(Besides curbing hunger and thirst, Hoodia has also been used to calm abdominal cramps, sooth indigestion, improve energy and mood)
Because of the huge commercial demand for Hoodia Gordonii, the cactus is also now commercially farmed on a limited number of farms in South Africa.
There are actually 20 types of Hoodia but only Hoodia Gordonii contains the appetite supressant so important for weight loss. The active ingredient in Hoodia is called p57.
Hoodia is sold in capsule, liquid, or tea form in health food stores and on the Internet.
If you've looked at Hoodia products, you've no doubt seen different types of Hoodia advertised. There are really 2 main types of Hoodia source materials:
#1) 100% Pure Hoodia - This is Hoodia powder ground down from the Hoodia plant leaves. Many experts and and even users claim that 100% Pure Hoodia powder is the most effective form of Hoodia for weight loss.
#2) 20:1 Extract (or 10:1 Extract) - This is made by placing the Hoodia plant in alcohol which pulls out the active ingredients into the alcohol. This mixture is then strained to remove the fiber and skins. The alcohol is removed, leaving the hoodia powder.
20:1 means that 1 g of this extract was made by using 20 g of the whole plant. It sounds more potent however many experts actually say the 20:1 extract is much less potent than 100% Pure Hoodia.
Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus of the "succulent" cactus family, which has grown for thousands of years in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa.
Hoodia has been used by the indigenous Bushmen as a natural appetite suppressant and thirst quencher during their long hunting trips for generations.
