Uncover Hoodia Weight Loss Testimonials
It seems like everytime you turn your head you are hearing about more hoodia weight loss testimonials.
These testimonials are even coming from major news sources (both TV and print) that have reported on the amazing hoodia plant.
For example, BBC Correspondent Tom Mangold remarked: "But more significantly, we did not even think about food. Our brains really were telling us we were full. It was a magnificent deception."
Or this one from Leslie Stahl for CBS 60 Minutes: "I'd have to say [Hoodia Gordonii] did work." after she went to South Africa to try some hoodia herself firsthand.
After the media onslaught more and more people are becoming aware of the seemingly magical appetite suppressing qualities of this amazing plant.
Hoodia products are now appearing all over the Internet and as time passes hoodia weight loss testimonials continue to mount.
To be sure, many of these testimonials are an encouraging testament to the power of hoodia gordonii and the success people are having with it for achieving their weight loss goals.
On the other hand, it's important to also be somewhat skeptical of hoodia weight loss testimonials as it's pretty easy to fabricate a testimonial, wouldn't you agree?
So what you should focus on is the quality of any hoodia product you would consider purchasing.
In my opinion, the top indicator to look for is something called the hoodia CITES certificate displayed on the website of the hoodia vendor.
You see, hoodia gordonii is an extremely rare plant that is tough to grow and takes a long time to mature.
In addition, South Africa is the only place in the world where it grows natively.
Because the demand for hoodia products are much higher than the supply of real hoodia gordonii, a lot of products on the market don't even contain the real stuff -- in short, they are fraudulent.
One of the best ways we know of to make sure you are getting real South African hoodia gordonii is to look for the hoodia CITES certificate since this is needed to export hoodia gordonii legally out of South Africa.
In the end, hoodia weight loss testimonials are inspiring to read, especially by people who want to shed weight and fat themselves, but the most important thing to do is to carefully select a quality product if you want results.

What You Should Know Before You Buy Hoodia Weight Loss Pills
While many people lose weight with hoodia gordonii dietary supplements, they do not work for everyone. The question is what exactly caused the lack of results for those people. Hoodia weight loss pills should work as an appetite suppressant, if they contain genuine hoodia gordonii. Research by Phytopharm (the company which owns the patent for the active molecule in hoodia gordonii) and at Brown University supports the effectiveness of hoodia gordonii as an appetite suppressant. So, how does the consumer know if the product they are about to purchase contains genuine hoodia gordonii?
Many governments in South Africa (country of origin for hoodia gordonii) have placed strict limitations on the exportation of hoodia gordonii. Manufacturers of hoodia weight loss pills must be licensed by these South African governments, if their products contain genuine hoodia gordonii. Those manufactures who are licensed will display a CITES certification on their websites or product package. Those consumers who are hoping to lose weight with hoodia should look for this certification, but beware, there are companies which say that they have a CITES certificate, but will only make it available for inspection upon purchase. One such company is being investigated for selling counterfeit hoodia weight loss pills.
Hoodia gordonii is expensive and quantities are limited. The hoodia weight loss pills sold “off the shelf” in discount pharmacies probably contain little or no hoodia gordonii. Reputable manufactures may offer discounts and free shipping on multiple bottles, but if the price is too low, then the consumer should beware. Genuine herbs of all kinds are relatively expensive. Anyone who purchases herbs for other health benefits and wants to lose weight with hoodia has an advantage over those who are unfamiliar with herbs. They know that a quality product does not come cheaply.
There are stories on the web written by people who have been unable to get a refund on hoodia weight loss pills. These stories are written by people who say that they were not able to lose weight with hoodia. This situation is easily avoidable. Reputable companies display return information on their websites. It may seem like a lot of trouble to read this information about return authorizations and other limitations, but it is worthwhile. Only a few companies will accept returns of opened bottles if a customer is unable to lose weight with hoodia. Hoodia XR is one that does.
Reputable companies will not make claims about their products that are “too good to be true”. Anyone who wants to lose weight with hoodia must reduce their daily caloric intake and increase their activity. Hoodia weight loss pills are appetite suppressants. They may help dieters stick to their plans and achieve their goals, but they will not work in any other way. Hoodia weight loss pills do not burn fat off while we sleep or “melt” the pounds away as some products are advertised to do. Some may ask, “If I have to eat less and exercise, then why should I take hoodia?” The answer to that question is, “If you can stick to a low calorie diet and exercise regularly without feeling deprived, hungry and exhausted, then you are probably not overweight.”
In conclusion, to those who are interested in trying to lose weight with hoodia weight loss pills, buy genuine hoodia gordonii from a reputable company that sells other health supplements or herbs and openly displays their return policy in writing.
