To choose the top weight loss supplement you need to know how they work and what ingredients are included in the supplements you are considering.   The most popular weight loss supplements are listed below.

Hoodia

Also known as Hoodia Gardonii, this is an ingredient that is included in several brands of weight loss supplements.  This diet supplement became popular after being features on the popular television show, 60 Minutes.

With anecdotal claims of reducing hunger and thirst consumers bought into the hoodia claims and sales of the diet pills soared.   With multiple manufacturers competing for market share perhaps it is not surprising that tests of revealed the level and purity of hoodia contained in some of the products being sold was not as promised and in some cases did not exist at all.

The truth is that hoodia provided by reputable companies has been recognized as effective for appetite control.  The question is not whether the ingredient works as promised but whether the supplement you buy contains the pure ingredient.

The skyrocketing demand for this succulent plant was more than some supplying the raw material could provide.   Thus, some suppliers mixed roots of the plant which weakened the effectiveness.   Others included plants similar to Hoodia but without the benefits of curbing appetite.  Still other suppliers add filler products such as leaves and even sawdust.   Clearly, there are some deceptive practices and this is further complicated if the manufacturer fails to evaluate the purity of the hoodia they receive.

Hydroxycut

This supplement has the reputation of being one of the top weight loss supplements available but it also can also cause adverse effects in users.   The original formula for Hydroxycut contained ephedra which was an ingredient in many fat burning supplements in the past before being banned by the FDA.

This diet supplement was originally marketed to young males but has now released several different formulations including one marketed only to women.  According to the manufacturer, the product does not depend on any specific ingredient for its effectiveness but on the blend of ingredients.   Reading the list of “blends” I found I have no idea what they are as these are not ingredients I’m familiar with.

The recommended dosage of three pills taken with water twice a day will perhaps increase alertness as caffeine is an ingredient in this supplement.

SlimQuick

Designed specifically for women, SlimQuick markets its product as and advanced fat burner that claims to overcome hormonal and physical barriers specific to women trying to lose weight.

The ingredients are groups into a list of “complexes” with a complex of vitamin/mineral ingredients, another labeled as a hormone balancing complex.  What is clear is the inclusion of 200 mg of caffeine substances in each capsule.  The initial recommend dosage is one capsule before breakfast and one more dose six hours later.   It is recommended that dosage be increased in the second week to two capsules twice a day.   At that level, SlimQuick delivers 800 mg of caffeine which could be a problem for any user not accustomed to such stimulants or to someone who drinks caffeine containing drinks during the day.

SlimQuick is not one diet supplement but offers a variety of formulas from the standard to a night formula and offers another version with SlimQuick Extreme.  Unlike the next top weight product reviewed, every SlimQuick product page has a significant list of personal and medical conditions that could lead to serious side effects when using the product.

Liporidex

This extremely popular weight loss supplement was developed by doctors and medical researchers which I found reassuring.   The ingredients are clearly listed along with explanations of the purpose of each ingredient.   Liporidex is an all-natural diet supplement that contains no caffeine or chemical stimulants.

Perhaps for that reason, there are no warnings listed for this dietary supplement.   There is no long list of consumers who should avoid taking the product.   To the contrary, the safety of Liporidex and purity of ingredients is stressed as much as the benefits and fat burning properties of the diet pill.

Offered by only one manufacturer provides quality control of ingredients missing in hoodia or acai products where fly-by-night companies often do not provide the ingredients listed on the label.

Users of Liporidex have reported excellent weight loss while using the supplement.   The ability of the supplement to target abdominal fat (the hardest fat to lose for many of us) is mentioned by users often as is an increase in metabolism and thus energy levels without the nervous feeling caused by caffeine or chemical stimulants of other diet pills.

Unlike the sales pages for some other top weight loss supplements, Liporidex has an excellent refund policy that offers a personal consultation for customers who have special diet needs.   The manufacturer encourages users to ask questions and provides contact information for that purpose.

