Hoodia diet pills are expensive for the reasons mentioned above – it usually takes five years before a hoodia plant can be harvested, and it's only found in Africa. It's also quite difficult to grow; in addition to the required four to five years waiting time, it also requires very high temperatures to grow. This explains why it's so costly.

In fact ,some people who are already using hoodia say that they need at least 1,200 milligrams per day to get the result that they want.
