Well, the last was said in jest, but if the truth were told about Hoodia Gordonii, there are endless varieties of Hoodia Gordonni products easily available in the market today, which the media has reported extensively on.

For, the organic nature of the Hoodia Gordonii diet pills offer a safe, natural method of killing any desire for food. Thus, it hits the tendency towards obesity in its users due to a certain molecule (P 57) contained in the herb that deceives the user’s brain into believing their stomach is full.

This statistic was revealed to the media by the South African scientists who had been routinely testing the Hoodia plant, particularliy the Hoodia Gordonii (one of twenty varieties of Hoodia that have been tested and found to have appetite suppressant and weight loss promotion properties) as having its license given to bio-pharmaceutical company, called Phytopharm in Cambridgeshire. This pharma firm then sold the license it had bought from South African researchers to Pfizer Corporation who is the biggest name today for Hoodia Gordonii development and marketing in the world.

The fact that the world’s top news and media agencies, like the BBC and VH1 besides other health and fitness channels have also taken an interest in Hoodia Gordonii’s status as the cactus cure for fat-loss has further helped sales of this hottest new way to shed pounds, minus the perspiration!

If just one molecule contained in the Hoodia Gordonii cactus can help you feel full enough for hours, it is no wonder that avid weight watchers are keen to get their hands on it as there are millions of men and women in the developed world who’d love to get the magic of such an effortless way to get fit for life. The Hoodia Gordonii herb was reported by the media as having great marketing potential as the British Heart Foundation made public figures like 18% of men and over 21% of females having been found obese with close to 50% males and nearly 33% women in the overweight – all of whom could be helped tremendously with a simple pill containing Hoodia Gordonii fat-loss potential!

So, while these statistics speak for the Hoodia Gordonii drug’s marketing potential in very clear terms, the fact that top medical experts associated with leading drug manufacturing companies, e.g. Phytopharm’s Dr R. Dixey are also simplifying for the common masses just how exactly the P.57 (molecule in Hoodia Gordonii actually responsible for miracle fat loss) works is something the media is not letting go of either.

The good doctor reveals the hypothalamus in the mid-brain section is what contains nerve cells, whose job it is to sense glucose sugar and this is what the Hoodia Gordonii works on with that single molecule it has, which acts 10,000 times as actively as glucose received in the brain by eating food typically would. This is how Hoodia Gordonii helps give users the ‘full feeling’ and combat unhealthy eating habits, ensuring fast fat loss – safely and easily.

The medicinal uses of the Hoodia plant have been studied by various medical organizations around the world, especially in the US and the UK, which have been battling the menace of obesity related diseases for the last couple of decades. This is why when mention of Hoodia Gordonii, the sole variety of pure Hoodia plant of which there are nearly 2 dozen sub-species, comes up, everyone wanting to lose fat fast listens up!

The indigenous tribesmen of Southern Africa report the earliest known uses for the Hoodia Gordonii herb. These Bushmen used this flowering cactus-like plant, the Hoodia, for treating indigestion and minor infections. Rather fleshy and somewhat unsavoury to those unaccustomed to the desert stems and roots extracts contained in the original Hoodia Gordonii plant, the modern diet pills variety of the same is a convenient and non-messy way of suppress the appetite and stimulating natural fat burning processes in the body.

This fact has been revealed through various medical studies conducted on the Hoodia Gordonii plant from 1977 onwards by both the CSIR (South Africa’s federal science and research institute) and leading global pharmaceutical giants to whom the license for developing Hoodia Gordonii related supplements and drugs was later sold.

However, it was over 30 years ago that the CSIR managed to isolate a particular ingredient in their native Hoodia plant, which they called the P57 that actually produces the appetite-suppressant effects genuine Hoodia Gordonii supplements are enriched with. This molecule was patented in 1996 by the CSIR and then sold to the UK based company, Phytopharm, which, in turn, teamed up with Pfizer for further separating active ingredients from extracts of organically grown Hoodia Gordonii in order to take a deeper look at the possible processes of synthesis of this magic fat loss herb and then market it as a natural appetite suppressant.

