Mmm... seems like the Hoodia sellers are answering your question (first two responses). Shame on them for targeting a minor.
There has not been a credible university study to prove that Hoodia will help you lose weight. The FDA has not sanctioned this product for ANYTHING. Please don't look for a quick fix - pumping your body full of chemicals (even if they are naturally occurring chemicals) at your age is a DANGEROUS thing.
Please, just focus on healthy eating and exercise habits. That is the only proven way of staying in shape. And, if you get into a routine as a teenager, you are more likely to stay at a healthy weight as an adult.

Looks like you have to be 18 yrs old to purchase. I attempted to put the product in my "cart" as I entered an on line place. It didn't' ask about age except for marketing purposes...the minimum age bracket was 18-25 so I would say 18. But I am sure if someone under 18 wanted to buy it they could probably get away with it. If you are under 18 you should talk to your parents though to help you monitor adverse side effects. So be careful and Best wishes!
Actually when I went to quote my source I couldn't locate the original site which didn't seem to be concerned about age. I read that hoodia has no know side effects...but still beware since it may be so new that the side effects may still come to surface!

No, you don't have to 18. But not all hoodia suppliments are as effecitve as others, and it only works on about 60% of people. Try it, it can't hurt you.

Yes, you have to be 18 to buy any weight loss products.
