In just taking a pill, you will not feel hungry for about 10-12 hours or even more. Isn’t that fantastic! This is how Hoodia works. Actually, Correspondents and Journalists who have been in South Africa studied the qualities and the effects of Hoodia Gordonii.
Did you heard about Ephedra? I think so. This is another weight loss product use way back but was banned because lot of people end up dead as they used it.
So now, maybe some are asking if Hoodia are 100% safe.
Hoodia Gordonii has good news and a bad news. Let us talk about the good news first.
We all know that Hodia Gordonii was from South Africa and was used by tribes to deal about their hunger and it doesn’t have side effects.
Hoodia Gordonii contains P57, which is responsible in dealing with thirst and hunger. There have been researches performed to some obese people and can really help in losing weight with no negative effects. It is tested that Hoodia Gordonii is not a stimulant like Ephedra that works by increasing body’s metabolism and doesn’t have side effect unlike other weight loss products that cause side effects like high blood pressure, elevated heart rate, nervousness, nausea or vomiting.
Now, let us move on with the bad news.
More researches should be done to know enough about Hoodia. Next, Hoodia works by suppressing thirst and appetite, which can lead to dehydration, so one who is using such product should drink a lot of water. Hoodia can be dangerous to people who has diabetes, since a diabetic people may undergo sudden decrease in sugar level. We still don’t know the reaction of Hoodia Godonii with the use of other drugs. So better consult your doctor if you plan to take other drugs while using Hoodia Gordonii.

A Guide to Pure Hoodia Gordonii
By the time you finish reading this you should have a good understanding of pure hoodia gordonii and the deceptive phrasing some hoodia sellers use on their product labels.
My goal is to equip you with the knowledge to become a more informed consumer and dramatically increase your chances of buying a quality hoodia product rather than one of the many fraudulent ones floating around the Internet, or even found in retail stores.
Before we discuss product labeling, let's talk first about why there are so many hoodia scam products.
Here are the biggest reasons you're hard pressed to find pure hoodia gordonii products:
1. Hoodia gordonii is a rare plant that grows natively only in Southern Africa. The plant takes many years (6 to 7) before reaching maturity....the state at which it can be harvested and used for its anti-obesity effects. This limits the supply.
2. Hoodia is a protected plant and its trade is governed by International law. Something called a Hoodia CITES certificate is needed to export it legally out of South Africa. This selectively granted permit limits the supply even further for us in the Western world.
3. Media attention from some of the biggest print sources and TV shows -- including the BBC, CBS, The Today Show, Oprah, and more -- have all covered the appetite suppressing effects of pure hoodia gordonii, which has lead to a huge surge in demand.
And whenever there is a huge demand for a product with a naturally limited supply, fraudulent products will inevitably flood the market. Let's face it, fast buck artists have been around from the beginning to time and will probably be around till the end of time too.
4. There are many kinds of hoodia plant, but only the hoodia gordonii species contains the weight loss active ingredient everybody is looking for.
5. Hoodia is not regulated by the FDA and, therefore, no testing is required for the products to hit the shelves or be sold online.
We also want to emphasize that your concern for finding a quality hoodia product should not just be focussed on the Internet. In fact, Whole Foods Market, a large high end grocery store chain has pulled some hoodia products off its shelves on concerns about quality.
So caution about finding pure hoodia gordonii should extend to retail outlets as well, such as health food stores, supplement sellers like GNC, and others. In short, just because it's sold in a store doesn't mean it's going to be better quality.
Now, let's talk about one of the most deceptive claims made by some hoodia product sellers.
As we mentioned above, there are many kinds of hoodia plant. Since only the hoodia gordonii species has the anti-obesity effects, and is expensive and hard to get, some unscrupulous companies will use any hoodia plant they can get their hands on, and claim their product contain "pure hoodia."
And, yes, it may contain pure hoodia....it's just not pure hoodia gordonii and, therefore, absolutely worthless to you if you are looking to lose weight.
Another thing to be aware of is buying products that are made from the "whole hoodia gordonii plant."
This is because approximately 40% of the plant contains no active ingredient....such as the skin, fibrous material, flowers, pulpy leaves, etc. To reduce the cost of making the product (and therefore reducing any potential effectiveness for you as a weight loss aid) they make their products from the whole plant.