As it so happened, Pfizer was pretty market-savvy and soon realized there were certain undesirable effects of succesfully isolating the primary appetite suppressant molecule in Hoodia Gordonii and thereafter, in 2002, the pharma giants released the rights for the same. This led the international scientific researchers groups every where to believe there may be little benefit in taking Hoodia Gordonii orally in the pill form, or else why would a company as big as Pfizer release rights on it after having spent multi-million dollars on various levels of medical study?

However, as the lead researcher at Pfizer, Jasjit Bindra, having studied the effects of synthesizing P57 in Hoodia Gordonii revealed to the media in the light of all this speculation that their initial clinical trials indicated certain unwanted effects on the liver caused by specific components in Hoodia, which were not easy to remove from supplement form and therefore the company was waiting for further research results on Hoodia that could earn the FDA’s approval as safer formulation before hitting the market with these.

In conclusion, it is hoped that with advancements in medical technology happening at a fast pace everyday of our lives, there is bound to be good news about natural weight loss no longer being ‘the impossible dream’ anymore if latest trials about use of advanced Hoodia Gordonii herbal supplements granting a decrease in dietary desires by 1000+ calories in lab test consumers is anything to go by.

Many a time, just knowing we can look the same as celebrities we adore is enough to get us to reach out for weight loss products, equipment and even diet pills they reveal they are using for shedding pounds and staying in shape. So when Hoodia Gordonii promises natural, easy and painless fat reduction, it is just as simple to get interested in it – especially when you hear of the Hollywood links with Hoodia Gordonii!

The first on our list of Hollywood hotties using Hoodia Gordonii for staying in shape is curvaceous Eva Longoria, star of the TV hit series, ‘Desperate Housewives,’ who emphatically states that Hoodia Gordonia offers her “a herbal remedy that actually suppresses the appetite.” The sexy Hollywood star known for her cameo performances in many hit movies besides the television series that shot her to instant fame and brought her figure in focus of international media swears by Hoodia Gordonii pills that she used for keeping in shape.

It is alleged that Eva Longoria also managed to convert many of the other cast members on the ‘Desperate Housewives’ filming set into regular users of Hoodia Gordonii diet pills, particularly the less potent 200mg versions of pure natural forms of South African Hoodia!

Also, other fat-loss dietary supplements used by Hollywood stars whose earning potential is dependant on how good they look, making fitness a necessity rather than a health choice, often come with unwanted side-effects like insomnia, nervousness and risk of heart disease, which pure Hoodia Gordonii is absolutely free from!

This makes Hoodia Gordonii the perfect choice for managing weight loss in a natural way minus serious health risks (except for diabetics, who are advised to consult their doctors for any possible interference of the active appetite suppressant in pure Hoodia with their other medication and effect on blood sugar levels).

Since the real Hoodia Gordonii works by making users feel less hungry, they consume less food and as a result cut back on their calorie intake by as much as a thousand calories. In fact, it was rumoured that luscious lips, Angelina Jolie, went 25 pounds lighter (gained as a result of her pregnancy) only thanks to Hoodia Gordonii in as less than 3 weeks of having given birth!

Male Hollywood stars too have given Hoodia Gordonii a thumbs up for its efficacy as a fast weight loss method. As Joe Gannascoli (Sopranos star playing the character of Vito) after going public with his weight loss secret revealed, “I eat the food I want, just not as much,” and continues to substantiate the most important quality of Hoodia Gordonii with the statement “Hoodia curbs my appetite and cuts my cravings.” Joe added, his wife, Dianna is also a Hoodia dieter.

That said, it comes as no surprise that there are other Hollywood stars using this easy and fast way to natural weight loss by including genuine Hoodia Gordonii extracts in their daily diet – and it’s no wonder that Hoodia is now increasingly referred to as the Latest Celebrity Diet!

To begin with, Hoodia gordonii is a variety of flowering plant and sub-species of the Hoodia plant of which there are more than twenty varieties, all of which are native to South Africa.

However, it has been exported to the US, UK and other international locations after permission from the South African government in the interest of medical research, which has proven results for faster fat burning by holding lab trials across different age groups and participants taking hoodia gordonii extracts showing their daily calorie intake was reduced by over a thousand in just 2 week!

First of all, it is important to know that among the many varieties of Hoodia, it is only the Hoodia Gordonii, which contains appetite suppressant qualities that help you in hunger management, and thus spurs your quick weight loss program.

