H57 Hoodia? Does it work? Any luck??

I have not taken H57 Hoodia, but based on what I've learned about the product I would not recommend you waste your money. Most of the hoodia diet pills on the market today are fake. In fact, one expert claims the percentage of fake supplements could be as high as 80%! Unfortunately, H57 Hoodia may be one of them.

The best way (the ONLY way really) to determine if a product is real is to have it tested by an independent lab. Reputable companies that are selling authentic hoodia gordonii will have their products tested at random on a regular basis to ensure what they are selling is real. H57 claims they do that but they don't offer any proof (i.e. test results) on their website.

If that isn't enough, the respected BBC Journalist, Tom Mangold, in conjunction with Millennium Health Supplements (the largest exporter of South African Hoodia Gordonii in the world), purchased H57 Hoodia from store shelves in December of 2005 and October of 2006 and had it tested by an independent lab. The results in both cases showed that the material in Hoodia H57 capsules was not hoodia gordonii. Bill Flohr, the producer of ‘The Health Report’ said of the tests, “We were very surprised that H57 Hoodia failed testing both times.” For this reason alone, I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for effective appetite suppression.

Granted, those tests were done in 2005 and 2006, but the fact that H57 Hoodia failed two tests in two consecutive years isn't a good sign. Even if H57 Hoodia is authentic, there isn't much hoodia in the product. There is only 200mg of hoodia gordonii in each two-capsule serving. This amount of hoodia isn’t going to do much for appetite suppression. Experts and doctors alike say it can take as much as 3,000mg of hoodia gordonii per day to suppress appetite. You’d have to swallow 30 capsules of this product at those doses! Heck, even if you cut that hoodia dosage recommendation in half you’d still have to take 15 pills per day.

The other thing you’ll notice is that Hoodia H57 contains other ingredients. These ingredients aren’t necessarily dangerous nor are they going to cause any unwanted side effects, but they are unnecessary for appetite suppression. The other ingredients shown may have some potential benefits as it pertains to weight loss, but at such low doses I doubt they play a significant role.

If you are serious about taking hoodia, I would stick with brands that have been proven to contain 100% authentic hoodia gordonii such as Desert Burn, Hoodoba, and Hoodia Hoodia. If you'd like to learn more about these brands, you can read detailed reviews of each here:
