Hoodia vs. Glucose: Which Suppresses Appetite Better?

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

Before getting into the Hoodia vs. Glucose debate, you have to understand how each of them work as appetite suppressant. Let’s start with Glucose. There is a region in the mid brain called the hypothalamus, which monitors (among other functions) hunger, thirst and blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels rise to a certain point, the hypothalamus sends out a signal and you start feeling a sensation of fullness – you have eaten enough.

The Cambridge University carried out a study that showed that by monitoring one’s blood sugar levels, one’s appetite could be controlled. Higher blood sugar levels did have a temporary effect on one’s appetite. The key word here is “temporary”, because the food you eat and the activities you do will affect the level of glucose in your blood.

The only way to control your weight through the level of glucose in your blood is to first: monitor your diet closely to find out how your body reacts to various foods. Second: monitor your activities and work out how much exercise you do in a day. Third: Closely monitor your levels of blood glucose to work out a diet that keeps your blood sugar levels high enough, so that you can control your feelings of hunger. This means you have to be very vigilant with yourself daily – possibly easy to do for a very short while, but almost impossible over a long stretch of time. People gain weight because for various reasons; metabolic, hereditary or just plain bad eating habits, these messages between the blood and the brain get distorted. Your brain can be tricked into “believing” that you are still hungry even though your stomach is full.

Now let’s take hoodia gordonii. Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. The San tribes have taken it for centuries to curb their hunger when food stocks were low. The South African government researched hoodia gordonii and isolated its active principal P57, which proved to be a hunger suppressant.

P57 was found to behave in much the same way as glucose, in that it caused the hypothalamus to respond as though the levels of blood glucose had risen, but without any calories being ingested. Furthermore, P57 was 10,000 times more active than sugar!

It is neither a stimulant, nor is it addictive – it has no side effects at all.

So, on the one hand we have the option of using diet (which means calories, whichever way you look at it) to regulate one’s appetite and on the other hand we have hoodia gordonii (no calories and a little bit goes 10,000 times further) to control hunger pangs, accompanied by a diet perfectly suited to one’s needs and lifestyle. Glucose levels in the blood constantly change with eating and with activity. Hoodia gordonii is consistent – once you have taken the required amount, it will remain active for the given period.
 
As is obvious, there is no contest – hoodia gordonii is a clear winner.

Another clear winner is UniqueHoodia. UniqueHoodia contains fresh, safe and pure 100% real hoodia gordonii in conveniently sized 460mg capsules. UniqueHoodia is fully certified and authenticated. Do you want to reduce your calorie intake by up to 2,000 calories a day? Try UniqueHoodia – it’s a winner.

Can Hoodia Be An Extract?

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

There are presently 211,000 websites that respond when you key in the words, “buy hoodia gordonii extract”. This proves the known fact that when Alkemist Pharmaceuticals tested hoodia gordonii samples that had been sent to them willingly, they found that over 80% of them were either fake or just not up to par. Can you imagine how many products there are out there that have not been tested at all? Because the first thing that you need to know is that genuine hoodia gordonii does not come in the form of an extract.

An “extract” is a part of a larger item. To say that a product contains an extract of hoodia gordonii can mean that the product contains any part of a hoodia gordonii plant. Only the core, the inner flesh of hoodia gordonii contains its active ingredient, P57, the molecule that suppresses appetite. The rest of the plant – its leaves, roots, stems and skin contains no P57 and hence has no effect on appetite at all.

Genuine hoodia gordonii is prepared by reducing its inner core to powder. This is where the P57 is found, and 100% real hoodia gordonii core powder is the most powerful appetite suppressant. So you can see the scope for mischief here. Companies are selling all kinds of products and calling them Hoodia extract – the capsule or tablet contains any part of the hoodia gordonii plant and sometimes even parts of the other varieties of Hoodia (the ones with no P57 at all, core or otherwise). The pills contain all kinds of other items as well, like caffeine, green tea, and other herbs – these other substances have no effect of appetite at all, merely acting as fillers to pad up the tablet.

