It's also about making sure that the weight loss product is approved and tested. When it comes to taking Hoodia Gordonii, you, therefore, have to make sure you're getting the real thing. Getting otherwise isn't just a waste of your money but could also be potentially dangerous.

Losing weight has emerged to be the primary concern among people these days. Engaging in various kinds of exercises, such as yoga and pilates, and even undergoing risky cosmetic surgeries, are just some of the things that people undergo just to arrive at the desired body and look they want. However, some may choose not to experience this rigorous and risky practice. That is why they have chosen to take slimming or weight loss pills, like Hoodia Gordonii, instead.

P57 tricks the brain into believing that our glucose, (blood sugar), levels are high indicating that we must be full. The giant pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer worked together with a UK company, PhytoPharm, to try and produce an appetite suppressing compound from the active ingredients in Hoodia Gordonii. Research was stopped during 2002 due to difficulties in removing chemicals found in P57 that are harmful to our liver. For this reason the drug would not be approved by the US FDA.

Next we compare price. The first bottle of hoodia 750 costs $54.99 for 90 capsules; recommended dosage is three capsules per day. Subsequent bottles may be purchased for $44.99, if you are on their recurrent billing plan. Desert Burn 750mg capsule costs $59.95 for one bottle of 60 capsules; recommended dosage is one or two capsules in the morning and one or two capsules in the afternoon, if needed, not to exceed six capsules per day. The pricing of these two products is very similar, depending on how much the individual needs to take to suppress his or her appetite. There is no established recommended dosage for hoodia gordonii weight loss pills and some people seem to need higher dosages than others. Hoodia XR is a 1000mg tablet, each bottle contains 90 tablets and costs $49.95; recommended dosage is one time released capsule, three times per day or as needed to suppress appetite. Hoodia 750 and the other companies offer discounts on shipping and handling as well as price per bottle when multiple bottles are ordered.

The biggest loser in the Hoodia Gordonii weight loss proceedings has been the San people of the Kalahari. PhytoPharm sold the P57 patent to Pfizer in a multi million dollar deal but the San were totally excluded from any remuneration.

The first and most obvious way of knowing if your Hoodia is fake is to check if the product's seal has an authenticated Lot Number, which means that it has undergone the test in the Independent Lab Report done by the Alchemist Pharmaceuticals. Besides that, also check if the premium products report date is within six months after purchase.

Another way to verify is by checking if the product has the banner C.I.T.E.S or a certification proving that it truly came from South Africa. Such certificate also testifies that that Hoodia material has been processed from its growth in South Africa. The certificate should be clear and readable, otherwise, it will only prove a counterfeit.

Fake Hoodia products may also have additional information on additives, fillers and other agents, which are actually insignificant for authenticated products, which label 100% hoodia. Also, keep off products that claim that they have additional amounts of Hoodia more than the original. These may seem appealing but entirely dangerous because it may have more diluted fillers that can make a normal person sick. The fact is that normal people can only carry 80 mgs of hoodia material at a time.