If you too have been following the weight loss for life type of topics in your daily conversations at work and home, talk about Hoodia Gordonii is bound to have cropped up – as with so many celebrities hot for Hoodia Gordonii, there’s no missing its mention on TV, pod casts, Internet surfing and yes, the local health club too!

Moreover, since we all inhabit a world that is so taken up with appearances, when we see our favourite celebrities swearing by a product that is herbal, minus serious side effects, affordable and provides fast fat burning, like pure Hoodia Gordonii supplements have helped these sexy stars to do, it is near impossible to resist giving it one shot! Because, let’s face it, unless plastic surgery becomes more affordable (and less painful – not to mention safe with guaranteed results), there’s no way that ordinary people can look like their favourite stars. However, with safe, effective and affordable weigh loss alternatives to high intensity daily workouts and extreme dieting, like using genuine Hoodia Gordonii supplements for fast fat burning, there’s no stopping common people from getting the same shape as their favourite celebrity, now, is there?

So, when TV talk show diva, Oprah Winfrey speaks openly about her stunning new look and easy weight loss story, much of which she attributes to the use of pure Hoodia Gordonii to, it is indeed time to sit up and take notice of which other celebs have turned from fat to fit, thanks to this miracle weight loss herb. If rumours are to believed, Oprah plans to clinch a super-duper book deal revealing all about her fantastic fat loss story and also revealing the secret of Hoodia Gordonii in her diet and weight loss regime which she has managed to settle at a record price with the publishers – way over Prez Clinton’s book deal record of over $12 million!!

Of course, not all Hoodia Gordonii supplements have the same efficacy as it depends on the form of Hoodia being used, the purity and safety aspects (whether it is certified or not) and simply going by celebrity endorsements about Hoodia Gordonii may not be enough for the sceptics. But, its qualities of containing appetite suppression powers have certainly been scientifically tested and proven with top names in Hollywood not shying away from mentioning their shapely curves come from Hoodia Gordonni diet supplements.

Nicole Ritchie for example, was reportedly hooked on Hoodia Gordonni diet pills and her dropping over 5 sizes in less than 2 months has been attributed by a close pal to her daily use of pure Hoodia Gordonii supplements. Similarly, many of the cast members on the hit TV show, ‘Desperate Housewives,’ including Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher were exposed by VH1 channel as being regular users of natural Hoodia Gordonii for achieving their weight loss.

Thus, in a world largely swayed by celebrities and their endorsements, not to mention following trends in fashion and fitness as set by Hollywood stars and TV personalities, when these big names start using Hoodia Gordonii (a herbal weight loss cure), then it is but natural for the masses to also cheer for Hoodia!

In the last decade, the popularity of Hoodia Gordonii as an herbal weight loss method has been steadily growing. Such has been the conversion rates of weight watchers from other methods of natural fat reduction to sampling the Hoodia Gordonii diet bandwagon that the fact behind this fad caught the attention of the world’s leading news agency, the BBC besides media coverage by other international TV channels and print magazines.

While common consumers know that the usual method of consuming Hoodia Gordonii essentially involves taking either chewable tablets, powders, tea or liquid forms of the desiccated plant extracts, it is only after the BBC’s extensive reporting on its top correspondents having tried the Hoodia Gordonii diet and found it effective for suppressing their hunger pangs that the general public became interested in it, too!

But, the BBC’s recently having sent 2 of its correspondents to the Kalahari was more to find out the facts about this ‘miracle fat loss herb’ as a safe method for natural weight loss and an attempt to cut through the hype surrounding Hoodia Gordonii, more than an expose story. Besides, the BBC has a reputation for authentic news coverage, which makes their update on Hoodia Gordonii’s fat-reduction qualities all the more believable for viewers everywhere. This is why only the diabetes are advised by Hoodia Gordonii marketers to consult medical practitioners for any potential risks if included in their weight management programs if taking other medicines with respect to effect on insulin levels.

The BBC correspondents who visited the Kalahari bushmen in a quest to figure out the authenticity of the Hoodia diet, included Tom Mangold and a colleague who first updated the world about this South African tribe having eaten the Hoodia Gordonii plant since hundreds of years for fighting food and thirst.

