subject: Hoodia Diet Pills Keep Obesity Away [print this page] Hoodia gordonii, which looks like cactus, helps in suppressing the appetite of a person. This is how it reduces the body weight. You can buy them in different forms like pills, liquids and even in form of tea. Grown in the bunches of green stems and often in the African semi-desert area, Hoodia cactus takes around five years or more before it can actually be harvested.
You will find different types of Hoodia, but only this gordonii acts as an appetite suppressant.Though hoodia is a new introduction to the modern world, it has been evident from several records that the San Bushmen of Kalahari Desert has been using this for a long time. In spite of having very few researches on this supplement the Brown University has discovered that it generates energy and fools the brain in thinking that the stomach is full. It reduces weight in this method.
However, all the information about hoodia available on the internet is not absolutely correct. The current internet market is flooded with sellers trying to sell authentic hoodia. As a result of this congestion, many fake players have added sawdust and roots of plants into the mix of hoodia. Often companies try to impress the customers by claiming that their hoodia is the best than the other products. Remember this is not true as there is no such report published on the effectiveness of different types of hoodia.
They work well but can definitely make a hole in your pocket. They are costly because they take a long period of time for harvesting. They are only available in the African desert region and all these factors have added to the overall cost of this diet pill.
You will find the prescribed dosage on most of the packages. Most of the companies selling it follow a similar format of dose. On an average, 1,200 mgs of hoodia is required per day. But it would be advisable to consult a doctor in order to know the accurate dose of hoodia. Factors like body weight, lifestyle, diet etc. should be considered before one is prescribed hoodia.
Sounds to good to be true? As always in live it is. When Unilever the big drug company planed to buy the patent on hoodia they analyzed many of the brands available on the market and found that only a few contained the plant in the apropiate form. Most of the brands either had too less plant to make it work or no hoodia at all!
