Get the Real Hoodia Gordonii

Hoodia is generally referred to as a cactus. It is cactus like in appearance but actually a succulent. The Hoodia plant is native to Southern Africa and in particular the Kalahari Dessert Region, where a dozen species of the plant thrive and co exist in the arid climate. It is only one variety of the plant, Hoodia Gordonii that has any appetite suppressing and consequential weight loss properties.

Hoodia Gordonii is one of the thirteen types of Hoodia but is the only with p57, a glycoside which curbs appetite. It is important that you examine the labels well before you even think of getting one. There are companies which have no qualms in marketing Hoodia as authentic despite the fact that most of it contains 60% of Hoodia only just like if it is an extract.

In the labels, the list of ingredients should only include hoodia gordonii, gelatine, stearic acid and magnesium stearate. The last three ingredients compose the capsule where the 100% pure hoodia gordonii powder is stored.

Use Hoodia Gordonii Pills to Lose Weight

When it comes to losing weight the science is really very simple – you just need to spend more energy than you get with your meals. Your body gets the missing energy it needs by burning your fat deposits in the waist and other parts of the body. This means you need to increase your energy consumption by doing daily aerobic exercises or to decrease your dietary intake of calories by keeping a strict diet. But you should do both if you really want to improve the effect to your health.

Although for many this is easier said than done. It is very hard to keep to a diet or go to the gym every day. You likely don’t even have enough free time to do proper exercising or prepare the special foods that are required by your diet.

Thankfully there is a recent scientific discovery which can make it a lot easier to reduce the dietary intake of energy you need without having to rely on an iron will. This is the Hoodia Gordonii plant from South Africa. Just a few years ago it was discovered and already it is becoming extremely popular because of its abilities to suppress appetites.

Hoodia is a cactus like plant that is found in the semi-desert region of South Africa, but nowhere else in the world. It has been used since ancient times by African Bushmen as a way to get rid of hunger and thirst during a long hunt. Hoodia Gordonii works by telling your body that it is already full so you can reduce your daily food consumption. Your body will then burn your fat deposits to get the energy it needs and the result is that you lose weight.
