Hoodia Herb


The all natural Hoodia Herb is actually a succulent plant which grows in the Kahalari Desert in Southern Africa and looks like a cactus. Although it belongs in the cacti family, it is not a true cactus. The Hoodia plant grows in spiny finger like clusters to about 18" to 24" tall and have blooms that have a foul odor. The stem of the plant contains molecules scientists have named P57. The P57 suppresses the appetite and signals the mid part of the brain into thinking the body is full. Because of this, less food is ingested and when less calories are taken into the body, the body burns some of its excess fat and the subject loses weight. By taking large quantities pure 100% all natural Hoodia Gordonii before each meal the stomach will not get the message from the brain that it is hungry because the P%& goes into the blood stream and when it reaches the brain, it sends out signals that you are full. When this happens, the subject will eat less . If this is done on a continued basis every day, the excess weight will come off. There will be no hunger pangs or other side effects.

Pure Hoodia Gordonii is grown commercially only in Southern Africa and is a controlled market not unlike the diamond market. There is many fake products claiming to be Hoodia but are not. One of the ingredients some are using is from a common cactus called Opuntia or Chinese 20:1 extract. Although they claim it is Hoodia, it is NOT real Hoodia, and it is not from Africa. Make sure you get the true Hoodia products from Africa or they may not work the way Hoodia does. The true Hoodia Gordonii from Southern Africa is the only Hoodia that has been scientifically and privately tested and proven to suppress the appetite and aid in weight loss. The legitimate companies selling pure 100% all natural Hoodia Gordonii will answer questions and provide proof of authenticity. Most if not all of them also a offer full 100% money back guarantee with your order.

The Hoodia plant is now being grown on large plantations in Southern Africa to ensure future supplies to keep up with the demand. There are also plants being grown in China, Texas (USA) and other countries but no scientific testing results are known at this time if any of it has been tested. It may still be in the growing stages since it takes 5 to 7 years to fully mature. There is no way of knowing until it is tested whether it will have the same molecules and power as the Hoodia from Africa. Since the desert is its natural habitat, who knows how the change in the environment will change the makeup of the P57 or whether it will be helpful at all. Guess time and study will tell.
