What is Hoodia

One of the biggest discoveries in recent years to help people control their weight is the Hoodia plant; the discovery of the Hoodia plant has given real hope to many. It didn't take long for manufacturers to 'jump on the bandwagon' and start incorporating Hoodia in a multitude of weight loss products; the slimming market is large and so the potential market for it's use is enormous. However, the origins of this plant are still a mystery to most people, even to many who use it.

Hoodia Gordonii is a particular variety of plant which suppresses the appetite. It is only this type of Hoodia cactus that appears to possess this quality, despite there being twelve other varieties of the plant that can be found in the remote regions of South Africa. In fact, this cactus is so good at reducing the appetite that it is considered, by medical science, as the most effective appetite inhibitor on the planet. This is probably why it is in great demand.

Before being released for general use it was tested on people just to see how effective it was and whether there would be any side-effects. One particular experiment included a team of people from the BBC who were only given a single Hoodia leaf to eat. The entire team wanted nothing else to eat or drink for the rest of the day.

Hoodia weight loss products are all the more effective given the fact that they are completely free from side-effects. There are no unpleasant digestive problems or heart rhythm disturbances that often happen with other appetite inhibitors. Another benefit of using products containing extracts of this plant, is that users claim they do not feel tired even though they are not eating, as it provides a normal energy levels for the entire day.

However, when administered, you should still administer proper hydration and healthy eating habits. For people with unnaturally large appetites that are prone to putting on weight then the Hoodia weight loss pill is a safe way to control the desire to eat; however, just because a person doesn't feel hungry, they still need to eat, otherwise their health will suffer. Large numbers of people are now seeing the health and other benefits of using Hoodia extracts.

An important point to make is that weight control products containing real extracts of this plant are expensive because the cactus is not common. You may think you are lucky when you find an internet site selling Hoodia weight loss products with genuine extracts at low prices. The chances are, these will not contain any of the plant at all, or at best, they will contain low doses that will be ineffectual. Buying cheap Hoodia extracts is not only false economy as you cannot produce this product cheaply, but you do not actually know what is being used as the substitute.
