Sooo... which hoodia pills are best & cheapest to get?
I doubt I'll ever try it, but might as well learn as much about it just in case right? heh

This sounds fishy to me. Google hoodia and try reading some websites not run by supplement companies marketing the stuff. I think I will pass and opt instead for eating less/exercising more.

Yes, that`s a good advise from BigBear, besides, you shouldn`t search for the cheapest Hoodia, because cheap stuff is not always good. Find a reliable source of the stuff!

I have mixed feelings about hoodia. I don't believe there is any reason for concern in taking it. It is all natural and isn't a stimulate, health wise my doctor told me it was safe and to go ahead and try it if I liked. So I did. I lost weight I won't lie, I didn't eat as much. But I think it was more a mental thing then the actual pills. First of all the instructions say to take it with 1-2 large glasses of water, that alone will help you feel full and help your metabolism. Also, for me I think I was pretty sure these pills were going to help me feel full and I just sort of did... I ran out of pills and didn't really have the funds to buy more so I just continued doing what I had been doing. Drinking the water, exercising etc. Same affect without the pills. The weight is still slowly going down and I'm not paying $40 a bottle for pills!

No matter what though as far as the medical industry goes there doesn't seem to be any health risks, so if you can afford it and it helps you I say go for it!

Good luck

Spectra, yes, sometimes phychologycal stuff is doing more things for us than physical!
I also thought that loosing weight with hoodia is a lot to do with physchology... but it works, really!

But does it really work? Bcos i've been told not to buy frm a website that doent offer a lab analysis and some certificate for prove. and honestly ive nvr heard of the hoodia on officialgenericdrug.com. this is getting me all confused.

I got suckered into trying it for shipping price for 30 days and
the only way you lose weight is by running to the bathroom!!
I had no energy and didnt nothing for the hungry pains ect!
I found that that stacker 2's are gr8 for energy and somewhat
appetite to.Alot of cravings ect can't be solved with a pill it's
call will power for that but I do believe some are good for energy!

I started taking hoodia and agree it helps alot to lesson the amount I eat. I also find I am not craving bread as bad and can go a whole day with out bread. Before I was always eating It felt like I couldn't stop eating. with hoodia I have lost inchs in the fist week i fit in pants that were way to tight an uncomfortable to wear.

ive taken hoodia and it worked for me. it really curbs your appetite.i had no side affects at all.watch what you buy thou. hoodia is expensive.if you find it on the internet at a real cheap price its not real. i have done a lot of research on it. there is a lot of fake stuff out there. i lost 27 lbs on it. the only reason im not taking it now is i cant afford it right now.

Which hoodia did you buy? i have bought several but they do not work?

you have to take the pure hoodia its expensive but its worth it. it really worked for me. no side affects, its great. ive lost 25 lbs when i took it. you have to do a lot of research because there is a lot of fake stuff out there on the internet.if anyone wants to know what worked for me you can email me at tcsroom@mwt,net

A little info on the hoodia fad...

first off, hoodia gordonii is an endangered species. it cannot be harvested without a special permit and certificate. and then it cannot be imported into the US without that certificate and a license from the USDA that allows you to import it. Because of this, it is recommended that you only buy hoodia from sources who have it tested and assayed to actually be hoodia. The permits/licenses etc are what cause it to be so pricey, at least when it is actually hoodia.

ok, even beyond that little tidbit, what is most likely the cause of any "hoodia success" has more to do with a double placebo effect. first off, people buy it thinking it will work, and the mind believes such, and it seems to work. second off, who the hell wants to admit they bought a product, paid out the ass for it, and then it didnt work?

There has yet to be a single REAL study (peer reviewed, double blind, the be all-end all standard in science) published proving either the effectiveness OR the SAFETY of hoodia. The only study done so far was on 7 people (extremely low population), who were all very obese (not a proper population sample), and who lost an average of 10 pounds in 1 month (3.3% bodyweight reduction), while also doing cardio and eating better! We all know that cardio and decent eating will drop 10 pounds a month on its own if you are very obese.

The only real study that has been done so far merely showed that the P57 broke down very quick in the liver, and suggested that it would be very difficult to ingest enough hoodia to have any useful effect. Meaning that the 30 dollar or more bottle you bought would only last you a few days tops at the dosages you would prolly need in order to get any effect, and thats assuming youve actually got a product with real hoodia in it.

concerning the stories about the bushmen in africa, remember that because a certain group of people can eat something on the opposite side of the globe does not mean that it will be safe and healthy for you.

take the info as you like, for those who feel hoodia is working for them, if that placebo effect is what you need then by all means continue. but you might want to ponder the thought of having to take that stuff for the rest of your life... i mean, if you need it that bad to eat right, what are you going to do when you arent taking it anymore?

I have several friends that have used it.....It worked good for all of them..

I realize this is a kinda old thread, but isn't Hoodia Gordonii or whatever the stuff Nicole Richie was taking (the real super expensive stuff) to lose alot of weight?? I read ENTIRELY too much celebrity news websites, but I'm pretty sure she was one celebrity that had been taking that with obvious success.

BTW-I totally agree on the endangered plant comment. Why take the last of what's left? I think they should just let it grow and when there is an abundance, do what you may ... but don't kill off or take all that's left of a special plant that has been used for centuries for the native bushmen. Afterall, don't you think they need it more than we do? They go hungry...we don't. Something to think about.
