DEX-L10 Hoodia Gordonii Natural Appetite Suppressant
- No prescription needed
- No added stimulants
- Effectiveness is unproven
- Some users report headaches, nausea
Reviews say Dex-L10 Hoodia Gordonii Natural Appetite Suppressant actually contains hoodia gordonii, unlike some diet pills that claim to include the South African cactus-like vegetation, but don't. Experts say there's no conclusive evidence that hoodia gordonii suppresses appetite, and some faux hoodia gordonii pills are pumped up with controversial stimulants like bitter orange or green tea extract. Dex-L10 Hoodia Gordonii Natural Appetite Suppressant is free of those additives. Some user reviews complain of side effects such as headaches or nausea; others say it simply doesn't work.
We found no credible professional reviews of diet products that ranked them by effectiveness. Rather, we found credible assessments from the Mayo Clinic, National Institutes of Health, ConsumerReports.org and ConsumerLab.com that say there's little proof that hoodia gordonii will lead to weight loss. We found about a dozen user reviews on Amazon.com that, while interesting, leave the impression that Dex-L10 works for some people and not for others.
