Hoodia in Lip Gloss: Does it Work as an Appetite Suppressant?

Does hoodia in lip gloss really work? As someone who has done a lot of reviews and extensive study about the hoodia gordonii extract as a natural appetite suppressant, I thought I’ve seen it all. I’ve studied about taking hoodia in capsule and gel form and tried out recipes using hoodia in beverages and other healthy foods. So when I read about new cosmetic products that claimed to have hoodia in them, this got my attention.

Right now there are four lip gloss products in the market that claim to have appetite suppressing abilities, but only two of these actually use hoodia as the key ingredient. Without going into the lip-enhancing potential of these two, here’s the skinny on these cosmetic-products-slash-appetite-suppressants:

1. Huge Lips, Skinny Hips by Purple Lab

Retailing at $20 per tube, this lip gloss touts itself as being “the yummiest lip plumper equipped with hoodia.” Now, I will never have the chance to try out the effectiveness of this lip gloss (nor would I ever want to), but according to the ladies who have reviewed Huge Lips, Skinny Hips, after applying this hoodia lip gloss product, they didn’t feel the craving for an afternoon snack… well at least for an hour.

2. Express Effects Thingloss

Thingloss costs more at $28 and takes a two-pronged approach as an appetite suppressant: through its “crave-controlling” ingredients, hoodia and kola nut, and by the use of peppermint essential oil as an odor stimulant to hold back the desire for food. Reviews of Thingloss are not very convincing when it comes to their verdict of it as an appetite suppressant as they can’t really tell how long the effect lasted. But for those who are actually using the product, here’s what they have to say:

My Thoughts on Hoodia in Lip Gloss Products

While these cosmetics may work for temporarily stopping an eating binge, it’s not the product for those who have a lot of weight to lose and want to keep that weight off. For one, the dosage for hoodia gordonii to be really effective an appetite suppressant, the minimum dosage per day should be about 3,000 mg. That’s way more than what little hoodia extract can be packed in a dash of lip gloss.

Try these hoodia in lip gloss products if you must. But if you want a more consistent way of losing weight, why not try out authentic hoodia gordonii diet supplements as well? Coupled with a regular fitness regimen and a healthy diet, you could be fast on your way to a slimmer, healthier body.
