Hoodoba® PURE hoodia (750MG 60 veg-caps)

I should have known better. I am a physician, and we usually don't recommend anything without scientific data showing both efficacy and safety. But I am also open minded and I need to lose some weight so on top of diet an exercise I decided to try this, knowing the possible risks of not knowing the side effects (no one has ever systematically studied this product, I looked up medline which is the main scientific database and there is no single article about efficacy or side effects). By the way, the fact that is "natural" doesn't mean no side effect. Think of poisonous mushrooms, they are also "natural". I am not saying that this product is poisonous, and I personally didn't have any evident side effect. But the product just simply didn't curb my appetite whatsoever, not even a bit. I am convinced that all the terrific reviews that you read in amazon and other blogs are just part of a big promotion campaign, it would be very rare that this product would be unbelievably useful to some people, and have no therapeutic effect at all on me.

I am hypoglycemic, so I get what my doctor calls "intense hunger" I tried this product because my appetite is my biggest obstacle when trying to loose weight.I think it needs to be noted that this product is not supposed to be a stimulant; there is no caffeine. Nor does it claim to boost your metabolism - it simply focuses on curbing appetite. I am taking these in addition to doing weight watchers and so far they have been extremely helpful. The product comes with a full page of instructions. It states each person is different so some people may need more than others to get an effect.For me I need to take 2 tablets 3 times a day (6 total).That works out to be $[...] a day - so it is not cheap - but that is just me. It also took 3 days until I noticed a change in my appetite.My last comment is on the effects. This did not turn my appetite off completely - but what does and would that be safe?This product really curbed my appetite A LOT. I still can't beleive that something could work on me. This product made it easier to stick to normal portions and the WW system. I am going to try the elixir next to see if that is any different

After researching for months, these pills came up as the most reliable and effective. I decided to give it a try and finished the whole bottle. But even when I took the pills exactly as directed (and with plenty of water), I am sad to say they had absolutely no impact on my hunger. I know everyone's body is different, but I just get a bit suspicious with some of the reviews on here because according to these testimonials, it either works like a miracle or does nothing at all...Plus, at the price, it's about $50 every 10 days, which I guess I couldn't afford in the long term anyway.Either way, I gave it 2 stars because even though the pills did nothing for me, the company itself is extremely professional.

I was taken one pill before meals and felt no changes, so I tried to take two pills before meals and... felt no changes... I'm not even sure if it is hoodia gordonii or what. It is supposed to be an appetite suppressant but this product does not work at all. It is completely innocuous (in all the sense of the word). I think it's [...]. Sorry.

There is no golden wand you can waive that will make you lose weight. However, Hoodoba PURE hoodia does take your appetite away. And it makes it easier to eat less. I started out with the recommended dosage of 2 tablets 45-60 minutes before a meal. I have reduced that to one tablet because I couldn't tell much difference in how the pill suppressed my appetite. I still have to plan to eat good, natural food and eat less of it. I try to eat the way I normally do for breakfast and lunch and then eat much less for dinner. Dinnertime is my downfall so I chose to eat less then. So far I've lost about 3 lbs. in a week. I'm not unhappy with the weight loss and hope that I can sustain a 2 - 3 lb. weight loss/per week until I reach my goal weight.The product works to suppress your appetite. However, you have to be willing to eat less, eat fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meats and poultry (anotherwords, healthy foods) and get in exercise about 3-4 times a week. What I like about the product is that it helps me eat less at night so that I can actually train my body to feel fuller and satisifed on less food.

I received this product in the mail. The label on the bottle was bunched up and not flat against the bottle. The label also looks different than the picture (it's yellow not the pink seen here). This sloppy packaging made me question the contents. I was skeptical, took one pill, decided that it just seemed to sketchy, and contacted the seller about returning the product. I was told that I could not return it. So i'm stuck with it. Don't recommend the product or seller.

This is a great product if youstay faithfull to it, I had lost 40 lbs in 3 months. The only side affects is not taking them.The seller is quick to help in any way if you have any issues with the product.

I question the effectiveness of this product. Did nothing for me after using it for 3 weeks. I give up. Don't waste your money. I also had to stop taking it because it broke out the skin on my face and I am known for nice skin as a model! Listen to others and do your homework. If this hoodia stuff really DOES work, how come more people don't take it, or know about it? Think about it, this stuff would be plastered all over the U.S. especially since we're the "fattest" country! Save your money!
