A good hoodia product will definitely help your weight loss program, but I'd get a supplement that has a metabolism booster as well.
I take a supplement called Herbalean, and it contains hoodia and the recently un-banned ephedra Ma Huang. It's made by the people that originally made MetaboLife 356, and their new fomula works very well for me. I have a lot of energy, and have completely stopped snacking between meals.

I tried Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.

Hoodia is becoming more and more popular. It appears to be the new weight-loss fad for 2006. The truth is that there are no clinical studies providing conclusive evidence that Hoodia is effective. Sorry!

"Only one scientific study has been published in which the extract was injected directly into the brain of rats (MacLean 2004). No published double-blind scientific trials have been performed on humans to investigate the safety or effectiveness of Hoodia gordonii in pill form as a nutritional supplement."

Its the main ingredient of Trimspa, and can help suppress appetite. But you still have to exercise, drink lots of water and lower your calories to lose weight--hoodia just makes it easier in that you don't feel hungry or tempted as much.

I haven't tried it, so can't say from expereince, but it seems to me that the way they do there marketing is really odd - for a product that is supposed to be a "miracle", and if it works that well - why is it not available mainstream, and why do they conduct their advertising campaigns more often than not via spam

If it seems too good to be true it probably is.
