i've heard that some places sell bad hoodia that's not natural or doesnt contian the stuff that makes it work and that it's very rare and takes years for the plant to develop it. so i want to know who has it or any other diet pill suggestions that can work to help me lose weight and suppress my appetite. i prefer answers from people who have actually taken this diet pill or others before. also, which ones are bad because i've never taken any?

Hoodia has not been proven to help curb appetite.

Water has! And, it comes free from your tap. I don't mean to be glib about the whole thing, but many times, if you feel hungry, you are actually thirsty. Drink a glass of water, wait 5 minutes, and you'll be amazed at the number of times that that does the trick.

Besides, weight loss pills are not designed for long term effectiveness. If you do not change your diet and exercise habits, then when you stop taking your diet pill, you WILL gain all the weight back. When you see another ad for a weightloss suppliment, read the fine print - it always says that the results are not typical, and were in combination with... wait for it... diet and exercise. Save your money - buy some good running shoes or a gym membership. Exercise is also a proven weightloss method.

You seem to know a lot about hoodia gordonii. You are correct on all the things you mentioned. There are many places that sell inferior hoodia diet pills. In fact, there was a study done last year that found over 60% of the hoodia weight loss pills on the market today are fake (meaning they contain very little, if any, hoodia gordonii).

I have spent the last year researching hoodia supplements and I spend a lot of time in different weight loss forums to get dieters' opinions on hoodia diet pills they are using. Dieters seem to have the most success with Hoodoba or Desert Burn. I've provided links below for detailed reviews of these products.

I've also provided a link to the things to look for when you are ready to buy hoodia. If you don't think Hoodoba or Desert Burn is right for you, then you can use the list to identify the best brands yourself. Like you mentioned, there are places selling "bad" hoodia products so it's important that you be informed so that you don't get scammed.

One thing you'll notice about hoodia diet pills that contain authentic hoodia gordonii, is that they aren't cheap! Hoodia gordonii is scarce right now and the demand for it far exceeds the supply. An ounce of hoodia gordonii costs $40/ounce! At these prices, no legitimate company can afford to give their products away for free or price them below their own costs.

One final note, keep in mind that hoodia itself only plays a small role in an overall weight loss program. If it works (and I say if because it doesn't work for everyone - even if you are taking authentic hoodia gordonii diet pills), all it will do is suppress your appetite. You still need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise. So many people make the mistake of believing that all they have to do is pop a few hoodia weight loss pills and the weight will just melt away. It doesn't work like that at all!

Best of luck to you.

As long as you buy it from a reputable store you will be okay. It needs to say %100 pure hoodia otherswise it is filled with other additives.

Hoodia (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is a cactus-like plant that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.

In the last few years, hoodia has been heavily marketed for weight loss and has become immensely popular.


Hoodia gordonii grows in clumps of green upright stems. Although it is often called a cactus because it resembles one, hoodia is actually a succulent plant.

It takes about five years before hoodia gordonii's pale purple flowers appear and the plant can be harvested.

The hoodia pills that have been consistently verified as pure hoodia, according to Adams, include the Desert Burn brand, the Hoodoba brand from Strictly Health Corp., and the Hoodia Hoodia brand from Millennium Health.

you are correct in your assumption. There are many varieties of hoodia as with other plant types (ie. blue berries, etc). The only variety which aids in weight loss is the one containing the gordonii. As such some shady companies market the product as containing hoodia but not the good kind.