However, we wouldn't call this a scam if they are advertising pure hoodia gordonii made from whole plant, but it's something to be aware of since we wouldn't want to pay for 40% fillers ourselves.
By contrast, some companies will produce hoodia concentrates, which, in our opinion, are better.
A concentrate can be produced by taking the hoodia gordonii plant and placing it into an alcohol solution. When the alcohol is removed, it removes a great deal of the fillers with it, leaving a higher amount of the core of the plant, which is where the active ingredient is.
This concentrate is then used to make the product.
When you see a 10:1 on a hoodia product label, this means 10 grams of the whole hoodia plant was used to make 1 gram of what goes into the product.
Another thing to be aware of is that some companies will advertise their products to contains pure hoodia gordonii, but if you look at the label, you will see other ingredients in there....usually stimulants that are used to increase your body's metabolism.
Again, this is not a scam because some people do want to buy a hoodia product that uses caffeine stimulants that may increase the potential weight loss benefits of the product.
On the other hand, a lot of people are looking strictly for pure hoodia gordonii without any stimulants because they don't react well to these stimulants -- they can cause you to feel nervous, jittery, give you elevated heart rates, and more.
Lastly, because a Hoodia CITES certificate is needed for export of the hoodia gordonii plant, you should try to stick to vendors that display a copy of a Hoodia CITES certificate on their website to increase the chances of you buying a quality pure hoodia gordonii product.
This is not foolproof, however, since the more clever and unethical companies could conceivably counterfeit the CITES certificate.
With the aforementioned facts and points to keep in mind, you'll increase your chances of buying a real pure hoodia gordonii product.

Hoodia: Weight Loss "Miracle"
A lot has been said and written about Hoodia since it was introduced into the market and has “taken the weight loss world by storm.”
People were amazed by its potentials in helping them achieve the ever desired slim yet healthy body.
Hoodia is a cactus like succulent plant grown in the wild, arid southwestern part of Africa. This herb grows up to 2-3 feet only but it offers huge benefits to people who dreamt of losing their excess poundage.
Hoodia contains a “miracle” molecule called P57 which is primarily responsible in suppressing appetite by tricking the brain into thinking that you are full thereby limiting your food cravings. Traditionally used by the San people in the early times to quench thirst and reduce hunger in their long journeys, Hoodia is now widely sought after by thousands around the world to help cure obesity.
If we are to compare Hoodia with other previous, or existing, weight loss products, there are certain factors that make it so different from the rest.
Other than its miraculous properties in staving off hunger pangs, Hoodia has no known side effects. Unlike other weight loss brands, it doesn’t give you racing heart beat as well as nausea, diarrhea, or insomnia.
Many Hoodia users claim that they have reduced an average of 1,000 calories per day. This means 50% average daily calorie savings. Imagine losing 10 pounds in 30 days!! This is indeed an amazing result.
Hoodia obviates the need to keep count of carbohydrates or calories, the need to buy special foods. You can eat whatever foods you want, only less of them. This is the effect of Hoodia.
Is Hoodia expensive? No, it is inexpensive. Unlike other products, Hoodia is affordable yet safe and effective.
Not all Hoodia products are exactly the same. To benefit from the potentials of Hoodia, make sure that you are buying Hoodia Godonii, the only species that contains the appetite suppressing properties. Hoodia is being grown in other areas like China and Mexico, but the genuine Hoodia Gordonii originates from South Africa.
In order for Hoodia to work for your weight loss regimen, you should take the right dosage. Ideally, 1000 to 3000 mgs. of Hoodia is the recommended dosage. Check the label of the Hoodia product you are buying – the lower the dose, the more servings you are going to take.
The effect of Hoodia can be felt on the first day but it takes 3-5 days for you to feel the maximum effects. So be patient and give it time to work.
It is highly recommended that you should first consult your physician before using Hoodia. He can check your physical condition for any underlying health condition or other medication that would prevent its use. Doctors discourage the use of Hoodia for pregnant or nursing women.
Hoodia is proven to curb your appetite but this doesn’t mean you will starve yourself. There is no substitute for a healthy diet, so see to it that you eat fresh fruits and vegetables, lean met, take plenty of water and vitamins.
If you are truly serious in losing excess weight, take Hoodia religiously, integrate it with your healthy diet and maintain regular exercise. In no time at all, you will begin to marvel the miracle which Hoodia brings.
