Rep Power: 0 | | | How much does trimspa cost by the way? because they sell just bulk hoodia gordinii alone for like 35 bucks for a little over a months worth. I guess it works better as you build it up in your system or something. There are some non responders though so it can be expensive if it doesnt even work. |

Rep Power: 0 | | Is hoodia a stimulant? I'm not sure how I feel about using stimulants to lose weight... my mom took phen-phen when it could still be prescribed and she ended up with a heart murmur and cardio-pulminary hypertension after only taking it for a couple of months. I don't know anything about hoodia though. I personally have had little success with diet pills, herbal dexatrim made me feel light-headed and another pill I tried had chromium picconilate (or something like that) in it and I read in a book that it could cause chromosonal damage so I quit taking it. |

Rep Power: 20 | | Ill be honest... I dont have very high opinions of any of this stuff...I think you need to be real careful and make sure you talk to your doctor before you start anything... I know a girl who was on a weight loss supplement and died... no thanks!
I personally have found that the most success has come when I eat healthy & exercise..its harder work but you will be all over healthier for it. |

i wouldnt trust anything with ginseng in it and its way overpriced for just being an herbal diet aid. i will have to look into it more though. |

Rep Power: 0 | | | Chromium is found naturally in foods such as apples, sweet potatoes brewers yeast and molasses. Chromium picolinate is the form people absorb best.......What picolinate is I have no idea..but I am going to look that up because I take that every morning..... |

Rep Power: 0 | | chromium picolinate is perfectly safe. what it does is stabalize blood sugar and curb cravings. |

Rep Power: 0 | |  i've heard about hoodia before and i'm really curious about it. however, i'm sort of scared to take diet pills, because a lot of people have heart problems and die after taking them  . how safe is it, do you know, and how extensively has it been tested? is it safe to take everyday? my basic theory about diet pills is that i won't be able to continue taking any pill forever so i might as well get used to doing it on my own now, without chemical help. but if hoodia is safe to take on occasion, like if i need to drop a few real fast for a special event or something, then i can see taking it if it's safe. but no pill is worth risking my health, besides they're really expensive, so if they don't work it's a big waste of money. |
