Hoodia gordonii is the latest in a long line of weight loss panaceas that have been foisted upon the general public by dietary supplement hucksters. And just like all of hoodia's forerunners, there really isn't much scientific evidence to support the use of hoodia as a weight loss supplement.
Hoodia comes from cactus found in South Africa and Namibia. The parts of the cactus that contain the hoodia are ground down into powder which is in turn manufactured into whatever form the supplement manufacturers deem necessary.
There are two major problems with hoodia.
The first problem is that there is no independent research to verify the claims that hoodia can aid in weight loss or act as an appetite suppressant. The "research" touted on the Internet is nothing of the legitimate kind, as most of these hoodia sites are nothing more than advertisements that have been set up by supplement marketers.
Another telling sign that hoodia doesn't work is that pharmaceutical giant Pfizer started development of a hoodia based drug, but has since turned over the development rights to another company. If hoodia showed any promise, it's doubtful that Pfizer would have abandoned their project and given the opportunity to another pharmaceutical company.
The other major problem with hoodia is that even if hoodia did work as advertised, there is no guarantee that there is actual hoodia in the hoodia supplements. There have been stories that up to two-thirds of all the hoodia supplements sold in the United States are counterfeit. An independent lab analysis of seventeen different hoodia products found that only six of these products actually contained any hoodia.
Spending your money on any weight loss supplement is a bad idea, but spending on hoodia is the worst "investment" that anyone can make.
Just exercise!!!!

yeah.
The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, have been eating the Hoodia plant for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips. When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P57. This molecule fools your brain into believing you are full - making it easier to lose that excess weight. Hoodia-1000™ has no known side-effects, it is stimulant free, will not give you the shakes, make your heart race or raise your body temperature.