Some companies out there are genuine and one of them is UniqueHoodia. With UniqueHoodia, you find 100% real hoodia gordonii core powder in a 460mg gelatin capsule. This is the most effective form of hoodia gordonii, designed to help you lose weight efficiently. And UniqueHoodia comes fully certified. They have the CITES certificate, an Organics Annex Certificate and a Certificate of Analysis. They have also had their product tested not only by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, but by CNL, another reputable laboratory as well. If you want to experience natural and healthy weight loss, UniqueHoodia with its fresh, safe and pure 100% real hoodia gordonii is the product for you.

How Effective is the Hoodia Extract?

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

Do you known what the term “extract” really means? An extract is a part of a larger whole. When companies say their product contains Hoodia “extract”, they mean that part of the product is Hoodia and the rest is the other parts of the plant: the leaves, roots, outer skin, stems – all totally ineffective where weight loss is concerned. So, when you take Hoodia extract (if it’s pure hoodia gordonii), the supplement is only 60% effective. You see, only the inner flesh, the core of pure hoodia gordonii contains P57, a molecule that suppresses appetite. The rest of the plant has no P57 and neither do any of the other varieties of hoodia plants that grow all over Africa.

Only hoodia gordonii, a succulent plant that grows solely in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa contains the active ingredient, P57 in its inner flesh – so only the core of  the pure hoodia gordonii is an effective appetite suppressant.

A hoodia company offering hoodia extract may also use parts of any other hoodia plants, not to mention fillers like caffeine or green tea. It is an unfortunate fact that when Alkemist Pharmaceuticals tested hundreds of hoodia products, they found that over 80% of them were either fake or just not up to par. An effective hoodia gordonii supplement will contain 100% pure hoodia gordonii core in a powdered form and it will have no other ingredient in it at all – except the gelatin of the capsule in which it has been filled.

So when you are reading the list of ingredients on the label of a Hoodia supplement, be aware that there should be no other ingredients listed, except gelatin, of course.

And if the label mentions “extract” put the bottle back on the shelf immediately.

This is not to say that all hoodia supplements are fakes. Let’s look at UniqueHoodia.

UniqueHoodia comes in gelatin capsules containing only 100% pure hoodia gordonii.

UniqueHoodia’s website also displays all their certificates:
A CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate, proving that the hoodia gordonii has been legally imported from South Africa.
An Organics Annex Certificate that shows that the hoodia gordonii was grown organically and imported directly from farmers in South Africa.
A Certificate of Analysis that proves that the product is authentic hoodia gordonii.
Also, UniqueHoodia has been tested by not only Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, but by CNL, another reputed laboratory, as well.

If you are looking for a fresh pure and safe 100% real hoodia gordonii, you will find it with UniqueHoodia.

Hoodia Gordonii: Comparing Prices

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

There is a lot of disparity in the prices at which hoodia gordonii is selling today.

One hoodia gordonii supplement is selling a month’s supply at £ 6.55 while another is selling at £ 37.37. This difference of over £ 30 for a month’s supply points to the simple conclusion that the £ 6.55 hoodia gordonii supplement is either not genuine or else contains so little hoodia gordonii that it will be practically ineffective. There are many reasons for this. Hoodia gordonii is a rare plant growing wild in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. This is its only natural habitat. Since the time that it was discovered hoodia gordonii contained an active ingredient, a molecule named P57 that could suppress appetite, it has been in great demand worldwide. This led to hoodia gordonii being over-harvested and it is now on the endangered list and can only be exported with a certificate from CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).

There are other species of Hoodia growing all over Africa, but they contain no P57. Only hoodia gordonii contains P57 and will suppress appetite.

