Answer: I think Hoodia Gordonii is use for weight loss !here i find some information regarding hoodia that is : " Hoodia Gordonii (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is also called hoodia, xhooba, khoba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus, is a genus in the plant family Apocynaceae, in the part of the family previously treated as a separate family Asclepiadaceae. Hoodia Gordonii is a leafless succulent plant that has the appearance of a cactus and originates from the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, especially in plains and rocky areas. The use of Hoodia is long known by the indigenous populations of Southern Africa, who infrequently use these plants for treating indigestion and small infections. Hoodia is a cactus that's causing a stir for its ability to suppress appetite and promote weight loss. Hoodia Gordonii is famous for its effects as an appetite suppressant and mood enhancer. Excellent results have been obtained from people using it as part of a weight loss program, leading to many international companies making and selling Hoodia as a 'new miracle diet pill'. Hoodia Gordonii is a well known appetite suppressant and mood enhancer. " I give you a resource where you find all informationm regarding hoodia & all top brands hoodia supplements .

Question: where can i buy pure hoodia gordonii diet pills here in the philippines? hi! im from the philippines and wants to know if you would know anyone selling original or pure hoodia gordonii here in the philippines. i've heard there's a lot of fake ones being sold.

Answer: Why don't you simply exercise more? Hoodia? .everyone misses the most important aspect..exercise...if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that. 1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day 2.) drink lots of water 3.)exercise every day 4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

Question: Is hoodia gordonii worth looking into? I have started on a quest to shed some pounds and get healthier recently. In order to do this I have been counting calories (1,450 per day) and jogging two miles every morning (I'm planning on increasing my distance/pace as time goes on). My problem is that, in spite of eating 5-6 small meals a day and drinking 2 litres of water, I always seem to be hungry. I'm assuming that this is just my body adapting to my change in eating habits (I've always stuck with healthy foods (i.e. no fast food/fried foods/sugary foods), but now I am eating much smaller portions). So my question is: Would hoodia gordonii be worth investigating until my body adapts to my new lifestyle? I have done my research and am eating the proper amount of calories for my lifestyle.

Answer: Megan: Congrats on the lifestyle change! Sounds like you have a solid fitness plan going right now. Keep it up. You are correct when you say your body is probably adapting to the new lifestyle changes you've made. The changes you have made to your exercise and diet regime have boosted your metabolism. That's why you're hungry like crazy. I'm surprised, though, that you're as hungry as you are given all the water you drink. Normally, hunger can be a sign of thirst but in your case that's probably not the cause. I will comment on hoodia in a second but a couple things I would do is increase my protein intake. I would aim to include more protein in each of your meals. Protein is fuel for your muscles and is needed in greater quantities when you are working out on a regular basis. In addition, protein is a great appetite suppressant itself. You'd be surprised how far a protein shake will go in terms of curbing appetite. As for hoodia, it does have the potential to be an effective appetite suppressant but it doesn't work for everyone. It's can also be very expensive (figure anywhere between $40-$60/month). There are hundreds of hoodia supplements on the market, but as others have mentioned here, most of them are fake - meaning they contain very little (if any) hoodia gordonii. If you are considering hoodia, make sure you buy authentic hoodia gordonii. It's very easy to get scammed so you want to be informed. The two most important things to look for when buying hoodia is CITES certificates and independent lab test results. You'll find these documents on the websites of companies who sell hoodia diet pills. There are other things to look for as well and you can read about them here: http://hoodiaandweightloss.com/information-on-hoodia/buy-hoodia/ In case you are wondering, authentic hoodia gordonii has been proven to be very safe with virtually no side effects. If it works for you, it can be a very effective natural appetite suppressant. P.S. Hoodia doesn't always work immediately. It can take as long as two weeks before it works. It can also take as much as 3,000mg per day of authentic hoodia for it to work effectively. P.S.S. I would recommend you increase your protein intake first and if that doesn't work, then I would give hoodia serious consideration. You can even add hoodia to your protein shake if you want! Here is an article that outlines how to do that: http://hoodiaandweightloss.com/information-on-hoodia/homemade-hoodia-shake/ Hope this helps. Travis