Acai Berry

Diet supplements containing Acai often refer to the Acai berry as a “superfood”.   Of course it is – all berries are.   The nutritional value of berries is not in question.   What is questionable is whether there are any fat burning or hunger pang reduction properties in the various forms of Acai marketed.   Capsules, juice, pills, powder – all are promoted as diet aids with no scientific basis for the claims of effectiveness.

Unfortunately, the popularity of Acai Berry products is not due to how well the products work but to good marketing that has created sales with unsubstantiated claims.  The products using Acai to promote diet aids have been investigated closely because of shady selling tactics.  Customer who fail to read the privacy policy on the sales site for an Acai product may find themselves added to multiple mailing lists for anything being sold as a diet or health aid.

Requesting a free sample is featured on many websites selling Acai as a top weight loss supplement and this is what has led to scam complaints.   When a customer gives their credit card information on the Acai site, it is only to pay for “shipping and handling” of their free sample of the product.   In truth, many sellers of various Acai Berry diet products then use that credit information to re-charge the account monthly for $80 or more for recurring shipments.  This is an unpleasant surprise for buyers and becomes even more frustrating when they find it almost impossible to contact the seller to cancel the recurring order.

In the end, for some products thought of as the top weight loss supplement, low quality ingredients, substandard manufacturing practices and underhanded marketing lead to consumers disappointed in a high cost product that provides no benefits and may carry health risks of side effects.

Hoodia Gordonii has received a lot of rave reviews in the media as the greatest weight loss formula ever discovered. Well know news shows like 60 minutes news the Today Show, Oprah Winfrey and the BBC have all sung the praises of Pure Hoodia Gordonii.  With all the excitement about this news discovery the real information about exactly how Hoodia Gordonii works has not really been clearly explained.

Hundreds of weight Loss manufacturers have been clamoring to get their hands on Hoodia Gordonii to add to their weight loss supplements but this is where the real decay begins. Hoodia is in very short supply because of the length of time it takes to reach maturity and is basically only grown in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. Although many weight loss manufacturers have not been able to acquire pure Hoodia Gordonii this has  not stopped some diet pill makers from making false claims about their products containing 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii  in the ingredients to push up the sale. In reality these products either contain no Hoodia at all, or in some cases just have just a trace amount that will not be of any benefit to you at all.  

Up to now the weight Loss industry has not been regulated well enough and thousands of unsuspecting people wishing to lose weight have bought fake useless products that are supposed to contain Pure Hoodia Gordonii.  As long as there is no harm done to the user of the supplements these suppliers and manufacturers get away with it.

You can purchase real authentic certified pure Hoodia Gordonii from suppliers but there will be a certificate probing this authentication.  Unfortunately these companies are very few and far between. Stella labs is now working through Hoodia Suppliers and shutting them down or exposing them as fakes to protect the unsuspecting consumer.

 

How does Hoodia work for weight loss if it is not a Diet supplement?

 

Before you buy Pure Hoodia Gordonii you must understand that it can be the magic diet pill or maybe not if you have no idea how it benefits you to lose weight. Hoodia Gordonii does not actually make you lose weight at all. It does not work like the other weight loss supplements you buy that speed up metabolism, bind to fat, or burn calories.  What pure Hoodia Gordonii really does is suppress your desire to eat at all because the way it works is fooling the brain into thinking your stomach is full. It suppresses hunger and thirst so efficiently that you need to make sure you have a set plan of nutrition otherwise your weight loss can result in s starvation diet that can be detrimental y to your health.

 

You should take this superior weight loss appetite suppressant with a set eating plan because your body needs to have fuel to stay healthy. Work out a set nutrition plan and stick to it. Hoodia Gordonii will teach you new eating habits over the long term so the weight you do lose will not come back again. Hoodia Gordonii will curb your desire to eat and the pounds will certainly melt off but without proper nutrition you can become ill and weak.  Hoodia Gordonii will teach you how to lose weight gradually and when you are losing weight and following a proper nutrition plan you will achieve the weight loss you really desire.

