"I've heard a lot about hoodia and I just don't believe it can work as well as is claimed. Is hoodia just a big scam? Are there individual products that are scams – that I should look out for?"
If you think hoodia might be a big scam, then you're not alone. A lot of people are leery of all the great claims they've heard about this little cactus – that it's the miracle cure for obesity, that it has no side effects.
Hoodia itself is not a scam. Hoodia works to suppress the appetite and can help anyone lose weight – by making them want to eat less. Hoodia has been working for thousands of years for the San bushmen.
Some hoodia products are scams. Nutritional supplements are not covered by the same FDA regulations that apply to drugs and pharmaceuticals, and therefore many supplement manufacturers are less than honest on their labels. Real hoodia gordonii is expensive, and, for a while, wasn't easy to come by (hoodia grows slowly) so some unethical manufacturers scammed their customers by using sawdust and other substances to fill their capsules.
Stick with a high-quality hoodia supplement and you don't have to worry about a scam. Real hoodia really does work, has worked for thousands, and will likely work for you.
