Hoodia XR

Hoodia XR Overview

Hoodia XR is one of a number of products now available on the market that contains the recently popular appetite suppressant. Since being featured on shows such as Oprah and 60 minutes a few years ago, many companies have produced their own form of Hoodia Gordonii containing pills, some more effective than others.The manufacturers of Hoodia XR, Great Herbal Labs, have produced a tablet that stands out from the others due to the fact that it contains a large amount of Hoodia, 1000mg, and is in a time-released formula. The company’s website has a lot of information about the Hoodia plant, it origins and uses. Unlike many other similar products, Hoodia XR actually shows the certificates that were issued to Great Herbal Labs, proving that their ingredient is pure and authentic. The Hoodia XR website is fairly standard, featuring a good FAQ section (covering all topics from the ordering process to health questions related to Hoodia), a testimonials section and manufacturers information.

Hoodia XR - Product Description

As previously mentioned, Hoodia XR claims to contain 1000mg of the ingredient. Most other Hoodia products contain approximately 750mg. However, according to one independent expert, for a capsule to be able to fit 1000mg, it would have to be the size of a horse pill! The only other ingredients in the product are Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid and Cosscarmellose Sodium. Unfortunately, no explanation is given for their inclusion. The manufacturers recommend that Hoodia XR is taken three times a day preferably before meals. Because it contains no stimulants, such as caffeine, it is perfectly safe to use at bedtime.

Hoodia XR - The Bottom Line

Whether Hoodia XR does actually contain 1000mg of Hoodia or not, it is still a good quality product that would certainly have an effect on the appetite. Because it does not contain any fat burning ingredients, or anything to speed the metabolism, it would be vital to combine this pill with some form of cardio exercise and sensible diet.It has received generally positive reviews by independent consumers and is also not overly expensive, costing $49.95 for a one month supply. If the consumer found it to be particularly effective, it would make economical sense to buy it in bulk, as the company offers discounts for larger orders.
