Hoodia For A Weight Loss Program

By Jason Carlson

Hoodia is one of the most popular weight loss products out in the market today. This product has been used extensively in South Africa by bushmen to help ward off hunger during hunting trips. Recently a 60 minutes special gave mass exposure to hoodia as a diet supplement and show that it was effective and had minimal 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.

Drug companies have tried to re-create the Hoodia compound synthetically but they have not found one yet. Until a synthetic version is available, the only real Hoodia available is the South African.

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.

Double-blind tests are currently being done, reports of people using Hoodia for weight loss has been very positive. Again, there are no reported side effects and more and more this product continues to grow in popularity.

Many companies are fighting to capture their piece of the market share of the Hoodia product. In addition, Hoodia is being used as an active ingredient in many weight loss supplements. Even though, it is the recommended to use pure Hoodia to get the maximum effect.

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.