Pure hoodia gordonii is very difficult to cultivate even on its own native soil. It has been taken to Texas and China and is presently being cultivated there as well, but hoodia gordonii has proved to be most effective when grown in its natural environment in Southern Africa. Only the core, the inner flesh of hoodia gordonii contains the appetite-suppressing molecule P57. The rest of the plant; its spiny skin, flowers and roots contain no P57 and hence have no effect on appetite suppression. Now, all these facts about hoodia gordonii show you that to make an effective appetite-suppressing supplement from this plant is going to be expensive.

1. First a certificate from CITES must be obtained and then the hoodia gordonii must be imported from South Africa.
2. Then, only the core of hoodia gordonii containing P57 must be used. The rest of the plant is useless.
3. After that it is necessary to get the product certified and thoroughly tested to prove that it is 100% real  hoodia gordonii.

There are many cheaper ways to manufacture hoodia gordonii supplements.
1. Obtain hoodia gordonii from Texas or China – it will be less effective at suppressing appetite, but it will definitely be cheaper.
2. Use the entire plant – this will make the product only 60% effective, but certainly, it will cost less to manufacture.
Or use just a little hoodia gordonii and fill up the rest of the capsule with green tea, caffeine, etc.
3. Use any of the other Hoodia plants growing all over Africa.
These supplements will not be effective at all, but they will be cheap to manufacture and one can still call them “Hoodia”.
4. Forget the certificates and the tests.

The reason for the difference in prices should be crystal clear to you now. Pure and genuine hoodia gordonii comes at a price. Let’s examine UniqueHoodia retailing for a price of £ 37.37. UniqueHoodia uses the powdered core of 100% real hoodia gordonii in 460mg gelatin capsules. Their hoodia gordonii supplement carries the CITES certificate, an Organics Annex Certificate and a Certificate of Analysis. It has been tested by two reputable laboratories. Certainly, UniqueHoodia is expensive but rest assured that you are paying for the Real Thing.

Hoodia Gordonii And What The Medicos Say

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

“Is the hoodia gordonii that I am planning to buy the Real Thing?” With fake abounding, one has to ask this question. In fact, Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, a highly reputed company tested hundreds of products that were sent to them willingly and discovered that over 80% of them were fraud!

Hoodia gordonii only grows in Southern Africa and has been listed as an endangered species. Anyone wishing to import it has to have a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate to prove that the hoodia gordonii is genuine and has been imported legally.

Now most hoodia companies rely solely on a CITES certificate and testing by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals to prove that the Hoodia Gordonii that they are selling is authentic.

But the problem here is, that many of these websites proudly displaying these two certificates are doing so under false pretexts. On some websites, the certificates are blurred and barely readable. On others, some of the text appears to have been blacked out possibly because it belongs to some other company or because it is out of date.

So now, what does one do? The answer lies in the fact that there are more ways than just the two mentioned above, of certifying that the hoodia gordonii in the product is genuine.

The Organics Annex Certificate – this proves that the hoodia gordonii in the product has been imported from the farmers in South Africa and sent directly to the USA – so, no agents in the middle and no lying around in storage sheds for who knows how long. Furthermore, it proves that the Hoodia Gordonii was grown organically. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) – this is issued before the Hoodia Gordonii enters the USA. Proving that the hoodia gordonii has been analyzed under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), and is not only genuine, but contains no contaminants as well.

Now, let us look at UniqueHoodia. UniqueHoodia has undertaken the responsibility to obtain the Organics Annex Certificate as well as the Certificate of Analysis.

Naturally, they have the CITES certificate and have had their Hoodia Gordonii tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals. In addition to all this, UniqueHoodia has had their pure hoodia gordonii tested by CNL (Certified Natural Laboratories) as well, another highly reputed laboratory and their product has passed these tests with flying colors. This goes to show you that they are selling pure, fresh and safe 100% real Hoodia Gordonii in their products.

