Oprah Reviews Hoodia in O Magazine

In the July issue of Oprah's O magazine she reviewed our Hoodia and the Diet that follows. You may also read the 60 minutes review of our Hoodia, the BBC Hoodia Gordonii review, and our very own Buyers Checklist follows to help you find and buy real hoodia.

1) make sure any product you buy is 100% natural, 100% stimulant-free, 100% ephedra-free and 100% caffeine-free. At this point enough is not known about the effects of mixing the incredibly strong Hoodia with any of these other diet products. Besides it has been our experience that you won't need any of these others to lose lots of weight.

2) Dosage - I weigh 139 pounds (down from 165) and 1500 mg was plenty for me. It took my appetite away and didn't make me queasy like Ephedra does. After a while I reduced the dosage down and tried the 750 mg and 400 mg single pill sizes. They worked perfectly. If you are in my weight range, I recommend buying the smaller 400 - 750 dosage pills (NOT weaker mixes of Hoodia). If you weigh more than I do, the 800 to 1500 mg size tablets may be perfect. If one before each meal time is not enough, then take two. Hoodia is not harmful and it's important to TEST the dosages. PAY attention for the first few days to ensure you are getting the right dosage for YOU.

Many companies will tell you not to go with a product LESS than 400mg in size. I understand why, because they don't want you to be disappointed and quit. If you get too little of the source material responsible for the appetite suppressing quality of Hoodia your appetite won't be suppressed. Everyone is different here. Just be advised that you CAN and will want to vary your dosage based on your particular needs and existing weight.

3) Buy from a supplier that gives you verifiable independent lab analysis with a Certificate of Analysis showing on the site. Why would you buy a from a company that cannot find a reputable scientific lab to vouch for their Hoodia product. That would be a waste of time, money and could be dangerous. My experience has been when you buy "knock off" products it always ends in disappointment. At my age disappointment is one of the things I hate the most.

4) Too good to be true - If the company is offering more than 90 capsules or large oversize capsules (more than 400mg) for less than $25 - BEWARE. Real Hoodia is not cheap to obtain or process correctly. But dollar for dollar, Hoodia gets you the greatest diet help and results for the least money. This is one of the things the Oprah O magazine author pointed out as well.

5) Imitations and Dilution's - do not buy 20:1 extracts as they are extremely difficult to analyze and determine if they really contain real Hoodia in the amount that will actually work. Do not buy dilution's, special mixtures, etc. as they may contain no Hoodia Gordonii at all. Purchase product containing 100% Hoodia Gordonii Powder and no other herbs. Do not buy extracts.

6) Ingredients - ONLY the core from the aerial stems of the plant have been identified as having the active ingredient necessary to eliminate hunger. Products containing ANY kind of filler, pulp, skins, flowers, roots or other parts of the Hoodia Gordonii variety of plant are inferior and are diluted and will probably not work. Products claiming to use 100% of the Hoodia Gordonii plant are either misinformed or giving you useless bulk. There is no benefit in the outer skin which makes up a
good percentage of the weight of the plant.

7) Origin - Insist on original South African source material. Do not accept cheap substitutes from China, Mexico or other countries. ONLY use hoodia from approved South African sources operating as government-approved cultivators. Recent directives from South Africa warn that the supply of hoodia has been outstripped by the demand. The response from the South African government has been to limit export permits to control and conserve hoodia resources.

8) False Claims - Stay away from a company that tells you it can suppress your appetite with one capsule only. You will need at least a days worth of dosage to begin the effects. Companies like this typically sell fake product or product containing so little of the hoodia as to be worthless. Take it from somebody that has been there, bought the stuff, and used it successfully. O magazine by Oprah shows this as well.

This website has 69+ pages of information on authentic Hoodia and how it will make you lose weight. If your tired of reading and just want to order some visit these hoodia companies. They have the best deals and are the only ones that sell authentic tested hoodia with a CITES permit. I started taking Hoodia on Tuesday night and didn't eat again until Friday night at a late party. I wasn't really hungry then but I didn't want to be rude at my wife's party, so I snacked. I have been taking the Hoodia Gordonii for 3 months now and the results are incredible. I only eat when I want to now, and at special events, because I really have no appetite to speak of. The plant is so strong it even takes away your thirst, so make sure and drink lots of water! It feels cool not being controlled by stomach pains after having had a bad habit and my own poor discipline for so long.

Hoodia Diet Buyers Guide - follow these guidelines to make sure you get the REAL product and get the right dosage. Otherwise you will NOT get the results I have had with the hoodia diet. This is the most important thing addressed by the Oprah O magazine story on Hoodia.
