The TRUTH About HOODIA SIDE EFFECTS
You have probably seen Hoodia Gordonii advertised on the Internet. You have probably seen wild claims like these:
- Hoodia is the safest, most effective and powerful appetite suppressant in history
- Hoodia is an organic pill that kills the appetite and attacks obesity
- Hoodia has no known side effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full.
The Truth about Hoodia
We have studied many reports, shopped at numerous online stores that sell hoodia and we have tried the products ourselves. This is what we have found out.
- Deep inside the African Kalahari desert grows an ugly cactus called the Hoodia. It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature.
- The San Bushmen of the Kalahari have been eating hoodia for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.
- South African scientists discovered hoodia contains a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P-57.
- The license for P 57 was sold to a Cambridgeshire bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, who in turn sold the rights to P57 development and marketing rights to the giant Pfizer Corporation.
- Phytopharm's Dr Richard Dixey explains how P.57 actually works: "There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full. What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to."
- Phytopharm's Dr Richard Dixey organised the first animal trials for Hoodia. Rats, a species that will eat literally anything, stopped eating completely.
- When the first human clinical trial was conducted, a morbidly obese group of people were placed in a "phase 1 unit", a place as close to prison as it gets. All the volunteers could do all day was read papers, watch television, and eat. Half were given Hoodia, half placebo. Fifteen days later, the Hoodia group had reduced their calorie intake by 1000 a day. Given the average daily diet is around 2200 calories; the trial was a stunning success.
- A synthetic prescription Hoodia drug from Phytopharm will not be around for several years due to clinical trials.
- While many people feel the appetite suppressant kicking in sometimes within 20 minutes of ingestion, it is felt that the general population responds to hoodia within 1 – 2 weeks of starting the program.
- Some morbidly obese people (more than double their normal weight), who describe themselves as eating machines since childhood, say that although they felt the appetite suppressant kicking in after 2 – 3 weeks, it took a few weeks before they realized their interest in food was significantly decreasing, thereby helping to change life long eating habits.

Purchasing Hoodia
I recently purchased and used several of the top selling Hoodia products... and was surprised by what I learned.
First, there really is pure hoodia for sale on the Internet. The drug companies would like you to believe that it is unavailable, or that what is available does not contain hoodia. However the quality and price of the hoodia varies on each website.
Second, hoodia is available today at reasonable prices. Some vendors are charging exorbitant prices for their hoodia capsules, hoodia teas, and other products made form hoodia but there are reputable companies on the Internet selling for reasonable prices.
Third, you can make a purchase on the Internet and expect to get your hoodia within 2 weeks as promised on some of the sites. However there are sites, which we are still waiting for our orders to arrive.
So after researching and ordering from numerous hoodia suppliers we are able to give you our #1 pick.
