The idea of having Hoodia in liquid form isn’t a new one. Since the craze started some time circa 2003 there have been many different forms of Hoodia products that claim to have Hoodia Gordonii’s special appetite suppressant properties. The problem is that the product is still very much in its infancy in terms of research and development thus conclusive studies into its effects haven’t been done yet. There have however been a couple of attempts to synthesize or extract the active ingredient which aids in appetite suppression. The attempts have not borne fruit and most of the large pharmaceutical companies involved have withdrawn from the research.

It is generally reported that both extracting Hoodia Gordonii’s active ingredient (P57 molecule) is both hard and very expensive. Trials at synthesizing the P57 molecules have failed. It is based on these reports that I believe what I am going to say is true.

I believe that there are almost no proper extracts of Hoodia Liquid that are on sale in the market now. To properly extract the P57 molecules from Hoodia Gordonii is extremely expensive and generally not viable. If extracted a bottle of Hoodia Liquid would cost a few hundred USD which just isn’t suitable for commercial sale when the pure Hoodia Stem can be easily dried and sold for a much cheaper price.

To make matters worst there are many companies that operate over the Internet that sell supposedly concentrated Hoodia Gordonii Extracts for an extremely low and attractive price. As mentioned earlier, Hoodia extracts can indeed be done but at a prohibitively high cost to the manufacturer. Based on this, most if not all producers that claim to offer Hoodia Liquid made from extracts is either plainly lying or the extract is watered down to such a degree that its ineffective at controlling you appetite. On the other hand there are also producers that do provide full strength Hoodia liquid made from extracts, however expect to pay handsomely for it.

Most people that are willing to pay for the extra Hoodia Liquid made from actual extracts do so for the simple sake of convenience. Normally Hoodia Gordonii comes in the form of Pills which are basically ground-up Hoodia stem that has been dried and put into pill form. With Hoodia Liquids you can easily add them to your beverage without adding any noticeable difference in taste or color.

Personally I would recommend that any potential buyer of Hoodia Gordonii stick to using pills as the process of manufacturing them is much easier and there is much less chance of you being taken for a ride. The regulation for pills seems to be stronger with the number of certificates and checks higher compared to Hoodia Liquid. You should only consider buying Hoodia Liquid if you absolutely can’t take pills or exceedingly want the convenience of a water soluble solution. Just bare in mind that you will be paying of your nose and if the price seems reasonable then you’re probably going to buy a fake product, or at least a product that doesn’t work.
