Hoodia Maxx Review

What You Should Know

Hoodia Maxx is a weight loss supplement that claims to help dieters lose weight by suppressing the appetite. Other benefits of Hoodia Maxx might include increased energy levels and an overall sense of wellbeing, according to the product website and other general information we found about the advantages of using Hoodia. While these claims may sound promising to many dieters, there are dozens of Hoodia-based supplements on the market making similar claims. We will have to look at Hoodia Maxx a bit more closely to see if this product has any advantages over similar supplements.

We found two different websites marketing Hoodia Maxx, and neither one provided much in the way of clinical research or customer testimonials. There was some information about Hoodia and references to a variety of publications and news programs that have featured this substance. However, the information referred to Hoodia Gordonii in general and not to specific products containing the substance like Hoodia Maxx. In fact, many of the references were directed at eating parts of the plant directly, instead of taking a supplement containing a Hoodia extract.

Ingredients

It appears that the only active ingredient in Hoodia Maxx is 1000 mg. of Hoodia Gordonii. The company does state that the Hoodia used is authentic Hoodia from the Kalahari Desert in South Africa and that they have the certification to prove it. While certification is not always the best way to determine whether the Hoodia used in a supplement is pure, it is better than not having certification at all. In addition, we are pleased to see such a high dose of Hoodia contained in the product, since higher levels will mean greater appetite suppression and better results.

Product Features

The marketing of this product appears to be a bit deceptive. For example, the company offers a $1 risk free trial of Hoodia to allow customers to try the product out. However, if the customer does not contact the company within 20 days, there will be a charge on the customer’s credit card for the full amount of the product – $47.80 at the time of this review. Customers will also be charged a hefty shipping charge of $6.95, meaning the entire risk free offer will end up costing the customer around $57. The customer will also be signed up for the auto ship program that will send a month supply of Hoodia Maxx and charge the customer’s credit card every 30 days.

Advantages

  • Hoodia Maxx contains a sufficient amount of Hoodia.
  • The Hoodia used comes with a certification of authenticity.

Disadvantages

  • The product does not contain a proven fat burner for maximum benefit.
  • The company doesn’t provide customer testimonials or clinical research.
  • The product is more expensive than many other weight loss supplements.

Conclusion

There is little doubt that Hoodia can effectively suppress the appetite. However, we believe the most effective weight loss formula will combine appetite suppression with a proven fat burner for best results. We also prefer companies that are more up front with their business practices, and more forthcoming with information about their product.

Top Choice for 2010: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