Question: I am going on holiday to Austria, can I take my Hoodia Gordonii or are there restrictions? Hi, I am worried about certain countries not allowing certain pills into the country. I am going for a weeks holiday and am on Hoodia Gordonii pills. Will I be ok taking them through the airport?? Thanks xxx

Answer: No pills unless prescribed. Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals. Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day. U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

Question: Will Hoodia work different than Hoodia Gordonii Plus? Ive researched a lot of diet pills and found Hoodia Gordonii to be the highest rated, and healthiest. But if I bought Hoodia would it work? Because a website I went on said the product had to have like a certification so you know that it has real Hoodia in it. So my question is if anyone has used this product, and if it works. Thank you.

Answer: i work at a gnc store and hoodia works as an appitite supressent. it takes about 3-5 days to get acclimated to your body . you take 1 before breakfast and 1 before lunch . it basically tricks your barin in thinking your full when your not. its the safest diet pill out right now.

Question: Would an extract of hoodia gordonii work just as good as the pure form? I bought hoodia 1500ex by sci fit and the hoodia gordonii is an extract and not in the pure form, does it work just as good?

Answer: It did not for me, but you have already bought it so try it and see how it works for you. Read about extracts vs. pure at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/pure_hoodia_extract.html You will have the best chance of hoodia suppressing your appetite if you get a strong pure hoodia that is certified to be genuine. Check out Totalink's unbiased Hoodia comparison at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html in the "Confidence" column it will indicate if the brand is "Certified". These Hoodia brands have the credentials to back up their product. Also in that column it will indicate if the brand is "Returnable". These Hoodia brands allow you to return opened bottles and get your money back. I think this indicates that a company has confidence in their product that it works. There are many factors involved in finding the best Hoodia, I have written articles on a lot of them. Just search Yahoo or Google under my name “Andrew Aitaken” to find them. Remember, you should always consult your physician before taking any diet pill or weight loss supplement.

Question: where can a get a few months worth of Hoodia-Gordonii-Plus, that wont burn a whole in my pocket? I want to buy this diet pill but i dont want to spend too much. Where can i get Hoodia-Gordonii-Plus thats cheap. And worth my money?

Answer: Amanda: The cheapest you'll find Hoodia Gordonii Plus is on their own website. You might be able to find some good deals on eBay as well. However, I wouldn't recommend this brand because there is a very good chance the product is fake. Let me share with you what I've learned during my research and you can determine yourself if you agree with me or not. If you take a close look at the ingredients, you will notice that there is only 400mg of hoodia gordonii plus per 2 capsules. Furthermore, the type of hoodia that is used is an extract noted by the 10:1 ratio on the label. Not only are these extracts the least effective types of hoodia, but some within the hoodia industry say they aren't even possible to make. In other words, hoodia extracts themselves are fake because you can't make them! I won't go into all the different types of hoodia, but if you're interested you should read this article: http://hoodiaandweightloss.com/information-on-hoodia/hoodia-tincture/ The Hoodia Gordonii Plus website claims that only 500mg per day is necessary for appetite suppression. According to my research, the necessary hoodia dosage can take as much as 2,250 - 3,000mg per day! In fact, one doctor I spoke with says that his weight loss patients are seeing good results with hoodia but they are using a product that contains 100% authentic hoodia gordonii powder (not a diluted product that uses an extract such as Hoodia Gordonii Plus) and they are taking between 2,250 to 3,000mg per day. You can read more about this doctor and the brand he uses here: http://hoodiaandweightloss.com/hoodia-news/desert-burn-hoodia/ The other thing I don't like about this product is that it contains other ingredients that may or may not be beneficial when it comes to appetite suppression and weight loss. This practice is very common when it comes to these cheaper variety hoodia supplements. They use an inferior extract and then water it down some more with other ingredients. That's why they can sell it at such a low price. As for the authenticity of the brand, they provide two documents on their website that supposedly "proves" they use authentic hoodia gordonii. The interesting thing is when you click to view them they are both cut off so you can only view part of each document. The only way to view the whole document is if you save it to your hard drive. I did just that and the picture isn't any better. The documents are nearly impossible to read and there are sections that are blacked out. Reputable companies that are using authentic hoodia gordonii in their diet pills will clearly display the documents on their websites and none of the sections will be blacked out. To me, this is a red flag. You can purchase one bottle of Hoodia Gordonii Plus for $39.95 and as little as $34.98 per bottle if you buy a 3 bottle package. That's about as cheap as it gets - but then again this product probably isn't real. The reality is, authentic hoodia is expensive. The cheapest authentic hoodia I've been able to find so far is $40 per bottle. Otherwise, most authentic brands of hoodia are going to cost you around $45-$60/bottle (which is a one month supply). Hope this info helps. Travis

