What Brand Of Hoodia Gordonii Should You Buy?

In South Africa, there’s a cactus like plant that grows in the Kalahari desert with some unique qualities.  Hoodia Gordonii is the name of this cactus like plant.

The Hoodia Gordonii plant does have prickly spines and flowers, and is considered to to be ‘juicy’, very much like cactus, but this plant is not part of the cactus family.  Still, it’s often referred to as the ‘hoodia cactus plant’.

A lot of buzz has been generated about the hoodia plant since it was discovered in 2004. This has been about how hoodia can be an aid in weight loss. This has even been worldwide. It was discovered that the San tribe has made use of the hoodia plant for hundreds of years. It is used by them for long journeys through the desert to stop the feelings of hunger and thirst. Their claim is that the hoodia plant does this.

Since this discovery, as might be expected, Hoodia Gordonii has become available from many venues.  It can be found in health food stores, in different forms.  It’s available as capsules and tablets, and as a liquid and a powder.  For anyone wanting to try the hoodia gordonii diet pills, it can be purchased easily.  If not available in local health food stores, one can buy hoodia over the internet.

Naturally, with any newly discovered diet aid, there are always questions about its’ effectiveness. The effectiveness of the hoodia gordonii plant (being used in diet pills) as a weight loss aid was once tested by a reporter. She traveled to South Africa for the sole purpose of using the hoodia plant, just like the Bushmen do, to verify the effectiveness of the hoodia plant. First hand, ‘hands on’, experience is what she was after. She did try the hoodia plant while there, and reported that it tasted a lot like a cucumber, and wasn’t bad at all.

Her report was that her experience was just like the Bushmen have claimed for years. There were no cravings for water or food for the entire day. Her report also stated that she had no ill personal effects from eating the hoodia gordonii plant.

Tests have also been conducted in the UK using two groups of volunteers. One group was the control group, and they took a placebo. The other group took the hoodia gordonii pills. These volunteers could only watch TV, eat, and read. The group that took the hoodia pills ate less, and they lost weight. They reportedly had less of an appetite, resulting in their eating less. And, it was reported that they thought less about food than normal. The study attributed this to the hoodia pills.

Based on these items, is it not logical to say that Hoodia Gordonii is an appetite suppressant?

How does hoodia gordonii help as an aid to weight loss?

What normally happens when you eat is that the food is turned into glucose.  This causes the glucose level to rise, and that’s the signal to the brain that you’ve had enough to eat. Hoodia Gordonii contains something referred to as the ‘P57 molecule’.  It’s reported that this p57 molecule is as much as 10,000 times stronger than glucose in producing this signal to the brain. This is what causes you to eat less when taking hoodia.

In addition to this particular benefit, there are many reports that those taking the hoodia gordonii diet pill lose the ‘nagging’ desire to eat. There are those of us who may experience a feeling of fullness, but we eat anyway. For any number of reasons. Some because of emotional reasons, societal influence, or just being around food in certain situations. There are report indicating that some people eat because of emotional reasons, rather than eating more from actual, physical hunger.

By removing the craving for food, it can be seen that hoodia pills help an individual ‘break’ the emotional attachment to eating. Most report that their desire to eat is lessened after taking hoodia gornonii.

By eating less and less often, better (healthier) food choices can be made.  By having less of an appetite, then weight loss becomes easier from eating less unhealthy food, and more healthy food. It becomes easier to make healthier food choices. When the time is right to no longer take the hoodia pill, making better food choices helps to maintain weight loss and not feel deprived.

Here are a few things to be kept in mind when you buy Hoodia:
   
 - There are around twenty species of the hoodia family. Make sure the product label states ‘Hoodia Gordonii”, to assure you’re buying true Hoodia.

 - Don’t buy hoodia with buffers, fillers, ephedra, or any other ‘foul stuff’.

- Don’t buy Hoodia not grown in South Africa. It’s reported to be of inferior quality.

- Look for a C.I.T.E.S. certificate. This document is the proof that what you’re buying is authentic Hoodia Gordonii. This is issued only to those who purchase Hoodia from the South Aftican hoodia farms that are known and recognized.

- Look for a Certificate of Analysis. This certifies that you’re buying 100% pure hoodia.
   
If you keep these suggestionsin mind when you buy hoodia, you can be confident that you’re buying the highest quality Hoodia Gordonii.
