My Weight Loss Story And Hoodia

I lost 25 pounds because of Hoodia….but it took me a long time and a lot of money to find the right Hoodia (I was the victim of several fakes, shady operations and weak altered versions of hoodia until I found the right companies and products).

Hopefully you will benefit from my experiences.

Over the past 15 years I’ve tried dozens of weight loss programs. Actually, I’ve struggled with my weight since the 8th grade; believe me when I tell you that I am very ‘fat aware’! After CBS’ 60 Minutes did a report on Hoodia a little over a year ago, I immediately ordered this ‘magic’ pill. Honestly, I was willing to try anything new because everything old was not working for me.

Needless to say, when I finally lost 25 pounds after finding the ‘right’ Hoodia, I was overjoyed and committed to sharing what I found with as many overweight people as possible.

Initially, because of an error in the address that I submitted when ordering, I was left with a credit card charge and no Hoodia and I was at the mercy of a fly-by-night fulfillment operation that didn’t know the first thing about customer service. On another occasion, my order was lost (or so I was told) and I never heard from that company again (they’ve been put out of business by the FTC). Since then I’ve conducted extensive research regarding the many companies that sell Hoodia online.

Again, my hope is that you will learn from my mistakes.

With Hoodia, what you’ll notice right away is your ability to get full faster and stay full longer AND feel better mentally, too. Also, note that Hoodia gordonii is a natural cactus like plant that grows naturally in Africa and it is so safe that it is classified as a dietary supplement and not a medicine.

Worldwide fascination with Hoodia has bred strong curiosity but it is very important to know the difference between traditional Hoodia gordonii and the many cheap knock-offs and weak Hoodia products that have arrived on the scene.

During my research, I came across some very important information that everyone should know before purchasing Hoodia online.

Real Hoodia is RARE and EXPENSIVE.

It takes approximately 4 to 5 years for the Hoodia succulent to mature and provide appetite suppressant qualities. The African government has limited the amount of Hoodia it exports and the number of suppliers to receive it. Because of the growing awareness and popularity of this miracle herb, rip-off products that contain very little or no authentic Hoodia in them have flooded the marketplace. So…….

When you select your Hoodia product, choose one that has no Ephedra, no Ma Huang, and no Ephedrine. Also, do not settle for any hoodia that is less than 100% pure South African Hoodia from the Kalahari Desert (reputable suppliers will display their certificates on their web sites to prove it).

And look for Hoodia that is licensed by the Western Cape Conservation Authority of South Africa. There are two certified documents required to prove the authenticity of pure South African Hoodia; they are the C.I.T.E.S Certificate and the Analytical Report.

Finally, when deciding which products to recommend, I always ask 2 questions:

  1. Does the product have a successful track record? (has it worked for us AND are there consumer success stories?)
  2. Does it come with an iron clad MONEY BACK GUARANTEE and/or free samples?

I’m happy to say that each of the Hoodia products below passes our test.
