hoodia

[yvonne1961]

Hello
I was really curious if anyone has tried and had success controlling appetite with this natural cactus called hoodia gordonii. Trimspa is supposed to have them but they are also sold pure.
Thanks for any help

no, but read a lot about hoodia. I'm going to try a bottle this week, will let you know how it works.

there is not enough hoodia in trimspa to do anything,so dont waste your money,hoodia works pretty good if you you try it be sure to 100% pure hoodia succulent with no other additives,i dont know know what succulent means,but i know its the best to get ,you can take 2 to 4 at a time with no side effects,it considerd a food,give it try

I thought succulent referred to any plants which are like cactus, but without spines. I would assume that on the hoodia bottle they meant whole plant (as opposed to an extract). But I'm not an expert...

EDIT: Okay, looked it up. Cacti do fall in the succulent family. Therefore, all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti (examples of non-cacti succulents are hen and chicks, aloe vera, etc.) Also, the spongy tissue of these plants which is used to store water is known as succulent tissue. So, my assumption still stands.

i am on trimspa right now- it is definately doing something- i feel warm all the time.. i feel like i have more energy then usual (while dieting). i dont know if it is a miracle drug- but it does have an effect. i have been on it for 7 days but i havent weighed myself yet because (too much info coming up) i am pms'ing and i always gain at least 5 lbs during this time and i am using the trimspa to lose only 10-15lbs... so any fluctutations are liable to cause some major discouragement...like seeking solace in a bag of reese's bites.... one thing i am doing is taking fibre pills- for a gentle, one month (too much info coming up again, sorry) colon cleanse (not laxatives!!!) which are really giving me a sense of fullness as they expand in your stomach.
anyways, i have tried xenadrine previously ( hated it) and i find the trimspa is much better if you are looking for an appetite suppressant. where would you find the actual hoodia extract?
