Hoodia For A Weight Loss Program

By Jason Carlson

Many of you have probably heard about the product called Hoodia gordonii. This product has been used extensively in South Africa by bushmen to help ward off hunger during hunting trips. Hoodia has bee used for many years by south african bushmen to stave off the effects of hunger. Recently a 60 minutes special gave mass exposure to hoodia as a diet supplement and found it to be very effective without any side effects.

For years drug companies have tried to isolate the compound in hoodia that is responsible for its strong appetite suppression. Recently they have done so in an attempt to synthesis and market this compound as a drug, but they have been unable to produce it in mass quantities.

Pharmaceutical companies have tried to reengineer the Hoodia compound synthetically but they have not been successful to date. Until a new option is available, the only real Hoodia available is the variety that you get from South Africa.

Hoodia has yet to undergo a double blind study to determine its effectiveness as a weight loss supplement, but reports from users paint a positive picture. There are no reported side effects from hoodia and it can really keep a dieter from getting hungry.

While more tests are being done, reports of people using Hoodia for weight loss has been very positive. Again, there are no reported side effects and what Hoodia really does is work to curb a person's appetite.

The supplements combined with hoodia are very powerful for weight loss, but hoodia even by itself is very powerful as an appetite suppressant. If you are interested in using Hoodia, it is the recommended to seek out the pure form.

When you take hoodia it is still important to eat a sensible diet and exercise regularly. Exercising at least 30 minutes per day is very important. If you are serious about weight loss, try to exercise daily and add hoodia diet pills to your diet regimen.

When taking this South African product for weight loss, make sure you follow dosage exactly. Although there is currently no known overdose you still want to stay with recommended dosage. It is also very important to speak to your doctor before starting any kind of diet program. They can recommend and make sure that anything that you try buffets for your lifestyle and health conditions. - 16004
