Authentic hoodia is a rare botanical that grows exclusively in South Africa. There are several compounds in hoodia that help suppress appetite by tricking the brain into thinking you are full, making it a potent weight-loss tool.

Unfortunately, there are hundreds of supplements and pills that claim to help you lose weight with hoodia when, in fact, their product is not pure hoodia at all. Before you purchase the product, make sure it contains 100% authentic South African Hoodia Gordonii.

HOODIA GORDONII BACKGROUND

Hoodia gordonii is also called hoodia, xhooba, khoba, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus. Hoodia is a cactus-like plant that has the ability to suppress appetite and promote weight loss. Hoodia is sold in capsule, liquid extract, or spray in health food stores and on-line.

Hoodia gordonii is found in the semi-deserts of South Africa. When the pale purple flowers appear (It takes 5 years.), the cactus can be harvested. There are many types of hoodia, but only the hoodia gordonii contains the natural appetite suppressant.

The inhabitants of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa have been using hoodia for thousands of years as an appetite suppressant. The Bushmen go on long hunting trips and can go days without eating and still maintain their energy level simply by chewing on the hoodia plant. They also use it to treat diseases and conditions like abdominal cramps, indigestion, hemorrhoids, anxiety and diabetes.

Pure hoodia gordonii contains a molecule that sends a message to the brain telling it that enough food has been eaten. The result is suppression of the appetite. Not only does your body think it has eaten enough food but it stops the brain from having thoughts about food.

LIQUID OVER PILLS

Hoodia liquid extracts have increased biochemical potency over pills and are more absorbable than pills as you do not need to digest them. Since liquid extract absorbs almost immediately, you can lessen food cravings more quickly resulting in faster weight loss.

RESULTS OF PURE HOODIA

When you take pure Hoodia, you will experience the following:

*Eat less food at mealtimes

*Lose your food cravings between meals

*Lose your desire to eat and your obsession with food

*Lose weight without feeling hungry or deprived

Remember, before you use your hard-earned money to purchase any hoodia product, make sure it contains 100% authentic South African Hoodia Gordonii.
