Choosing among the variety of hoodia supplements currently available may seem like a chore. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error, before a dieter can find the appetite suppressant that works best for them. Hoodia with green tea is often seen. Green tea has been promoted by some very popular diet doctors as an effective natural appetite suppressant. The amount of caffeine found in green tea is less than that found in an equivalent amount of coffee, but people who are sensitive to stimulants may still have to avoid these hoodia supplements.
Hoodia Gordonii Plus is hoodia with green tea, garcinia cambogia, magnesium and a proprietary blend of plant enzymes. The price per bottle is $39.95, but cost per day depends on how much a person needs to take to achieve results. Many people find that they must exceed the dosages recommended on the packages. There is no accepted standard dosage for hoodia supplements. Some people need more. Some people need less. Exceeding the recommended dosage of a product which contains hoodia with green tea could cause side effects, because of the caffeine content. While no side effects have been reported among persons using products containing 100% hoodia gordonii, caffeine may cause increase in heart rate, nervousness, moodiness and could increase blood pressure.
Hoodia XR, Hoodia 750, Desert Burn and many other products contain 100% hoodia gordonii. These hoodia supplements are all certified, genuine hoodia gordonii. They all display appropriate CITES licenses which should ensure that the product is genuine hoodia gordonii. The governments of southern Africa are concerned that some suppliers may not know the difference between hoodia gordonii and the 14 other hoodia species. For this reason, the makers of Desert Burn went to Africa and contracted with a local farmer to supply hoodia gordonii for their hoodia supplements. If you are not happy with the performance of hoodia with green tea added in, then you may achieve better results with a 100% hoodia gordonii product.
It is important to consult your doctor before beginning to use any appetite suppressant. Just as it is important to do so before you begin any diet or exercise program. People do not often listen to this advice, but it is important. If you have an elevated blood pressure, a supplement containing hoodia with green tea or any other stimulant is not the right choice for you. While there are no known side effects associated with 100% hoodia supplements, long term clinical studies have not been completed at this time. So, the best advice is to consult your doctor before you begin to use hoodia supplements, and visit him/her at regular intervals while you are using these products, to be certain that you are not experiencing any negative side effects.