The BBC reporter also added that though Hoodia Gordonii has created such a wave in the fitness-crazy modern world, it is yet to make the bushmen of the Kalahari millionaires, though the virtues of the wonder weight-loss herb have made many dealers and pharmaceutical companies in the US and UK richer by billions as staying in shape is now an achievable dream, thanks to pure Hoodia Gordonii products available so easily today.

Of course, the BBC reporter wasn’t very impressed with the rather ‘ugly cactus-like plant’ that is the Hoodia; neither was he too thrilled over the extremely hot weather he needed to visit in, but that’s just what it takes to make the Hoodia Gordonii plant thrive and mature. However, he was quick to admit that his cameraman and lawyer who accompanied him all sampled the Hoodia Gordonii and found that the fleshy plant was ‘slightly unpleasant’ but kept them feeling full with a ‘feel-good’ property, much like an aphrodisiac offers.

So, those of you who are keen on fighting extra flab and also getting the high of an aphrodisiac, the choice of going on the natural and safe Hoodia Gordonii diet is an open one – much like the BBC team did! You can find out for yourselves whether Hoodia Gordonii is, like they say, ‘a magnificent deception’ or truly a miracle fat loss cure.

Hoodia Gordonii 30 pills

Many people have been using Hoodia for a number of years now. First discovered in South Africa, where huntsmen were using it to suppress their appetites on long treks, the plant quickly became a sensation. It is now used by millions people, and the effect of the plant extract, namely as an appetite suppressant, is legendary. However, what are the side effects?

Many dieters want to know the answer to this question. They use it because it suppresses their appetite and it seemingly has no side effects, in the main. However, one side effect is that it can actually suppress the thirst reflex, which can result in the unusual situation whereby users actually have to remember to drink water, because their brain keeps telling them that they are not thirsty.

Other succulents like aloe are used in many products around the world, mainly shampoo, and these are considered to be safe. It is understandable that dieters are cautious. However, the amount of research into the side effects of Hoodia is not entirely extensive yet. It will be soon, as the extract goes from strength to strength.

One thing can be said with absolute certainty. Hoodia is not a stimulant, and therefore does not hold the side effects that stimulants do. Many appetite suppressants are stimulants, and the side effects of these can be quite dangerous, especially if taken to excess. Herat rate and blood pressure can be increased, putting the user in considerable danger. Some diet pills that are stimulants are actually used by people in a recreational sense, and as part of the youth drug culture. Hoodia Gordonii is not in this sector. It is not a stimulant, and thus does not carry any of the dangers associated with stimulants.

A company called PhytoPharm are well placed to answer any questions regarding the safety of Hoodia overall. They were the first company to really get to grips with the plant and its extract. They organised the first clinical trials on it. Their statements are very reassuring when it comes to the safety of Hoodia. They State that ‘the safety data are consistent with an overall safety profile’. This means that, in the eyes of the company who unleashed Hoodia on the world, it is safe.

In any case, most dieters would never need to use Hoodia on a long-term basis, so if there were ever any potentials side effects that were negative or unwanted, there would not be enough time for them to take hold on the users. Dieting is something that is best done with medical advice, as well as regular physical exercise. It would be alarming to see someone using Hoodia for a long time, and without a proper dieting plan.

It is widely understood that Hoodia tablets are not magic pills. They can only help to suppress the appetite. What they will not do is make you lose weight simply by virtue of them being there. Used in conjunction or as part of a planned diet, they can work wonders, and help overall.

Most dieters know that they have to watch what they eat as well as exercise. This is why it is so important to maintain this approach even when using pills that are there to reduce the appetite. Hoodia has no recognisable side effects; however a doctor would not recommend that the tablets are used in place of a good diet and regular exercise. This is why it is important that the users of Hoodia consult with their physician before starting a course of Hoodia, and agree a review period.

There are no recognisable side effects to using Hoodia. However, the tablets must be used as part of an agreed plan, a plan agreed with a doctor.

Hoodia Gordonii 30 pills

Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus like plant that grows mostly in South Africa and Namibia. It is not the most attractive of plants, but it does have a huge reputation in the field of modern medicine, particularly in the area of diet suppressants, in which area it is generally believed to be very effective.

