Hoodia Chaser Review

What You Should Know

Hoodia Chaser is one of hundreds of products trying to cash in on the hoodia craze. Hoodia is a desert plant used by African tribesmen for centuries to curb hunger when on long expeditions. While hoodia has received a ton of press since it has been harvested commercially in the past five years, there are still no credible scientific studies showing the plant’s effectiveness in weight loss. Hoodia Chaser is in liquid form that can be put under the tongue or mixed with water. It claims that it is 90% more effective than the pill form because it enters the bloodstream faster. These claims would be more credible if they were accompanied by a shred of evidence in the form of clinical trials. But that is not the case with Hoodia Chaser.

Hoodia Chaser can be purchased directly from the manufacturer’s website through a “free offer” program. Consumers are not even told what the product costs until they have entered all of their information into an online form. The company will automatically ship the product monthly and auto-bill, a practice used by many shady online weight loss product companies.

List of Ingredients

Hoodia Gordonii, garcinia cambogia extract, green tea extract, plant based digestive enzyme complex containing protease, amylase, cellulase, lipase, inverlase, lactase, maltase, papain, and bromelain. Non-active ingredients: 30% alcohol, glycerin, water, and grape flavor.

Product Features

The Hoodia Chaser website does not discuss the purpose of any of the other ingredients in the product other than hoodia. Garcinia cambogia is a southeast Asian plant also called tamarind. We were unable to locate any research showing its effectiveness in weight loss efforts. Green tea is an anti-oxidant and its caffeine triggers a slight thermogenic response which may speed up metabolism. Hoodia Chaser does not explain the reasoning behind including the digestive enzymes. There is nothing in the Hoodia Chaser formulation that peaks our interest or shows any true potential to assist with long term weight management. Like many other products, it relies on the “hoodia” name recognition without proving that it stands out amongst its competitors.

Advantages

  • Hoodia Chaser can be purchased directly from manufacturer’s website.

Disadvantages

  • No clinical proof is provided that the product or main ingredients are effective at assisting with weight loss.
  • No money-back guarantee is offered on opened product.
  • No links to clinical testing of the product are provided at this time.
  • Hoodia concentration is lower than in some competitive products.

Conclusion

There are so many hoodia products on the diet market today and Hoodia Chaser appears to be in the middle of the pack. We do like that the product comes with third party certification that it actually does include hoodia as it is estimated that over half of the “hoodia” products on the market today do not contain this ingredient at all. However, the lack of clinical proof of the effectiveness of hoodia leads us to recommend that consumers look for products that contain known weight management ingredients produced by companies that stand behind their products with a money-back guarantee.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

Top Choice for 2009: 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).