Hoodia Gordonii Price Comparison

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

To understand the variation in the price of Hoodia products, it is necessary to understand exactly what Hoodia Gordonii is. Hoodia Gordonii is a rare succulent plant that is found in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. It grows wild in the desert, but has proven notoriously difficult to cultivate. There are many varieties of Hoodia growing all over Africa, but only Hoodia Gordonii has proved to contain P57, an active ingredient that causes loss of appetite. P57 is only found in the inner flesh, the core of Hoodia Gordonii. Its roots, leaves, stems and spiny outer covering contain no P57, and so have no effect on appetite at all. Hoodia gordonii is a rare plant, and having been over harvested, it is now on the endangered list. It can only be exported out of South Africa with a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate.

With the epidemic of obesity overtaking our world, and the dictates of health and fashion demanding a slim body, this natural appetite suppressant with no side effects has quickly become one of the most sought after supplements. This demand has led to hundreds of companies supplying Hoodia products, not all of which contain pure hoodia gordonii.

Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, a highly respected laboratory tested hundreds of samples of hoodia gordonii that had been willingly sent to them, and declared over 80% of these products fraud. Some of the products had no hoodia gordonii in them at all, but had used one of the other hoodia plants – the other hoodias have no effect on appetite at all.
Other products did use hoodia gordonii, but unfortunately, they used the entire plant – leaves, stems, roots and skin – and this reduced the effectiveness of the remedy by 40%.

Therefore, as you can see hoodia gordonii does come at a price. Firstly, it has to be certified by CITES, and then imported from South Africa. Secondly, it has to be tested by a reputed laboratory that will certify that it is genuine hoodia gordonii. Thirdly, to be fully effective, only the core of the hoodia gordonii can be used in the supplement, the rest of the plant must be discarded as it does not contain P57 and hence has no effect on appetite suppression.

You can see how the expense is building up there. By the time hoodia gordonii is finally packaged and ready to be handed over to the customer, it has already cost the manufacturer a fair amount.

Compare a month’s supply of just 3 Hoodia products:
Hoodia gordonii 400mg sells at £6.55
Extra strength hoodia gordonii 800mg sells at £12.80
UniqueHoodia sells at £37.37

You can see the difference in the price range quite easily here. Ask yourself this question – is it possible for a company to import a rare and endangered plant from South Africa with proper certification, get it thoroughly tested at reputed laboratories, manufacture the capsules, package the product, advertise it and then sell a month’s supply for just £6.55 or even £12.80 ?
Don’t forget the results of Alkemist Pharmaceuticals’ tests – only 20% of the supplements they tested were genuine and up to par.

Take UniqueHoodia now. They sell a month’s supply of Hoodia Gordonii at £37.37

They also show you a CITES certificate, an Organics Annex Certificate, a Certificate of Analysis and their supplements have not only been tested and passed by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals but by CNL (Certified Natural Laboratories) as well.

UniqueHoodia sells supplements that are fresh, safe and pure 100% real hoodia gordonii.

Are they expensive? Maybe. Are they value for money? Most certainly!

Hoodia Gordonii and Authenticity

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

Many companies selling Hoodia today have realized the importance of having their products certified. The favorite certificates are the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate, which proves that the product has been legally imported from South Africa and a certificate from Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, which proves that their product is authentic hoodia gordonii.

Not only do these companies make claims to having these certificates, but they also feature them on their websites and the effect is certainly very official. Unfortunately, many of these certificates on Hoodia websites appear to be as fake as the product they are selling. These certificates have been taken or copied from elsewhere. Relevant portions have been blacked out, or parts of the certificate are just not legible.

So, how does one find an authentic hoodia gordonii product? Either find certificates that are totally readable, or find a company that has had their product tested further by more companies than just the two mentioned above.

Take UniqueHoodia for instance. They have the CITES certificate, proving that their hoodia gordonii is genuine, pure and legally imported from South Africa. What they also have is more than just the one certificate. They also have an Organics Annex Certificate, which proves that their hoodia gordonii is organic and has been sent directly from the farmers in South Africa to the UniqueHoodia manufacturing units in the USA. This means that their pure hoodia gordonii reaches the USA fresh from South Africa…it has not been sitting in a storage shed with any middle men. Another certificate they have is a COA – a Certificate of Analysis that is issued prior to the hoodia gordonii entering the country. This proves that their product was analyzed under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), and is genuine hoodia gordonii.

