Q What is Hoodia Gordonii A Hoodia is an herb found in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa found by the San tribes to help curb hunger and thirst on long hunting trips of several days duration. Commercial cultivation started a few years ago and has exploded due to the high demand of the diet industry and most are approved by the South African government. All exports have to include a C.I.T.E.S. certificate (Convention on International Trade in Exported Species of wild fauna and floral.)
Q How does Hoodia Gordonii work? A There are over 13 types of hoodia. The only active ingredient identified so far is a steroidal glycoside that has been called "p57". Currently, only Hoodia Gordonii is thought to contain p57. Taking Hoodia when you are hungry can alleviate the feeling of hunger and so make it less likely to eat snacks. When taking Hoodia Gordonii before a meal ..even a small meal can leave you feeling more satisfied which helps you in eating smaller portions…and of course eating healthier foods will help you in attaining your vitamin levels per day.
Q What are the side effects? A There are no known side effects but some people have reported an elevation in their mood (which is a good thing) but your heart rate will not increase, you won’t get drowsy, and you will be able to sleep at night!
Q What are the difficulties in trying to choose where to buy Hoodia? A This is a very good question with endless answers…..Let’s start with what to look for:
Buy from someone you TRUST! All the flashy adds does not insure that the company is reputable…..It just might mean they have more money to try to impress and/or mislead you into believing that their product is better.
The certificates and analyses’ that are provided by some of these companies are forgeries! We’ve seen some certificates that are 3 to 4 years old! Chances are that shipment has been exhausted and are using a different lot to produce the current product.
Studies and reviews are not always neutral. Some companies will pay an individual to ‘review’ products on the guise that the person is ‘independent’ but then recommends the product that the product sponsor manufactures. (since they are paying the tab)
Some claim that Hoodia Gordonii is very expensive (and it is) and tell you not to buy from the expensive companies…. but they will try to sell you 120 capsules for $19.95! Does that infer that they dilute their products to make it affordable?
Free Samples..Now here’s a favorite. Lots of horror stories on this one! There is no such thing….Free samples are a way to get your information into their data base. If you do not read every word in their Refund policy you may be stepping into abyss that will be difficult or nearly impossible to get out of. One thing is for sure…it will cost you lots of money before you do get out….so don’t get sucked in! A guarantee is better than a ‘free’ sample, and if you don’t have to commit to an autoship or autobill…..your life will be simpler!
Bottom Line…..Buy without commitments…If you like the product and it works for you you will be back!
Q Are there any precautions to taking Hoodia Gordonii? A Here’s what we suggest:
Consult a doctor if you are under his medical supervision
Take 3 to 6 capsules to start…
You will get BEST results if you change your eating habits and exercise 15 to 20 minutes per day
Pregnant or lactating women should consult a doctor before use
Dis continue use and consult your doctor if adverse reactions occur
Keep out of reach of children
Do not use if seal is broken
Q How much Hoodia Gordoni should I take? A This depends on your size weight, and metabolism. People usually start with three to six a day and work their way down as they eat less. Two capsules a day is the normal dose but it also depends on how bad of an unhealthy eating habit you have to break and your lifestyle. You can take Hoodia at any time of the day because it doesn’t make you drowsy or keep you awake!
Q Does it come with a guarantee? A YES…ABSOLUTELY Read our Terms and Conditions for a simple explanation
Q How much weight can I expect to lose? A Hoodia Gordonii is not a ‘crash’ diet system…Weight loss is a healthy and gradual event…. Normal loss would be 1-3 pounds per week, and above normal loss would be 5 to 8 pounds per week (that would be 32 pounds a month!) Heavier people can lose their extra pounds more quickly (they have more fat to burn off!) The KEY is to make a diet and lifestyle change to get best and consistent results! Once you get on a daily healthy routine you will wonder why you didn’t do this sooner! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
