Hoodia Gordonii has garnered some positive press over the last few years. Not only have some major media services reported positive appetite suppressing qualities of the hoodia gordonii cactus, but anecdotal evidence suggested that hoodia pills work to help reduce the desire to eat and thus reduce weight. However with this success in the weight loss industry, many products have been released in a short period of time. Some of these products are good and some are not so good. This article will cover the dosage for hoodia gordonii powder and pills. It will discuss how to ensure that the product is genuine and the quantity that should be taken.

Hoodia Dosage

Before you consider the dosage, you should establish the quality of the hoodia product you will be taking. Firstly, there are many different varieties of Hoodia cactus but only the gordonii cactus is believed to have appetite suppressing qualities. So make sure the product you are buying is hoodia gordonni. Confirm that the manufacturer has a CI.TES certificate and tests have been done on the product. This means the company has gone through the official import and export channels and that the cactus they are using is genuine.

Confirm that the quantity of hoodia extract is labeled on the bottle or packaging that the pills or powder comes in.

Since the news stories on the hoodia cactus the number of products using this extract have mushroomed from 3 or 4 to 3 or 4 hundred. Many of these new products are not using genuine extract or are simply using the name but have no cactus extract in them at all. So make sure you do the listed checks before buying any powder or pills.

What Is The Ideal Dosage

Many Hoodia supplements recommend a dosage of around 400 mg or 750 mg. This is quite a variation so what is the ideal dosage ? It is thought that the ideal dosage is 500 mg of Hoodia Gordonii per day to see positive appetite-suppressing results.

Of course there are many variables that enter the weight loss equation. You body size, weight, health and metabolic rate will all come into play. You may require more or even less than the 500 mg. Most guidelines on this recommend that you start out at the lower limits – say around 400mg and then judge the results for yourself. If you are happy that your appetite is lowered and you are losing weight then you might want to stick to this dosage. If you are not happy you may want to increase the dosage. It should take a few days for you to see or feel the results so reserve judgment until then.

Some Hoodia Gordonii supplements have 750 mg. It is debatable whether this is needed but if you have no success with a product that has 500mg per dose then you may consider a 750 mg variety. Above all it is important to listen to your body when taking these types of supplements. Your body will tell you if it is working and if it is comfortable taking the pill. As an extra precaution you can consult your doctor and ask for advice. And of course, Hoodia Gordonii is not a magic pill, you still need to eat sensibly and get into some regular exercise as a way to use up calories.
