I know that I saw a lot of products on the shelf claiming to contain Hoodia the last time I was at Wal-Mart. I'm sure if you find it there, you'll find it everywhere. You have to really read the packaging, though. You want to look for something that says it's real hoodia, but I'm not sure what exact wording you need to be looking for. Since this is still pretty new, and not endorsed or controlled by the FDA, I'd lump it into the same category with most other fad drugs that are shown to either not be safe, or not be as effective as they promise. DIdn't I hear something recently about Oprah using Hoodia? If so, there might be a mention of a specific product on her tv show's website. That might be a good place to start. Or go to a GNC or other health food store and start asking questions.

Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.

**** 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.
