Kady:

Hoodia Thin is a popular hoodia weight loss supplement. Instead of the traditional hoodia gordonii diet pill, Hoodia Thin is a liquid product, or also known as a hoodia liquid extract. These liquid products are also called hoodia tinctures. They are all one in the same.

Hoodia supplements are diet pills or liquids that contain hoodia gordonii (in the case of Hoodia Thin or any hoodia liquid product, it contains extracts of hoodia gordonii's active ingredients).

If you'd like to learn more about the different types of hoodia (i.e. pills vs. liquids), I've provided a link below to an article that provides a great explanation on the different types of hoodia.

As for hoodia gordonii itself, it is a cactus-like plant that is found only in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. It has been used for centuries by the local inhabitants, known as the San tribe, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.

Today, the hoodia gordonii plant is classified as an endangered species and there are strict regulations on the exportation of it from South Africa. You will not find "raw" hoodia gordonii. It can only be found in diet pills and products in powder form or as a liquid such as Hoodia Thin.

If you are considering Hoodia Thin or any hoodia diet pill or product, please shop with caution. The majority of the hoodia supplements on the market contain very little, if any, hoodia gordonii. There are 13 species of the hoodia plant, but only hoodia gordonii has the ability to suppress appetite. If the product you are considering doesn't have authentic hoodia gordonii in it, you'll be throwing your money away because they won't do a thing for you!

I've provided a link below to a buyer's checklist that oultines ten things to look for when you shop for hoodia diet pills. By following the guidelines, you'll be able to locate those products that contain authentic hoodia gordonii.

Also keep in mind that despite all the marketing hype and bogus advertising claims, hoodia gordonii only does one thing: suppress appetite. It will not burn fat or magically melt the fat away! All it does is trick your brain into thinking you are full. The idea is if you feel full, you won't eat as much, thus you'll lose weight.

Best of luck to you.
