Hoodia gordonii is a plant that originates from South Africa. It is in fact a cactus that grows in semi - desert regions. The Hoodia cactus and its great potential were first found by a Dutch anthropologist in 1937. He noticed that the indigenous people used the hoodia powder that they obtain from the Hoodia plant to get well through a rough period of hunger and thirst. Scientists have discovered that this plant has been used for millenniums before it was rediscovered. The hoodia gordonii plant is famous for its appetite suppressant characteristic. The western pharmaceutical companies saw a great opportunity open in front of them. Although it was discovered in 1937, it was in the 90s that the people started hearing about Hoodia diet. Most people are over weight and they often complain that they eat almost everything that they see and like. There are many products out there that can help you lose weight. But nothing is better than not eating. If you don't eat, how can you get fat? And the hoodia diet pill does just that. You won't feel hungry anymore. The hoodia weight loss pills are made out of pure hoodia seeds. A hoodia product may be a little expensive, but consider the fact that there are approximately 250 hoodia seeds in 1 gram. And every hoodia diet pill requires at least one gram of hoodia powder. As a result, the major pharmaceutical companies have started manufacturing synthetic Hoodia prescription drug. Still, there are many producers that make 100% Hoodia - natural pills. At least in theory, the two types (natural and synthetic) have the same effect on the human body, but if you prefer the natural ones, be sure to check look for a certificate that guarantees you that. But, as expected, the prices for the natural diet pills are higher than those for the synthetic drugs.

Hoodia gordonii is a cactus. In fact, it is one of the 2,000 species of Ascleoiadaceae, out of which 150 are succulent. The Hoodia plant requires a lot of taking care of and special conditions. Its natural environment is the desert (or semi-desert regions). It requires a very good watering control as well as temperature and sunlight. Although it has been catalogued almost a century ago, only in the last decade it has been presented as a miraculous plant. Due to the great requirements that one must fulfill in order to obtain a hoodia product, pharmaceutical companies such as Phytopharm hoodia began producing synthetic Hoodia products in order to maintain a balance between offer and demand. Almost 96% of the people that have tried the Hoodia diet have considerably lost weight. This percentage is backed up by the huge number of people that want to try a hoodia product. If you can stand taking hoodia diet pill, perhaps you would like to try a hoodia tea. The pills taste a little bitter, but you can add some sugar when you're taking them. Ether way, there are no differences - as to what regards the effect - between these two types of products. Every man is unique. So is his body. Therefore, the right dosage for every person varies. A supply of 90 pure hoodia pills should be enough. But, if you feel no changes, you can increase the dosage. When it comes to losing weight, the hoodia weight loss program seems to be on everyone's lips…and web site. The number of web sites that offer information and hoodia cactus products has grown fast. As natural products are better wanted than synthetic ones, Hoodia seed has become an item that is beginning to be more and more wanted. Hoodia based products can be bought from any drug store and it requires no recipe from your doctor.

The Hoodia cactus is the plant that has put America on fire. Almost 60% of Americans suffer from over weight. But all these problems are on the way of being solved…By a plant that originates from South Africa (the San Bushmen tribe of Kalahari). The Hoodia gordonii cactus isn't very tall (about two and a half feet tall), but it became the most known cactus in its family. There are many products on the market today, but none of them has had the same impact as Hoodia plant based products have. The Hoodia gordonii was discovered in 1937, but its stunning success came in the 90s, when the popular TV - show '60 minutes' presented the hoodia 60 minutes. They presented the pure hoodia diet pill that suppressed both hunger and thirst. Further more, it provided energy that you never thought you had in you. At that time, Pfizer pharmaceuticals (known for their Viagra pill) was the company presented at hoodia 60 minutes as being the one that produced it. The truth is that Pfizer were only in the incipient stage, testing the drug, to find more about it. Phytopharm hoodia (from the United Kingdom) was the company that owned the patent. Soon after, Pfizer abandoned this project, but Phytopharm hoodia carried on their studies. The hoodia 60 minutes has had a giant impact on the population. As a result, Phytopharm hoodia started producing hoodia diet pills. Seeing the huge success that the hoodia gordonii cactus products have had on the population many producers have claimed to be the first on the market. Giant pharmaceutical companies produce only synthetic medicines. They are cheaper and the effects are (should be) the same, but, generally, people prefer pure hoodia products. You can easily tell whether a hoodia weight loss product is natural or not, if you look at the price. There may be a small difference between producers, but there's a big gap between natural and synthetic products.

There are hundreds if not thousands of different pills, tea, food or any other product that can help you lose weight. Still, the pure hoodia products have had (and they still have) an enormous success to people world wide. They are made out of hoodia powder extracted from the Hoodia gordonii cactus. But hundreds of other products are natural. One of the great advantages of the Hoodia gordonii based products is the fact that they have no side effects. You can take as many hoodia weight loss pills as you'd like, drink as much hoodia tea as you want, nothing bad is going to happen to you. Studies show that after the age of 40, people eat only for 'maintenance'. But people often eat a little bit extra. And that extra accumulates until they realize that they are over weight. And how can the Hoodia gordonii cactus correct this problem? Well, the Hoodia plant contains a substance that fools your brain into believing that you are not hungry or thirsty. This substance is thought to be 10,000 times more powerful than glucose. Actually, it fools your hypothalamus (a gland at the center of your brain). This Hoodia cactus substance is said to have aphrodisiac powers as well. It also gave the San people extra powers. The Hoodia seed is very small (in 1 gram you have about 250 seeds) and the plant requires a lot of taking care. This is one of the reasons why the hoodia tea and the hoodia products are more expensive than other natural products. Also, you will have to add to that the stunning success that it has had. Although there are no known side effects up until now, it is recommended to maintain the prescribed dosage (there have been cases where people take high dosage without suffering anything).

The Hoodia gordonii is the only Hoodia cactus that produces a substance similar to glucose, but much more powerful. Having a plantation can be a great business, but its requirements are a bit hard to fulfill: first, you have to get some Hoodia seeds. Next, you will need temperatures of about 50 degrees Celsius. And add to that the 4 to 6 years that the Hoodia gordonii cactus requires to mature. And, there you have it…Your own Hoodia plantation. Indeed, the Hoodia gordonii plant is one of the most difficult plants to grow. But, in the real life, everything good is difficult to get. Actually, considering what it went through before it was finally discovered, it is indeed a miracle. After it was discovered in 1937, by a Dutch anthropologist, the Hoodia plant (or Xhoba as the San tribe calls it) sat for another three decades in a lab, waiting to be analyzed. Finally, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) scientists came to it. They discovered in the Hoodia cactus an unknown molecule, that they named P57. They tested the Hoodia seed, as well as the pure hoodia powder and they noticed (beside a lost of appetite), effects similar to caffeine; and all these with the cost of no side effects. The patent for the hoodia gordonii plant P57 molecule was sold in 1997 to Phytopharm - an UK pharmaceutical company. After only a few years, the hoodia diet pill was released on the market. Ever since then, Hoodia has been a huge success and it is renowned for its 'no side effects'. Thanks to the hoodia gordonii plant, over weight people have a reduced appetite. Still, even if they eat less, they can get fat, or maintain their weight. That's because of all the bad food that they are eating. A Hoodia diet also means eating healthy food.