R. Silverman asked:

Have you purchased Pure Hoodia Gordonii Diet Pills?

Hoodia Gordonii Diet pills have the ability to do wonders for the obese to slightly overweight. Stories featured on ABC News, 60 Minutes, CNN and the BBC have all reported on Hoodia. Hoodia gordonii is not a drug or an herb, but a plant. When consumed, this plant is a completely natural and safe alternative for weight loss, giving appetite suppression and fewer calorie consumption without causing anxiety. Due to its positive results and growing popularity, suppliers are going to drastic measures to find and procure their own source of Hoodia. It is this reason that makes it necessary for the consumer to be knowledgeable about the product they are intending to purchase.

There is an incredible surge in interest for Hoodia in the diet supplements market. Every Hoodia supplier on the internet is promising safe, and side effect free appetite suppression. But are these promises true? Only sometimes. The market has been flooded with Hoodia gordonii diet pills that are less effective than original, pure Hoodia. The reason this occurs is due to the scarcity of the naturally occurring Hoodia gordonii plant.

South African suppliers were not prepared for the demand on Hoodia by the western market, and companies took advantage of this. Although claiming their product contains 100% Hoodia, they started putting in filler products like silica, leaves, sawdust, etc. to both bring down the cost of production and decrease the effectiveness of the product. This has left many Hoodia consumers with a bad taste in their mouth, having spent a fair amount of money on a non-genuine, non-effective Hoodia product. While it requires some time to find original, pure Hoodia gordonii, it is worth the effort to be sure that when you do purchase Hoodia diet pills, they are of the utmost best quality.

How can I find Pure Hoodia Gordonii?

Pharmaceutical firms such as Pfizer and Phytopharm have attempted to make and patent a synthesized version of the P57 molecule found in the Hoodia Gordonii plant, which is responsible for appetite suppression. From all the research done to date, it is not economically feasible. This means that as of now, pure Hoodia gordonii is the only place you can find the naturally occurring P57 molecule, natures most potent appetite suppressor.

To ensure that you are not wasting time and money on fake Hoodia diet pills, do check that the company can provide to you the following items to guarantee its purity:

1.The company has a Certificate of Analysis. This shows that the substance has been analyzed and is in fact pure Hoodia Gordonii.

2.The company has ongoing, anonymous testing by a chemical lab that can provide a Certificate of Analysis. Some companies get tested once at a known time, ensuring that the lab receives real Hoodia for the test. After testing, they switch to an inferior product to sell to consumers. Only a company with nothing to hide would allow their product to be ordered anonymously and continually tested.

3.The company has a CITES certificate- Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of the Worlds Fauna and Wildlife - ensuring legal export of the product from South Africa. There is a place on the certificate saying “valid until (date)”- make sure it is still valid.

Don’t forget to check these approvals on the website, to ensure you are buying real Hoodia gordonii. While there are various species of Hoodia, it is only the Hoodia gordonii that comes from South Africa that has been shown to contain the appetite suppressing P57 molecule.

Research a little more for Pure Hoodia

Once you find a Hoodia supplier, get in contact with them and ask questions. If the website doesn’t display any contact details, it’s better to stay clear, for this is not a sign of a legitimate organization.

When you get in contact with the company staff and get your questions answered, go the extra mile and find some customer testimonials and reviews about the company. This will help you collect more information about the supplier and gage if they are safe to buy from.

If the site you are visiting gives proof of authenticity and discloses its full ingredients list, you can be more confident in your purchase that your money will not be wasted. However, be skeptical of any “other ingredients” claims on the label, as this is a commonly used loophole to add fillers into the product and still claim it as pure Hoodia.

While clinical studies have shown that there are no side effects or medical interactions from taking Hoodia gordonii, it is recommended to consult a doctor before you begin using Hoodia as part of a healthy diet.
