Has anybody used hoodia mint and does it work?!
Question: You are right to be dubious about Hoodia products on the web, my company is continuously backing up our Hoodia Mint product claims by showing consumers our certificate on export and analysis. Hoodia Gordinii is protected under the CITIES agreement on endangered plants and as a result you have to prove that your supplies are from registered farms in the Kalahari. In addition last year Hoodia products where required to licensed under the THMPD - Traditional Herbal Medicines propriatory directory, this basically is similar to what has happened to a number of herbal products such as Echinacea and St Johns Wort. When the Medicines control agency see proof that or due to publicity that a herbal or natural product is known to the public to have medicinal effects they pull them in and put them in this catagory.
If a product has been on sale before April 2004 the company is allowed to continue to sell the product until 2009 and can submit a dossier of safety and trials to move to a full medical licence, this can cost many 1000's of pounds and it is likely to remove the product from sale.
One of the reasons that Hoodia has become so wel known is the fact that Unilever a massive food manufacturer have purchased the rights to the Hoodia active ingredient and are planning to add it to a range of food products in the next few years.
The product we sell was on sale before 2004 and is one of only a few which is legal to sell. You can obtain it from Holland & Barrett or Tesco Nutricentre's or direct from ourselves on 01782 825323
I hope this helps

Almost all hoodia is completely bogus. It is extremly diffucult and expensive to get your hands on the real thing. i found a reputable brand and i shelled out like 60$ it controlled my appetite but wasn't worth it. i actually ended up getting better results form slimquik extreme 9 a little speedy but defiently good appetite suppresant/workout motivator). I think hoodia is a bit overhyped. I advise that you not waste your money. unless you are certain it is the real deal, and even then..the results dont command the high price.
