Hoodia Gordoni is available in the form of tablets, capsules, liquid, tea, coffee and patches. In all these Hoodia supplements, you will commonly find dosages such as 1000mg, 750mg 500 mg and 400 mg. 

To understand what the best dosage is, there are certain factors that you need to look into beforehand. Hoodia Gordinii appears to be safe and this is evident in the fact that the San Bushmen have been using it for thousands of years, without facing any side effects. The test conducted by Phytopharm (the company, which has got the patent rights to the active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonni), showed no problems for the participants who took Hoodia Gordonii.  Still, a lot of research and testing needs to be done on Hoodia Gordonii, though there are no known side effects to taking it as a way to achieve weight loss. This point equally applies to the question of what is the correct dosage for weight loss.

Generally, what is advised is to start with a small dosage – say 500mg and take this dosage about 30 minutes before meals. You should note your body’s reaction to this dosage. If you experience no side effects, you can double the dosage. Once again, you should note if the increased dosage agrees with you. If so, you can continue with this dosage itself. The process of testing for the correct dosage is needed, to find out what really works for you. The same process applies to Hoodia supplement products which are extracts or concentrates.

You can also consult you doctor, to monitor your dosage progress and consulting is particularly important for people who have health complications such as diabetes, blood pressure and so on.
