Hoodia Gordonii – The Health Benefits

Anthony J. Carter asked:


There are some cultures native to the northern regions of Namibia that even now, still use the sap of hoodia to treat a range of allergenic eye problems, as well as treating stomach aches by boiling the hoodia chunks in water and then drinking the ensuing brew. Certain people in the northern areas of Botswana still give their children, who may have a propensity to eat too much, pieces of hoodia to try and make them eat less food by suppressing their appetites. For years, some overweight members of various communities in the north west of South Africa were consuming hoodia as a ‘diet’ aid as it was recognized even in years past that it contained definite appetite suppression qualities.

In bygone days, people ate hoodia so it could help maintain a healthy body, while today overweight or obese people do so in an attempt to slim down. Hoodia succulent plants contain molecules that are estimated to be 100,000 times more powerful than glucose in conveying signals to the brain signifying that the body is full or in other words -not hungry.

In experimental tests on rats it was established that after giving hoodia to them, they ceased eating. Later, in trials on people, two groups were given the same type of diet and put into isolation with nothing to do but read, eat, sit or watch television. The first group was provided with hoodia and the second a placebo. It was discovered that the group taking the hoodia consumed an average of 1000 calories per day less than the placebo taking group. The clinical trials discovered that the extract of hoodia given to the overweight people in fact reduced calorie intake by 40%-50%.

Other supposed benefits of hoodia gordonii as a supplement are as follows:

*it is said to help in suppressing cravings for habit-forming substances such as caffeine, sugar, alcohol or nicotine.

*helps return the stomach to its regular size, thus making it simpler to manage the amount of food eaten.

*helps improve mental clearness by flushing away preservatives, food additives and toxins.

*helps suppress appetite so you can lose weight.

*helps cleanse the digestive tract of bacteria and waste that has accumulated over time.

*may help purify major organs.

*helps in the reduction of cellulite, acne, allergies and obesity both safely and naturally.

Hoodia Gordonii – Side Effects Versus Benefits

Terrie Davis asked:


Since the media articles featured on the BBC and 60 Minutes, Hoodia diet supplements have become the latest craze in the battle to shed pounds. But buyers beware – there are sharks in the waters!

The benefits of the Hoodia cactus are quite well known. Hoodia has been used by the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa for hundreds of years to suppress their appetite during long hunting journeys. Since the Western world discovered Hoodia there have been many stories of people that have used Hoodia to lose weight successfully, including myself. You can read my 7 day case study documenting my first 7 days of using one of the leading Hoodia supplements Hoodia Gordonii Plus.

Hoodia helps you to eat less without feeling the hunger pains and discomfort that causes you to snack. Your body can learn to eat only the food it needs without craving the extra food that causes you to put on weight. It is a fantastic way to begin your diet and get into the habit of eating smaller and lighter meals.

Unlike other weight loss pills, Hoodia has no reported side effects from clinical trials and will not cause your heart to race, make you sweat or cause you to feel exhausted like many other weight loss medications. While clinical studies have only examined the effects of Hoodia in the short term (until a few years ago it remained undiscovered), the Bushmen of South Africa have been using it successfully for hundreds of years.

Hoodia is a natural mood enhancer and the Hoodia Gordonii Plus supplement also comes with an energy booster to further assist you not to feel the reduced energy effects of eating less.

Hoodia pills are simply a powdered form of the Hoodia cactus, a food that has the added benefit of reducing your hunger significantly. There are many different forms of Hoodia available including tablets, capsules, patches, liquid hoodia and even teas and coffee products containing Hoodia.

Hoodia may be relatively new on the market but after considering safety and benefits, I chose to try it and like the hundreds of testimonials you read I could not be more pleased with the results.