Question: What is better, Hoodia Gordonii plus or hoodia-maxplus? I want to use a good diet pill that will show good resluts and not harm me and so far Hoodia gordonii plus is the best but i just came across hoodia-maxplus which is gordonii as well i have no idea what one is worth my money. Someone please help asap thank you.

Answer: Amanda: Please see the detailed answer I provided for you in your previous question - link to it is here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArOCWA_mBZ6EYVVC5b0C1vMjzKIX?qid=20070709135915AAZ29ys After reading my answer, you'll see why I agree with HoodiaMan's answer - that neither of these brands are worth considering as they both are very likely fake. And even if they aren't, there isn't much hoodia in them to make a difference. If you want the safest and most effective hoodia supplements, stick with those brands that have been proven to contain 100% authentic hoodia gordonii without any other ingredients. There are only three brands I recommend right now and they are Desert Burn, Hoodoba, and Hoodia Hoodia. All three of these brands are virtually identical because they all contain only one ingredient - authentic hoodia gordonii. The only difference between the three brands is the amount of hoodia per capsule and slight price differences. There may be other brands, but so far these are the only three that I've been shown are authentic. If you'd like to read more about these brands, you can read detailed reviews of each here: http://hoodiaandweightloss.com/category/best-rated-hoodia/ Best of luck to you. Travis

Question: Hoodia Gordonii Plus did not work for me !!! Any recommendations on other Hoodia Product Brands ? I ordered Hoodia Gordonii Plus after reading rave reviews about it. It doesn't work. I am sending back for a rhe bottle says 400 mg per serving. A serving is 2 capsules so it seems to only be 200mg per pill. Also, it makes me feel a little jittery after I take it. Could that be from the Green Tea Leaf Extract ?

Answer: Maybe this website will help http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:ZE_Z_dJZRBwJ:hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html+http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

Question: Can someone in South Africa send me a Hoodia gordonii plant? Or seeds if it's possible to grow them? I don't trust the pills for sale in the USA, but I'd like to use it as an appetite suppressant.

Answer: Type kohres kakteen on the Internet and you will be taken to a site that sells cactus and succulent seeds. Last year I bought several hoodia and they germinated. As you may have noticed this site is in Germany but hoodias are also popular as a pretty succulent not only for their dietary miracles. Also try Uhlig kakteen another site from Germany and if you are still are not satisfied go to: the cactus and succulent plant mall on the Internet which is the hub for all cactus and succulents. Also try Mesa garden in the US.

Question: What are your thoughts on Hoodia Gordonii? I have over 80lbs to lose, do these pills work or are they just a load of hype? I'm thinking of buting the ones from holland and barrett.

Answer: Pills usually will help some if the person taking them is eating right and exercising. If not, then they won't work. My friend took shots that are supposed to be for some type of disorder and she lost wait really quick. Maybe you could look into that?

Question: What are the ingredients in Authentic Hoodia Gordonii? You know those pills for weight loss, what kind of ingredients are in them or is it just chemicals and stuff.

Answer: Actually, Hoodia Gordonii IS the ingredient. It's the name of the tree that grows in Africa that naturally has appetite suppressing properties and has been used by the natives for centuries to help them suppress their appetites, whether it be during a long hunting trip when they run low on food or whatever the case may be. ;-) It is perfectly natural and has more recently come into the world-wide market as a diet aid, but since then, it has also become a fad product because it works so well for so many people. Because of that, you have to make sure that wherever you buy it from is legit... just make sure the company has a good rating with either the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) or USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia), as those are the main quality assurance organizations (USP is for the U.S., GMP is for the U.S. and worldwide). Good luck and I hope I helped!
