Hoodia Pill vs Hoodia Patch?

Which one works? Which is the best? -Angel

Angel:

If you are serious about trying hoodia, then by all means stay away from hoodia patches as they are a total scam. The most effective type of hoodia is the traditional hoodia capsule.

The sellers of hoodia patches would have you believe that they are more effective but the problem is, there isn’t one single study that proves that is the case. None of the hoodia patches I’ve seen contain real hoodia gordonii and even if they did, most experts believe that it’s very likely that hoodia doesn’t even transmit through the skin.

If you are going to take hoodia, stick with hoodia capsules. Keep in mind that most of the hoodia diet pills on the market today are fake and it’s very easy to get scammed. There are many things to look for in a hoodia product to make sure it is real, but the two most important things are CITES certificates and independent lab test results. You won’t find this information on the bottle itself so you’ll have to check out the websites of the brands you are considering buying. If you’re interested in the other things to look for, read my article on what to look for when you buy hoodia to avoid being scammed.

Hope this helps.