In the last few years Hoodia has been the subject of what one could only call heavy marketing. This marketing has been based entirely on the area of weight loss and has been incredibly successful, with many people taking up the drug to combat issues such as simple weight loss. Other people have decided to use the drug to take action against obesity, whereby the sufferer is dangerously overweight. In both situations the drug has proved highly effective.

There has always been an exceptionally huge demand for diet pills. After certain diet pills were banned, Hoodia grew in popularity. It is now very common to see marketing campaigns for the drug, offering a complete dieting solution.

The indigenous South African tribesmen were said to use the plant to help them deal with the effects of long term hunger. They would often have to trek for miles across the Kalahari desert, and cutting off the stems of the plant and eating these would allow their appetite to be suppressed, therefore enabling them to last a lot longer on their treks without eating. While the Hoodia plant is often called a cactus plant due to its appearance, it is actually a succulent plant.

There are actually over 13 types of Hoodia. The only active ingredient present in all of these types is an agent commonly referred to as P57. This is the agent that is used for suppressing hunger.

Back in 1937, a Dutchman witnessed some indigenous South Africans using the Hoodia plant to suppress their appetite. This is where the story of the plant begins. Tests were done in South African labs on animals, the reports that came out of the tests confirmed what the scientists believed to be true, that one can lose weight if one takes Hoodia.

P57 is a steroidal Glycoside. A British firm called Phytopharm gained the rights to use P57, and quickly spent millions on researching it. Pfizer were involved at one stage in developing the drug further.

The excitement that surrounds Hoodia really began to take off due to a Sixty Minutes documentary, which had correspondents travelling to Africa to find the Hoodia plant. The correspondent who hosted the feature tasted the plant, and stated on television that she lost the need to eat or drink for the entire day. Thus the popularity of the drug was born.

One of the first major studies on Hoodia was centred on the research done with the drug and rats. Rats that were treated with the drug in laboratories were treated by injection. There was a placebo group that were injected with a fake drug. The rats that were injected with Hoodia actually showed signs of having a suppressed appetite, therefore adding weight tot the theory that the drug worked in this way.

Phytopharm carried out some studies on humans. Eighteen volunteers were subjected to a test of the drug. Appetite was suppressed in these subjects to the extent that 1000 calories less a day were consumed by those who had taken Hoodia Gordonii, as opposed to the placebo group, who had not.

There are some concerns that, at the moment, it is not always possible to be absolutely certain tat what you are buying is pure Hoodia. This is due to the emergence of some less than reputable companies in recent years, which claim to be selling the drug but are instead selling something quite different. There are ways to tell whether or not you are buying the real drug, and these will be covered in a later article.
Hoodia Gordonii has rightfully taken its place as the world’s major diet suppressant. It is used by millions around the world to combat weight gain, and has therefore changed countless numbers of lives. It has become a blockbuster drug.

Hoodia Gordonii 30 pills

Hoodia Gordonii, or ‘Hoodia’, is an immensely popular diet product that one can buy either online or in health food shops. Herbal based, it is generally viewed as one of the major appetite suppressants available on the market today. First used by indigenous South African tribesmen who appreciated the properties of the drug, because it helped them suppress hunger on long hunting treks, it has now become one of the blockbuster diet products.

However, due to its success, Hoodia has also become a drug that has been ‘faked’. The growing concern is that many vendors, whether online or in the high street, are not selling Hoodia, but are instead offering a product that is at best useless and at worst damaging to the consumer.

If you actually search online for Hoodia in the form of a tablet, you will find literally hundreds of sites that offer the drug, while at the same time stating that you should not buy from their competitors, who are offering fake Hoodia. The market has thus become quite saturated with companies who are offering counterfeit products, which undermines the good work done by those companies that offer Hoodia legitimately.

It is generally believed that a possible 80% of the Hoodia that is available on the market today is not real, but is instead a fake version of the drug. The reason why there is counterfeit Hoodia on the market is due to the fact that Hoodia is actually very difficult to grow. Remember that it grows on a desert area. The plant itself can take four to five years to grow to the point where it can be used din the drug. Makers of the drug and sellers of the drug are therefore in a market where the product is not always readily available. Therefore, fake Hoodia prevails.

The Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) have made it so that trading in Hoodia is difficult too. There are strict controls on Hoodia, and there have been such controls in place since 2004. These controls mean that one cannot trade in Hoodia unless one has a certificate. However, it is suspected that some unscrupulous traders trade with fake certificates.

