Hoodia Recommended Dosage: The Hoodia Dose For Maximum Results
Written by Travis Van Slooten on August 26th, 2008Hoodia diet pills can be effective appetite suppressants but the most common question asked by dieters pertains to the recommended hoodia dosage. They want to know how much they can safely take to suppress their appetite. It’s a good question because hoodia diet pills aren’t regulated and don’t require a prescription so dieters are forced to figure it out themselves.
Working out the correct amount of hoodia you should take can be quite a daunting task. Everyone seems to tell a different story, for some a small amount, say 500mg might be enough to suppress their appetite, while others may tell you that they needed nearer to 2,000mg!
Experts say that it can take as much as 3,000mg per day to suppress appetite. And according to one doctor I spoke with who has been conducting a clinical trial for almost two years says that his patients have had the most weight loss success with a hoodia dosage in that 2,250-3,000mg range. He was quick to point out, however, that the positive results his patients have experienced were not only the result of hoodia diet pills. His patients also maintained a healthy diet and exercised.
Everyone’s body is different, and therefore the most effective dose of hoodia will be different from one person to the next. You will probably find that the amount that works for one person, would not work for you. You may require a much higher dose, or alternatively you might only need a fraction of what someone else takes. Pills which contain 100% genuine hoodia gordonii have been shown to be safe so you can experiment to find the right dose for you without worrying too much about side effects. However as with anything if you have any concerns you should contact your doctor immediately.
There are also some people who need to consult their doctor first whether they have any concerns or not. These people include pregnant and nursing women, children under the age of 18, people with any kind of health condition, and anyone taking medications. While diet pills that contain 100% authentic hoodia gordonii are safe, these people need to take caution when considering them and should definitely consult their doctor first! Please do not ignore this warning.
The easiest way to find the correct hoodia dosage for you is to follow the instructions printed on the product label. Reputable companies will always suggest a steady dose of between 800-1,500mg of hoodia, which is about 1 or 2 capsules per day for the first 7 days or so. They will usually then recommend that you slowly increase your dosage until you reach the maximum daily amount, which is typically 4,500mg per day, so that you can find the amount that works best for you.
While hoodia gordonii is fantastic at reducing your appetite, in some people it can also reduce your thirst, so you must always drink lots of water. This is why the label on your hoodia gordonii diet pills will recommend you drink 8-10 ounces of water when taking your hoodia. Anyone who is dieting should be drinking around 8 glasses of water each day anyway!
One final note when it comes to figuring out the most effective hoodia dosage - hoodia gordonii doesn’t work for everyone. Some people simply don’t respond to it no matter how much they take. Keep that in mind because more isn’t necessarily the answer. If you’re taking the upper amounts recommended by the product label and you’re still not noticing any difference in your appetite after a couple weeks, hoodia diet pills probably aren’t going to work for you.
