Power Pops by Fun Unlimited is a lollipop that contains hoodia gordonii and is marketed as a weight loss product.
Power pops typically come in a bag containing 30 Lollipops or a Power Pops sample pack, they are a very expensive lollipop at $30 per bag or more. Power Pops come in assorted flavors like Cherry, Green Apple, Root Beer Float, Pina Colada, Grape, Butter Pecan, White Chocolate, Chocolate Mousse, Mountain Berry, Cinnamon, Waterrmelon, Pink Lemonade, Cappuccino, Banana, Orange or Peach. Power Pops contain hoodia (amount unknown) in addition to Citrimax, L-Tyrosine, Vitamin B6 and B12 and Guarana (Form of Caffeine)
Stated in Wikiipedia there is no published scientific evidence that hoodia works as an appetite suppressant in humans. Hoodia has recently been used in many weight loss supplements as an inexpensive alternative to more researched supplement ingredients such as Green Tea or Hydroxycitric Acid.
The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) created an industry standard for Hoodia authentication as a result of criticism by the FTC of the hoodia industry and complaints by consumers of fraudulent hoodia products being marketed.
If you have tried Power Pops and had any results, positive or negative, please let us know your testimonials.
If you are convinced you need to try a hoodia product, you should look for a copy of CITES and USDA permit from a manufacturer of "Hoodia" products or a report from an independent testing lab to confirm the product actually contains Hoodia Gordonii as it is highly counterfitted. We were unable to find any certificates of authenticity or CITES import permits for Hoodia gordonii from the company Fun Unlimited, for Power pops, but they may exist.
Even in the absense of any scientific evidence on any effectiveness of hoodia, supplement companies are still marketing supplements containing hoodia with claims that hoodia can lower blood pressure and reduce appetite. TrimSpa marketed Hoodia Gordonii with their product called X32 made popular by now deceased Anna Nicole Smith, Trimspa is now in a lawsuit in california which claims that it does not contain any P37, the active ingredient in Hoodia and companies are also being sued by the state of NJ for misleading consumers. The entire country of Canada has not approved any hoodia products for sale.