UniqueHoodia has also been tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and as further back up, by CNL (Certified Natural Laboratories) as well. Both laboratories have passed the hoodia gordonii in UniqueHoodia. So here we have a company that has had its pure hoodia gordonii tested before it reaches the country and after it has arrived as well…and it has passed all these tests with flying colors. Not only does UniqueHoodia use fresh, pure and 100% real hoodia gordonii but it is free from any contaminants, which makes it a safe product as well.

Hoodia gordonii is a natural plant appetite suppressant. It has no side effects and users report feeling good and maintaining normal levels of energy while using it, unlike other appetite suppressants. If you do want to try out pure hoodia gordonii, UniqueHoodia’s safe and pure 100% real hoodia gordonii is the one for you.

Genuine Hoodia vs. Fake Hoodia

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

If you type the word “hoodia” in your search engine, in less than 0.13 seconds, you will find over 6 million entries! Thousands of these are websites selling hoodia products in some form or another, giving you very impressive information and making it easy to buy hoodia right away.

What you need to know is this. Alkemist Pharmaceuticals tested hundreds of these products (sent to them willingly) and discovered that 80% of them were selling fake Hoodia – and we are only talking about the samples sent to them…what about the hundreds of untested samples?

So how do you discern the fake hoodia from the pure hoodia?

1. There are many varieties of hoodia growing all over Africa, but only pure hoodia gordonii, which grows only in Southern Africa, will suppress your appetite. The inner flesh or core of hoodia gordonii contains an active ingredient (named P57, by the scientists who discovered it) that mimics glucose and fools your brain into thinking you are full, when you have not eaten anything. So any product that says it contains hoodia (without specifying further) is most likely selling one of the other hoodias – and those hoodias have no effect on appetite at all.

2. The active ingredient of hoodia gordonii, P57, is found only in the inner flesh of the plant. Some manufacturers are unfortunately using the entire plant in their product. That is, they are including the outer spiny skin, leaves, stems and roots. These other parts of hoodia gordonii contain no P57, and have no effect on the appetite. The product then may prove to be hoodia gordonii when analyzed, but it will only be 60% effective. When buying hoodia gordonii, make sure the pure hoodia capsule contains only the core of the plant – it should have a high P57 count.

3. Another thing that manufacturers are doing, is adding other ingredients to hoodia gordonii. These other ingredients do nothing to induce appetite suppression and on the contrary, like point 2 above, they lessen the amount of hoodia gordonii in the product, making it less effective. Also, no research has been done on hoodia gordonii being ingested with other substances, so possibly this may not be very safe to do. The only other substance that you should see on the ingredient list of your hoodia gordonii is gelatin – the gelatin that is used to make the capsule.

One company that has not only followed the above rules, but has the certificates to prove it is UniqueHoodia. UniqueHoodia uses pure hoodia gordonii imported from South Africa with a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate to prove it. UniqueHoodia also has an Organics Annex Certificate, which proves their product is organic and sent to them directly from farmers in South Africa.
Their product has been tested, analyzed and passed by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, again with certificates to prove it. If you want to try out pure and safe 100% real hoodia gordonii, UniqueHoodia is the product for you.

Hoodia Gordonii – Can A Guarantee Make A Big Difference?

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

Do guarantees make a difference to weight loss products? Guarantees promising an X number of pounds lost? Difficult, since no two people have the same metabolism. Guarantees regarding time taken for the weight loss? Possibly, if the product does not work within a certain period, then maybe it will not work at all. So what could be considered a fair time frame to show results? Is 2 weeks enough? Is a month enough? Is 6 weeks enough? Is 3 months enough time to see if the product is working for you?

