Hoodia

Hoodia gordonii is a cactus-like juicy plant, inhabitant of the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. Hoodia has gained a lot of hype these days for its natural appetite suppressant properties. Many Hoodia species are secluded plants, archetypal of the Namib Desert, ranging from Central Namibia to southern Angola, especially in plains and rocky areas. Hoodia gordonii is a leafless spiky succulent plant with remedial uses. It grows naturally in South Africa and Namibia. The flowers smell like rotten meat and are pollinated mostly by flies. The use of Hoodia has long been known by the native populations of Southern Africa, where these plants are rarely used for treating heartburn and small diseases. The hoodia patch has gained popularity recently due to its reasonable price and influential claims, prepared by those who sell them. Another red flag is how the hoodia patch is being sold.

The sellers of hoodia patches claim that a patch is more effectual than diet pills, because you’ll get a slow release of hoodia gordonii into the bloodstream throughout the day. The supposition behind the hoodia patch is that, the hoodia gordonii go through the stomach and reaches the bloodstream directly through the skin, resulting in faster and more effectual appetite suppression. The fact is that, it doesn’t work. Hoodia diet pills carry the herbal power of 100% pure Hoodia gordonii, with nothing eliminated except water. Hoodia diet pills are widely used in allover the world for weight loss. Hoodia gordonii is often touted as a herbal diet pill without side effects.



There have been no published studies on the wellbeing of hoodia in humans. A former hoodia researcher says the herb may have unpleasant effects on the liver. It is probable that daily use of hoodia diet supplements may expose side effects down the road, but for now it seems to be safe. If you recall, Ephedra was once thought safe until unpleasant side effects were revealed and the supplement was eventually banned. Any side effects experienced with these diet pills aren’t the result of hoodia gordonii, but rather the result of all the other ingredients they contain.
