I wrote a review that gave mega 5 stars last month, but I decided to deleted that one and give a new review with 2 stars after trying hoodia hoodia after I saw what the other reviewer wrote.
Basically I was taking 3 before lunch and 3 before dinner for 750mg each time. It did reduce my appetite but I felt an empty feeling between meal, so I was still thinking about food. I had a fight a bit not to eat snack. As for Hoodia Hoodia, I take only 1 (400mg) before meal and it actually makes me feel FULL after eating a very small portion. I also don’t think about food as often between meal.

I purchased one bottle of “Mega Hoodia” and one bottle of “Hoodia Hoodia” to compare – I’ve already posted my review of the latter, but to sum up – the “Hoodia Hoodia” is much, much stronger stuff than this.
The package of “Mega Hoodia” claims that it’s 100% hoodia, but after opening up a capsule of each I’m extremely skeptical of that – it doesn’t taste or smell like much of anything (the “Hoodia Hoodia” is almost overpoweringly aromatic and bitter) and frankly, it doesn’t seem to work.
I took 2 capsules of Mega Hoodia shortly before lunch and was absolutely ravenous by dinner time. Took another 6 (!) before dinner and waited an hour to see if they were going to have any effect – nothing. For comparision, 2 capsules of the “Hoodia Hoodia” started working in about half an hour and took the edge off my appetite for most of the day.
I’m giving it 2 stars since it seems to have at least a tiny bit of active ingredient in it, but honestly – you’d be better off with something else.

If you have a problem with eating double up on this stuff you won’t eat for 6 hours.
Works Great.
