Since hoodia gordonii is a natural plant found in the Kalahari dessert of South Africa it makes it hard to find a product that has 100 percent pure hoodia. When you do find one that has pure hoodia in it you are almost guaranteed to lose weight if used properly. The proof comes from the San Bushman from Africa who nibbled on the plant while on long hunting trips to ward off hunger and thirst. The plant effectively suppressed their appetite, and there is a molecule found in the plant named P57 that is responsible for the loss of appetite.

This plant grows deep in the South Africa’s republic of Namibia, and grows under very high temperatures, and it takes years to mature. It is very rare and is protected by national conservation laws in South Africa and Namibia, and can only be grown or taken with a permit.

This makes it hard for just anyone to obtain this plant, but there are suppliers out there who are selling the real thing, but there are also twice as many who are selling products that contain little or no hoodia at all. The best way to find out who has the best hoodia is to ask the companies selling them to provide their permits, and even sometimes these can be fake. You may have to try different hoodia products out to find the one that actually suppresses you appetite after taking one pill.

As for hoodia gordonii being an effective weight loss pill, I would say that is a definite yes, as long as you find the right pill. There have been studies done in labs on this pill and the outcome has proved hoodia to be effective in losing weight . One of the studies had two groups of obese people. Both were put in small rooms and given pills, one a placebo and one a 100 percent pure hoodia pill. When given their meals the group who took the hoodia pill had reduced their calorie intake by a significant amount. Which proves if you do decide to take hoodia your appetite will decrease as well as your calorie intake, which will lead to fast and effective weight loss.

When taking 100 percent hoodia gordonii, you should be able to get to a healthy size and it should not take a long time for this to happen. If you reduce your calorie intake by 1000 a day (this is what the study above found) that will equal losing around six pounds a week and you will reach your ideal weight in no time.
