Produced by Ultra Herbal, Hoodia Gordonii Plus is an herbal supplement advertised as helping with weight loss. While there is a potential that the ingredients contained in Hoodia Gordonii Plus could contribute to weight loss, its effectiveness has not been proved.

Ingredients

The primary ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii Plus is hoodia, a supplement derived from a cactus-like plant native to South Africa. Other ingredients include magnesium, garcina cambogia extract, green tea, protease, amylase, cellulase, lipase, invertase, lactase, maltase, papain and bromelain.

Function

The makers of the Hoodia Gordonii Plus claim that the hoodia plant suppresses your appetite.

Potential

A 2007 study conducted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Scottsville, South Africa, and published in the "Phytochemistry" journal found that laboratory rats given hoodia ate less and lost weight. It is still unknown whether the plant has similar effects upon humans.

Features

The makers of Hoodia Gordonii Plus offer a satisfaction guarantee that will refund the purchase price of the product if users do not have any weight loss within six months of use.

Considerations

Because Hoodia Gordonii Plus is an herbal supplement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not evaluate the product for safety or effectiveness. Just as the effectiveness of hoodia is largely unknown, the safety of the herb when taken for short or long periods of time cannot be determined, warns rxlist.com.
