We know it works! However we know WHY some dieters have bad luck with hoodia.

We're convinced the bad reviews are generating from those that are not taking PURE HOODIA, but are buying imitation hoodia type products which contain VERY LITTLE ACTUAL HOODIA. (watch this short clip below)

There are a few things to understand about HOODIA as a weight loss aid. We know from experience hoodia is a rock solid appetite suppressant. So before you make up your mind please read on...

What Is Hoodia?

pure-hoodia Hoodia Gordonii is a powerful, natural appetite suppressant, which may be the best natural weight loss supplement on the market today.

It works by simply tricking the brain into thinking the stomach is full, so you eat less which naturally results in weight loss.

Looking at Hoodia you might mistake it for a cactus but it is technically called a "succulent" as flowers blossom from it. Hoodia Gordonii grows naturally in the desert regions of South Africa and is now being commercialy cultivated.

Hunger and Hoodia

YOU'RE HUNGRY AGAIN! it's because your blood sugar is dropping or has dropped. Most people unfortunately eat whatever they can to cure the hunger right then and there.

If the' quick hunger fix' is a sugary carb snack or a bag of chips your blood chemistry will SPIKE with glucose to satisfy that part part of the brain.

Taking hoodia instead, ELIMINATES cravings for these FAT PRODUCING, high carb snacks for several hours.

How does Hoodia Work?

When you eat sugar or certain specific carbohydrates ( rice, bread, potatoes, pastries, desserts etc..) your blood sugar increases quickly.

This surge in blood glucose triggers a response in the nerves within the portion of the hypothalumus that controls appetite.

This spike in blood glucose sets up a response between the brain and the body that says: " Hey body! We've sensed you've eaten enough and we're not hungry any more, so you can stop eating now - we're SATISFIED!".

HOODIA simulates high blood sugar levels. Within minutes after consuming hoodia, your brain reacts as if your blood chemistry was at a HIGH GLUCOSE level, bascally tricking the body into thinking it is satisfied. That's WHY you feel NO HUNGER CRAVINGS after taking Hoodia.

Researchers have specifically narrowed down the active molecule that is responsible for this simulation in blood chemistry - it's called the 'P57 Molecule', and it occurs totally naturally in the hoodia plant.

Any Proof That Hoodia Works?

Yes.

One major study done by David MacLean, MD, Adjunct Associate Professor at Brown University , Providence, R.I who also spent time with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, concluded that the P57 molecule does, without a doubt , have an appetite suppressing effect; it directly effects the hypothalumus, the portion of the brain which is responsible for regulating appetite. This was published in the Sept. 10, 2004, issue of Brain Research,

He also concluded that the P57 molecule was literally thousands of times more powerful in triggering a " high glucose" type response to the hypothalumus than actual glucose itself. This is why hoodia is so effective in controling appetite.

Another important study that supports the use of hoodia goronii as a legitimate, effective appetite suppressant, was done by Richard M. Goldfarb, MD, a doctor in Morrisville, Pa., who conducted a study of Hoodia gordonii on people and found it effective.

The results of the control group in DR Goldfarbs study showed an average group weight loss of 10 lbs in 28 days. This regimen included taking 1000 mg of pure hoodia daily which caused almost all participants to report a reduction of 1/2 their normal caloric intake.

Hoodia - Is it safe?

YES -The overwhelming consensus is that hoodia is completely safe...NO Side Effects. However, if you are diabetic you should consult your doctor before taking hoodia.

Hoodia and Diabetes

if you are diabetic consult your doctor if you want to use Hoodia.

Remember, the way Hoodia works is by "tricking the brain" that the stomach is full by registering high blood sugar levels.

** Without the hunger mechanism (low blood sugar level) diabetics may experience dangerously low blood sugar levels and not be aware of it. **

Buying Hoodia

Dieters that report unsatisfactory results with HOODIA, have more than likely purchased some imitation hoodia like product.

You have to READ THE INGREDIENTS. Real pure hoodia is what you want, not a combination of other additives.

Real Hoodia has no filler, the only other ingredient you should see is for the gelatin capsule ie..gelatin, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid.

We've seen popular products marketed alongside REAL HOODIA that contain many fillers such as:

A capsule with all of these EXTRA ingredients will not give you the PURE hoodia effect you want. What you'll get is the the jitters more than likely. Calcium Pyruvate has been known for side effects like bloating, gas, and diarreha, so please be aware. Chromium has been targeted for study regarding it's effect on DNA damage. With only a meager 50 MG of Hoodia filler you're appetite suppression will be minimal compared to the capsules below. We honestly think these are waste of money.

The question is "why should you take the risk of consuming a diet pill that has possible and known side effects when hoodia has been widely confirmed as being very effective being risk free?" It just doesn't make sense!

For example: Desert burn ZA 50 :"recommended dosage: 2 - 750 mg tablets contain 1500 mg pure hoodia", plus the gelatin capsule. That's ALL you should see on any hoodia lablel you buy.

** I did use the Desert burn ZA 50 product and was very pleased with the results. In the last 8 months I've been on a modified carbohydrate diet that failed once before because I couldn't hack the initial 2 week 'Carb Purge'. I tried the diet again but used Hoodia as an appetite supressant consistantly in the first 2 weeks and absolutely breezed through the carb elimination phase. **
