Hoodia Gordonii is a weight loss supplement that promises to eliminate your desire to eat. This claim was backed up by a 60 minuets reporter who did a story about Hoodia and made the statement that after trying the diet pill his appetite was gone.

With millions of overweight people jumping from one diet fad to the next the thought of taking a pill to curb cravings might sound like a dream come true, but is there any truth to this Hoodia hype?

While pure Hoodia has been proven to stop you from wanting to eat there are literally hundreds of products claiming to contain this latest magic bullet in the battle against obesity. This might not mean much until you realize just how scarce Hoodia is. Consider that Hoodia Gordonii is only grown in certain parts of the desert, and after the recent media exposure there is no way for the supply to meet the demand.

What does this say for all those diet pills claiming to contain Hoodia? Well in means most of them are lying! In fact pure Hoodia is very expensive and hard to get so when you see the newest latest and greatest weight loss pill claiming to contain Hoodia odds are that there are only trace amounts that will have little or no effect.

What can you do to make sure your getting the highest quality Hoodia in your weight loss supplements?

Look at the list of ingredients and make sure Hoodia is the only one listed, and that there is at least 400mg.

If it's $8.00 for a 2 month supply it's not real Hoodia. Any diet pill made from 100% pure Hoodia is going to cost about $30-$45 for a month's supply.

Go to the companies website and see where they're getting there Hoodia from, look at any research they've conducted, and see if they have any certificates to back up their claims.
