Healthy Weight Loss Supplements
There are several all natural healthy weight loss supplements that do not have any known side effects. One of these is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia comes from the succulent cactus like herb found in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. Hoodia diet products are among the top weight loss products on the market today. There are no known side effects and it and pure Hoodia that contains P57 has been tested and proven to help people lose weight. It was tested in both rats and humans and in every case study, on the humans, the subjects lost an average of 10 pounds in a little over two weeks with no side effects and some even reported an increase in energy while taking the Hoodia. The Hoodia plant has been used by the SANS tribesmen in the Kalahari Desert for over 25,000 years. They would eat the stems of the plant while on long hunting trips into the desert as a food supplement because food and water were scarce in the desert. The hoodia would suppress their appetite by making them feel full and also quinch their thirst so they could go for days without food and water. The Hoodia plant is now controlled by the African Government to keep it from becoming an endangered species. There are large farms in South Africa which are now growing Hoodia so there will be enough to meet the demand without disturbing the hoodia in its natural habitat. It takes about five years for a Hoodia Plant to mature so it can be used as a weight loss product. The SANS tribes also used Hoodia for medicinal purposes but there has not been enough scientific study to show that it has any medicinal useses.
Another well known weight loss product which is at the top of the list is Herbal Phentermine. It contains Green Tea, Alpha Lipoic Acid, L-Carnitine, and other all natural herbs. There are no known side effects and no prescriptions or doctor visits are necessary. However if you have health problems or are taking medications you might want to check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to take any supplement with your other medications. Some supplements do not mix safely with certain medications and might cause more harm if you have certain health issues. If you ever have any side effects from any supplement you should report it to your doctor and if it is serious, seek emergency medical care immediately. You can also report any side effects with the local health department and also contact the Food and Drug Administration Consumer Hotline.