Losing weight is a very personalized matter. Only you and your physician know why you are overweight, how long you have been overweight and how many diets and supplements you have already tried out. All these factors have some bearing on how much effect your latest weight-loss product will have on you.

Hoodia gordonii is the latest, but most promising of supplements to come on the market in the last few years. This succulent plant has an active ingredient (named P57), that is a natural appetite suppressant and it has no side effects either.

Some hoodia gordonii diet pills offer you a two-week guarantee – 14 days only. Either they are very sure of their supplement or they are merely safeguarding having to refund you any money. Some hoodia products are offering a 1-month guarantee – 30 days – that sounds better. Other hoodia supplements are offering a 3-month guarantee – 90 days – even better.

Then we have UniqueHoodia. UniqueHoodia is offering you a 6-month guarantee – 180 days! And that is not all. Hoodia gordonii has brought hope to millions of people suffering from overweight and obesity, but it has unfortunately also attracted unscrupulous manufacturers with the prospects of making big money. All kinds of hoodia products have hit the market and not all of them are genuine. Out of hundreds of supplements tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, 80% turned out to be fakes.

UniqueHoodia’s supplements come with:

A CITES certificate, proving their product is pure hoodia gordonii and imported legally from South Africa.

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) proving that their product was analyzed under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), and is genuine hoodia gordonii.

An Organics Annex Certificate showing that their hoodia gordonii has been grown organically and is fresh, having been imported directly from farmers in South Africa.

And they have not only had their hoodia gordonii tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, but by CNL (Certified Natural Laboratories), another reputed laboratory as well – passing both these stringent tests.

UniqueHoodia is not only fully accredited, but they are so sure of themselves that they offer you a full 180-day guarantee. You have 6 months in which to see if UniqueHoodia will help you lose weight and a guarantee of a full refund if you do not. UniqueHoodia supplements are fresh, safe and pure 100% real hoodia gordonii. UniqueHoodia are offering you a 180-day guarantee with complete confidence – they know that their supplement is guaranteed to make you lose weight!

The Unique Hoodia Gordonii

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

Hoodia is a cactus like plant seen in the desert areas of Southern Africa. Though it resembles a cactus with spines and a thick stem, this plant is really a succulent. Since the world heard about it in 2004, there has been a lot of interest centered on the plant. The reason for this is reported ability of this plant to suppress appetite. The San tribal people who inhabit the Kalahari and neighboring areas relate that they have used it for hundreds of years to ward off hunger and thirst while on their days-long hunting trips.

And now, this plant is available every where as a supplement. Health food shops stock it. It is freely available on the internet. You can have it as a powder, a liquid, capsules or tablets. Keen to know first hand the effects of this wonder plant, a reporter went to South Africa where in the desert, hoodia grows. She is said to have had it just like the Bushmen did and felt the same effects. For the whole day she felt no hunger or thirst. In taste, it is said to have been like a cucumber.

Some time later, it was tested by a group of obese people whereas the control group took placebos. They were allowed no exercise than watching TV. The ones on pure hoodia ate 1000 calories less. They felt no preoccupations with food, no cravings. Their appetite had just gone.

How does pure hoodia work to suppress appetite? For that we have to understand how normally metabolism works. When we eat, the food we consume is turned into glucose. When the glucose level spikes, it signals the brain that the body is full and there in no more need of food. In the case of hoodia, there is a substance called P57 that does the same. Only here there is no food. This P57 is said to be 10,000 times more powerful than glucose in producing the feeling of fullness.

Individuals often eat even when they are full. They crave food for reasons that have nothing to do with hunger. When on hoodia gordonii, some of this preoccupation with food is said to have disappeared. If the emotional reason for eating can be removed, hoodia can help people eat smarter meals by making better choices. We make wrong choices when we crave for food. With the craving gone, dependence on hoodia will reduce and maintaining a healthy weight will be easy.
