Karin I Manning asked:


The pure Hoodia liquid extract has put the Sth African Kalahari desert on the map. Many people have heard about the Hoodia liquid extract and are claiming miraculous weight loss results with it. This article is a simple guide to understanding how the pure Hoodia Gordonii liquid extract works.

The natural Hoodia Extract and its source has been widely publicized all over the world including The Today Show, CBS, Sixty Minutes and the BBC. As a result of this publicity a number of Hoodia Gordonii products have come on the market claiming to give its users substantial weight loss results.

The History of the Pure Hoodia Gordonii Liquid Extract

The appetite suppressing properties of the Hoodia plant have been understand an utilized by the bushmen of the Kalahari desert for centuries. In the 90s the Council For Scientific & Industrial Research (The CSIR) undertook a comprehensive study of many native plants which were regularly eaten by the “Sans Bushmen”. One of these native plants in the study was the Hoodia Gordonii plant and its potent extract. What the CSIR concluded in its study was not only was the Hoodia Gordonii plant and its extract completely non-toxic but it also aided substantially in weight loss by suppressing appetite and increasing fat burning capabilities.

The Patent Of The Hoodia Cactus Extract

As a result of its comprehensive study the CSIR was able to isolate the active ingredient found in the Hoodia Gordonii plant known as “P57″ and then sold the rights to “P57″ to an English pharmaceutical firm – Phytopharm. Phytopharm is the only legal entity able to extract the active molecule found in the Hoodia plant known as “P57″ and use it in any Hoodia product that it releases. However, the Hoodia Gordonii plant itself can never be patented and as a result of this other manufacturers are able to also product Hoodia weight loss products and supplements from the Hoodia Gordonii cactus plant and legally sell thing.

With such a range of Hoodia weight loss products on the market including potent pure Hoodia liquid extracts, it is absolutely critical that consumers don’t fall for cheap, ineffective Hoodia imitations and that they ensure that they only purchase PURE South African cactus Hoodia Gordonii products for maximum weight loss results.

Yahoo posted an informative video clip on the drug Hoodia and I was wondering if anyone out there has tried it. Its so hard to believe any weightloss hype these days. The drug is supposed to curb appetite but green tea and some other diet pills claim the same thing.

Just what is Hoodia gordonii anyway?

Years of research also revealed that the compound P57 is the one responsible for Hoodia’s appetite-suppressing properties. It’s also a good thing that Hoodia does not contain stimulants so those using Slim Form Hoodia SP need not worry about the jitters associated with weight loss products in the past. In the wild, it takes about five to six years before Hoodia completely matures. Since it’s become more commercialized however, developments in cultivating practices have been introduced, cutting maturity time down to two years.

Is it for you?

It’s definitely worth trying the Slim Form Hoodia SP if you’re looking to lose weight, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been at it for a while, since it provides great help in cutting back on the calories.

When the body runs out of newly consumed calories to use, it then turns to the fat stores. As such, when you consume less calories, you increase your chances of losing weight. You don’t even have to do much physical activity to lose weight! However, increasing physical activity leads to better results.
