Hoodia (HOO-dee-ah) is a cactus-like plant, that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Other popular names include: hoodia, xhooba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus. In the last few years, hoodia has been heavily marketed for dieting and has quickly become one of the most popular weight loss supplements on the marketplace; today.

Much of hoodia’s credibility, stems from claims made by the San Bushmen; of the Kalahari desert.  It is said that these natives relied on hoodia for thousands of years, to ward off hunger and thirst; during long hunting excursions. Nevertheless, consumers should not believe that hoodia weight loss pills are an overnight solution; and expect that body fat will just melt away. Although there are documented cases of incredible success with hoodia, the majority of dieters need more than diet pills and supplements; to achieve their weight loss goals. In fact, some consumers have indicated that hoodia provided no positive results; at all.

Hoodia gordonii diet pills can play an important role, in a dieters overall weight loss plan; if used correctly. Those participants who experienced the most success with hoodia and weight loss supplements, maintained a healthy diet and exercised regularly. It is important to note that hoodia gordonii suppresses the appetite. It will not build muscle, improve a bad diet or deter poor eating habits.

Hoodia gordonii is often regarded as an herbal diet pill; without side effects. Although there’s a lack of published studies on the safety of hoodia in humans, the only active ingredient identified (so far) as problematic, is a steroidal glycoside; called “p57″. To date, only hoodia gordonii is thought to contain p57. Clinical studies have shown that although hoodia was successful in suppressing the appetite, there were indications of unwanted effects on the liver; caused by components other than the active ingredient p57.  It was further noted, that these components could not easily be removed; during processing.
