Hoodiacore Review

What You Should Know

Hoodiacore is another hoodia based weight loss supplement that joins a large group of appetite suppressants touting the benefits of this ingredient. Hoodia gordonii is a cactus like plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa and has been used by the natives of the area for centuries to ward off hunger during long hunting treks across the desert.

A few short years ago, scientists were able to isolate the substance in hoodia that contributes to appetite suppression, P57. This ingredient can successfully trick the brain into thinking the stomach is full, even after just a few bites of food. The benefits of this substance have led many companies to produce hoodia based diet supplements, which is why there are so many on the market today. However, not all hoodia supplements are created equal, so we will look closely at Hoodiacore to see if it can deliver on its promises.

Ingredients

The only ingredient listed for Hoodiacore is 250 mg of South African hoodia gordonii succulent complex.

Product Features

The recommended dose for Hoodiacore is two capsules one hour before meals, which totals 500 mg. per serving. The advertising on the product claims that the Hoodiacore contains 500 mg which is somewhat misleading in light of the fact that each capsule only contains 250 mg However, we like that this product recommends a larger amount of hoodia than other weight loss supplements, because scientific research has shown that it take a significant amount of this substance to have a desired effect.

We are not comfortable with the way that Hoodiacore is marketed on the product website. For example, the company, Central Coast Nutraceuticals, supposedly offers a trial offer that costs one dollar. However, customers must also pay $4.95 at the time of the order for shipping and handling. In addition, if the company doesn’t hear anything from the customer within 20 days, they will charge the customer $38.95 for the original bottle, which is the regular price of the product. The customer will also be signed up on an auto ship program that will automatically ship a one month supply of the product every 30 days and charge the customer’s credit card $39.95.

Advantages

• The product contains a sufficient amount of hoodia.
• The company does offer a 30-day return policy on unopened bottles.

Disadvantages

• The company uses some deceptive marketing practices to lure customers in.
• There are no refunds available on opened bottles after the trial is complete.
• The product does not include a proven fat burner in its formula.

Conclusion

While some dieters like the idea of a single ingredient that has no known side effects, hoodia may not be the most effective ingredient available for weight loss. We prefer supplements that include both appetite suppression and thermogenic abilities for best results. In addition, we would caution consumers from doing business with any company that practices deceptive marketing strategies like those offered for Hoodiacore. We believe there are better companies available that will provide better customer service and a higher quality of product.
