Hoodia - Mysteries Unraveled
An Honest Look Hoodia, the Claims, the Results and the Lies!

Did you know...

Hoodia works particularly well if used with a regimental diet. Do some research on which diet you'd like to follow and use hoodia to compliment it. Have goals and follow a structured diet to get the most from Hoodia's suppresant properties.

Hoodia works extremely well is teamed up with lots of liquids. Hoodia can give the satiated feel while liquids can help to expand and weigh down the stomach to again help in keeping the full feeling. Find a balance between drinking too much and drinking enough to feel satiated.

Hoodia is particularly good at stemming night time hunger pains when trying to maintain a "no food at night" plan. Use it an hour after dinner and still go to bed feeling full without having to pig out before you sleep.

It isn't recommended to use hoodia before eating breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and as such should not be missed, rather use hoodia to control your appetite during lunch and dinner, especially for supper.

Hoodia Weight Loss

You're probably here because you want to know the ins and outs of this new hoodia weight loss supplement that you've heard so much about. Firstly we’ll go into the basics of the Hoodia plant, its origins and its uses. The Latin name for the plant is Hoodia Gordonii and is normally referred to simply as Hoodia in the basic English language. Hoodia is also sometimes called Xhooba, Khoba, Ghaap, Hoodia Cactus and South African Desert Cactus.

Derivatives of the Hoodia Cactus have been used for many centuries by the African people for weight and appetite control however have only become known to the general public only a few years back when it was published on TV in BBC News and “60 Minutes” at around the same time. This created a new buzz in the weight loss market with people who were hungry for new weight loss supplements after their loss of Ephedra a few months before.

The popularity in hoodia mostly stems from the claim that the African Bushmen have used the plant to help in reducing hunger pains and thirst when they were out on long hunting trips. The part that was normally eaten was the bottom of the stem which is bitter to the taste.

Hoodia grows in clumps of green upright stems which is why it is easily mistaken as a cactus, which it is not. Hoodia is actually a plant which is well suited to its harsh desert climate. Hoodia can only be harvested when the first flowers start to bloom. It generally takes about 5 years before a plant is mature enough to be harvested.

Active Ingredient

In all there are 13 known types of Hoodia however there is only one specific type which has the hunger and thirst suppressant properties, Hoodia Gordonii. The active ingredient that offers this effect is steroidal glycoside which is known to the industry simply as “P57”.

Research of the Hoodia Gordonii and its active ingredient P57 officially started in 1937 where a Dutch scientist noted that bushmen who ate Hoodia Gordonii had the ability to suppress their hunger and thirst. The research of Hoodia really started in 1995 when after P57 was isolated and was licensed to a company called PhytoPharm. It was reported that over $20 million was spent on the research of Hoodia by PhytoPharm. Currently PhytoPharm is working with Unilever for further research and development of the Hoodia plant.