One other problem associated with Hoodia is that is generally agreed to be very difficult indeed to clarify whether a Hoodia product actually contains the ingredients found in the herb.

There are ways to know that what you are buying is legitimate. Essentially, Hoodia contains p57. This is the bottom line, and if what you are taking contains this vital ingredient, you are taking Hoodia. The p57 agent is proven to work against the appetite.

When one bears in mind that there are no real medical problems associated with use of the plant and its extracts among the original users, one can see that the drug is actually every safe.

The indigenous South African people used the drug on a regular basis many years ago, and continue to do so today. There have been no ill health events reported, and users of the plant generally agree that it does a very good job of suppressing their appetite.

Hoodia is of course recommended to be used alongside medical advice. Anyone who does not consult with a doctor when taking on a new diet plan is running the risk of damaging their bodies anyway. Using Hoodia is only recommended when you have consulted with your physician, because they know your dietary requirements and your history. There is absolutely no substitute for good diet and good exercise combined, and Hoodia has a place in this scheme, but consult with your doctor, and see what he or she has to say.
The first thing to do when considering buying a Hoodia product is to look for the CITES documentation that should come along with the product. If this is present, whether in virtual form or in the packaging, you have a genuine product. Also bear in mind that real Hoodia Gordonii looks like a fine brown powder when it is presented as a medicine. This of course does not resemble the original plant in any way. Again, use the product wisely, and if you are in any doubt about any aspect of your Hoodia experience, consult your doctor.

Hoodia Gordonii 30 pills

more info…

Hoodia Gordonii is a plant that grows in South Africa and Namibia. The flowers of the plant are hardly attractive, and are generally described as smelling like rotten meat. However, the plant has gained quite a reputation in medicine today, and is very popular with a number of client groups and consumers.

The indigenous peoples of South Africa have long used the Hoodia plant for a number of purposes. Indigestion was one of the most common ailments treated by Hoodia Gordonii. The indigenous South Africans used the plant to treat this in rather a successful way. Indigestion is characterised by sharp and recurrent pain in the upper abdomen, and if not treated quickly, can lead to further complications that are quite dangerous. Indigestion can be accompanied by bloating and heartburn. As people get older (over 55), if they suffer from indigestion they are often referred to doctors due to the fact that prolonged indigestion can sometimes become something more serious, in some cases being the first sign of cancer.

Other infections were treated by the South Africans by using the Hoodia plant. However, the biggest and most well known purpose for the plant being used is that of an appetite suppressant.

The Kalahari Desert is a large, arid desert area in the South Eastern area of Africa. Incredibly dangerous to spend too long in, and with some unforgiving temperatures and generally parched conditions, the desert plays a huge part in the history of the Hoodia plant.

The indigenous South African people used the Hoodia plant to help suppress their appetite when making their way across the desert on a long trek. The name Kalahari comes from a phrase that means great thirst and this is a very apt description. A vast area of the place is covered by red sand, without any permanent water source for miles. The people of South Africa would regularly use the plant to fight off hunger pangs.

This effect, of course, had great potential in modern medicine. The South African Institute for Scientific and Industrial research investigated the elements within Hoodia Gordonii that helped to suppress the human appetite and decided to patent it. The patent for the one agent, P57, that helped to cut down on hunger pangs, was raised in 1996. With this patent in place, they then had the ability to allow other companies to use the agent in their own products. This meant that the agent from Hoodia could now be used as an appetite suppressant in products made by companies around the world.

Appetite suppressants simply cause the user to eat less. This means that they can be used in dieting plans and regimes, and for other medical reasons. In the clinical arena, appetite suppressants have been used in the short term to help with tackling obesity. This means that sufferer who have issues regarding their weight and their actual physical safety have used such suppressants to combat the problem.

One unfortunate problem associated with the use of appetite suppressant is that they carry effects that are very similar to those exited by amphetamines. This means that some users have used them for these effects.

The UK based firm Phytopharm has a licence to offer the drug, and they set up business with Pfizer to develop and market it as an appetite suppressant.

Pfizer is the world’s biggest pharmaceutical company. They are responsible for some of the world’s biggest drugs.
