Summary of Hoodia Gordonii Plus Testimonials

Hoodia Gordonii Plus

What makes the plus part? The plus must mean something. Real hoodia gordonii plus is a hoodia diet pill on the market that is one of the more popular to purchase. The hoodia content is not considered a high hoodia dosage, and there are other ingredients. Overdosing beyond the manufacturer's recommendation is not a good idea, even if the dosage may seem low and diluted with other ingredients.

    The primary active ingredient in real hoodia gordonii plus is, as the name suggests, hoodia gordonii, a plant grown in the South African desert of Kalahari. Real hoodia gordonii plus provides 400mg of concentrated hoodia gordonii. While this is not considered a high hoodia dosage, it appears to contain concentrates which may be more potent than non-concentrated products. CITES certification and product analysis available for inspection at the real hoodia gordonii plus website support the authenticity of the hoodia gordonii used by the company. Many manufacturers do not have these certifications and analysis reports.

    As the plus suggests, hoodia gordonii is not the only active ingredient in real hoodia gordonii plus since 50mg of garcinia cambogia is included. Garcinia cambogia which is commonly called gambooge is a plant native to West and Central Africa and parts of Asia. Gambooge was used in traditional Indian medicine to treat a variety of ailments. One must assume that it was included in real hoodia gordonii plus, because certain clinical studies indicate that the active compound found in gambooge can decrease  body mass index, appetite and increase the body's ability to burn fat. Research of the effects of gambooge is contradictory. Some groups showed positive results while others did not, but it is widely recommended as a natural fat burner. Most products that do contain a high hoodia dosage, do not include any other ingredients.

    Real hoodia gordonii plus also includes 250 mg of magnesium, an essential mineral found in most vitamin supplements. Some well known diet experts recommend supplementation of magnesium. It is not commonly found in supplements which contain a high hoodia dosage, claiming that it is pure hoodia only in the supplement. Magnesium helps strengthen muscles including the heart and helps the body to make use of the B complex vitamins, (important for energy) vitamin C and E. Magnesium is found naturally in green vegetables, nuts and seafood, but since the average American diet is high in starches, breads and pasta, which are low in magnesium, most people do not get enough. Total daily intake of magnesium should not exceed 400 mg, as higher dosages can be toxic. If you choose to use real hoodia gordonii plus, check the label of your daily vitamin to make sure that it does not contain more than the daily recommended intake of magnesium. There is also 50mg of green tea extract in real hoodia gordonii plus. Most products which contain a high hoodia dosage do not include green tea. There have been numerous studies about the health benefits of green tea. It contains anti-oxidants which are thought to prevent cancer and possibly even wrinkles. Presumably, hoodia gordonii plus includes green tea in its product because research has shown that green tea can raise metabolic rates, speed up fat oxidation and calorie burning. Most green tea contains caffeine, so those who are sensitive to stimulants might need to avoid use of real hoodia gordonii plus.

    There are other ingredients in real hoodia gordonii plus as well. Those mentioned here are the most notable. Most high dosage hoodia pills on the market, those which provide 750mg or more of pure hoodia gordonii powder do not contain any of these ingredients. Some believe that the other ingredients are included because the amount of hoodia is so small, that other ingredients must be used to obtain the desired effects. Others believe that it is a way to dilute the costly supplement.
