Unique Hoodia Weight Loss
admin | July 12, 2010Many weight loss supplements containing Hoodia are not pure hoodia. Instead, they are riddled with other ingredients. Such ingredients include Magnesium, Garcina Cambogia Extract, Green Tea Extract, and other fillers. Some of the filler ingredients used are stimulants. These stimulants can cause a plethora of negative side effects such as headaches, mood problems, and sleeplessness. This is why, most health care professionals recommend the use of stimulant-free weight loss supplements. An excellent stimulant-free weight loss supplement is Unique Hoodia.
Even though there are several different varieties of this plant, which is a type of cactus, only one of them has the compound that has the appetite suppressing qualities and that plant is the hoodia gordonii. This compound has been labeled as p57 and it is used in various health and beauty related products today. This is what makes the unique hoodia a highly sought after plant. The different products being made from this plant range from, diet pills, powder and dermal patches. Not only, that hoodia extract has been added to weight loss supplement products that have already been around for a while in some cases even before hoodia gordonii hit the market.
Even though these unique hoodia products have taken the market by storm, there has not been any scientific study done on it to test the effectiveness of this product. The side effects are also unknown. Anything we know today is mainly anecdotal evidence of the product done by various T.V channels and personalities. One of the most famous statements regarding the hoodia appetite suppressant qualities was done by Leslie Stahl of “60 minutes” fame. She claimed that she ate a piece of the hoodia plant when she was in Africa and lost all desire to eat and drink the rest of the day.
