Hoodia is nothing more than a mild appetite suppressant, it has no effect on the metabolism. if your wife has a problem with overeating, binge eating, etc. most likely those same problems will return once she stops taking Hoodia.

I personally haven't tried it, but based on my research of the hoodia industry the past year, I would advise your wife to consider other brands.
The reason being, H57 Hoodia has a terrible track record in terms of the authenticity of the product. Only authentic hoodia gordonii has the pontential ability to suppress appetite. The problem is, the majority of the hoodia diet pills on the market today contain very little, if any, hoodia gordonii - and unfortunately, Hoodia H57 is one of them.
Millennium Health, the largest raw exporter of hoodia gordonii in North America, along with Tom Mangold of the BBC, had H57 Hoodia tested by an independent lab in 2005 and then again in late 2006. Both times the product failed - meaning, it contained NO hoodia gordonii.
The ironic thing is, the CEO of the company behind H57 Hoodia claims that they are the only company that sells real hoodia gordonii. Since hoodia diet pills are supplements, they aren't regulated by the FDA. As a result, companies can pretty much make any claims that they want.
Furthermore, if you go to the H57 Hoodia website, they don't provide any documentation such as a CITES certificate to prove they use authentic hoodia gordonii in the Hoodia H57 product. They also don't show any ingredient information on their website. All they say is that their product contains hoodia gordonii, green tea extract, and cinammon extract.
I've provided a link below to a detailed review of H57 Hoodia. I encourage you to read it before your wife makes a purchase. I'd hate to see her throw her money away.
I've also provided a link below to an article that outlines the 13 things to look for when you buy hoodia. By following the guidelines in the article, you'll be able to find a real hoodia gordonii diet pill. After reading the criteria outlined, I think you'll see why I wouldn't recommend Hoodia H57. If your wife is serious about taking a hoodia diet pill, there are far more effective products to choose from.
Best of luck to you (and her).

Yes, Hoodia does work. I've used it, and I thought it was a great appetite suppressant overall.
TIP: Lay off the candy bars and extra cokes, the extra sugar will override it's hunger suppression tendencies and it won't work. That's just my opinion from personal use.
But it DOES work.
You can find a fact sheet on Hoodia, as well as advertisers who give away free samples on this page if you want to try it with no out of pocket costs....

they are issues that may in basic terms be got here across after 1000's and 1000's of trials. and of direction, strict limit desires to be in place. inspite of the undeniable fact that, because of the fact the inspiration of technology is often changing with the aid of new discoveries, we ought to even have sympathy to the drug corporation besides. they are actually not miracle makers, they only attempt to make revenue by way of merchandising some thing that they "think of" might help people. think of the worldwide devoid of antibiotics and different medicine, how many people might ought to die? If we agree that technology can get replaced, the drug corporation will possibly not have an excuse of increasing medicine expenditures because of the fact of regulation fit.additionally if we seem on the different section that has used the socialist device it has slowed down and did not stay as much as its Utopian promise. No device is suitable yet open and unfastened marketplace is the final available.
