming and elliptical training at least 3-4 times in a week.

Since the individual’s metabolism varies from person to person it is essential that the dose is varied accordingly. Hence, it is advisable to start with a smaller dosage e.g. 1 capsule per day and increase it over a period of time; it is absolutely essential that you take eight glasses of water everyday and perform exercising routine for a period of 30-40 minutes before your mealtime.

Hoodia Gordonii supplements must be taken for at least two weeks for the results to start showing. You should take this on a continuous basis prior to taking your meals; you must also take sufficient water because hoodia suppresses your thirst and because of this you could get dehydrated.
