In the July issue of O Magazine, Oprah Winfrey reviewed the supplement Hoodia and how it relates to the issue of weight loss. As more and more people are starting to hear about the beneficial effects of including this supplement in their diet, she felt it was time to bring it to attention and raise some important points.

Here are the main points that you need to know.

It Needs To Be 100% Natural

There are many companies who claim that their supplement is going to offer you all these great effects, however in all actually it is not natural hoodia you are getting. Natural hoodia is what is going to produce the best results so it is essential this is what you get. It should be 100% natural and 100% stimulant (ephedra and caffeine) free. It should also be noted that there is no known research about what happens if you mix hoodia with other weight loss aids so it is best to take it alone for safety precautions.

Ensure Proper Dosage

When Oprah took the supplement, she was taking 1500 mg and found this to be plenty enough. Her appetite disappeared and it did not make her feel queasy the way ephedra did. After a short period of time she further reduced the dosage down to only 750 mg and found that this worked just as well also. She does recommend however that rather than simply buying a weaker concentration of hoodia, you just buy a pill that has a lower total dose. She also advises those who weigh more than she did at the time of using the supplement (155) to take two capsules to see effects.

Buy From A Respectable Supplier

When purchasing your product, ensure that the company you are buying from includes a certificate of analysis that shows it has been through scientific lab research. This will help prevent you from buying a product that does not work and only leads to a major disappointment.

Watch Out For Scams

Always be on the lookout for companies that offer extremely exceptional products as often they are too good to be true. An example of this may be extra large capsules - more than 400 mg for instance, that are less than $30. If you are getting good quality hoodia you can expect it to be slightly more expensive. It will be well worth spending the money on the right product however as you will get far better results.

Find Out Where It's From

It is best to purchase hoodia that has come from South Africa. This is where it was first found and if you are buying a product that comes from another place in the world, it's very likely that it's a substitute.

Watch Out For False Claims

Another thing to beware of is false claims. If the product states it's going to suppress all hunger with only one single capsule dosage, it is likely making a false claim. For most people it will take a day or two at minimum to see results. There are a few who do react immediately but this is not the norm.

Check The Ingredients

Only the core of the plan is what is going to have an effect on hunger so if the product you are buying is filled with all other types of substances, the flowers, roots or skin of the plant for example, you will be spending a lot of money for something that isn't going to deliver results.

Probably the most important thing that was stressed in the article was how important it is to ensure that you are buying 100% pure hoodia. If you aren't, you simply are not going to see the results you are expecting from the product. Many supplement companies can be quite talented at hiding behind false claims so make sure you do enough research into the product you plan to buy beforehand.

 

To effectively lose weight, you must find a way to reduce your appetite. One product that does this is Hoodia Gordonii Plus, which can suppress your appetite, boost your metabolism, burn fat, as well as give you most energy. I personally tried Hoodia Gordonii a few years ago, and it helped me lose 15 lbs a month, and go down from 210 to under 150 lbs in a year.
