Hoodia Gordonii Plus
The primary active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii Plus is, as the name suggests, hoodia gordonii. Some hoodia diet pills use a very small amount of hoodia gordonii in their products. Hoodia Gordonii Plus uses 400mg of a concentrated form of hoodia gordonii. CITES certification and product analysis available for inspection at the Hoodia Gordonii Plus website support the authenticity of the hoodia gordonii used by the company. Concentrated forms are created by using alcohol to isolate the active ingredient. The powder which remains when the alcohol is removed contains no skin or fibers and is considered to provide a more potent source than those powders which are created by grinding up the whole plant. Some manufacturers of hoodia diet pills claim that the African natives ate the whole plant to curb their hunger when other food sources were not available, but they actually peeled and discarded the skin.
As the plus suggests, hoodia gordonii is not the only active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii Plus. 50mg of garcinia cambogia is included. Garcinia cambogia which is commonly called gambooge is a plant native to West and Central Africa and parts of Asia. Gambooge was used in traditional Indian medicine to treat a variety of ailments. It was included in Hoodia Gordonii Plus because certain clinical studies indicate that the active compound found in gambooge can decrease appetite, body mass index, and increase the body’s ability to burn fat. Research of the effects of gambooge is contradictory. Some groups showed positive results while others did not, but it is widely recommended as a natural fat burner. There is another hoodia diet pill which includes garcinia cambogia, but the amount of genuine hoodia gordonii in that product is questionable.
Hoodia Gordonii plus also includes 250 mg of magnesium, an essential mineral found in most vitamin supplements. Some well known diet experts recommend supplementation of magnesium. It is not commonly found in hoodia diet pills. Magnesium helps strengthen muscles including the heart and helps the body to make use of the B complex vitamins, (important for energy) vitamin C and E. Magnesium is found naturally in green vegetables, nuts and seafood, but since the average American diet is high in starches, breads and pasta, which are low in magnesium, most people do not get enough. Total daily intake of magnesium should not exceed 400 mg, as higher dosages can be toxic. Check the label of your daily vitamin to make sure that it does not contain more than 150mg of magnesium. Most do not, but some high potency products may.
Clinical research has proved that Hoodia Gordonii has a never found before supplement quality which would help in suppressing anyone’s appetite by 2000 calories a day, which is amazing. On top of that, this pill is 100% natural and has no side effects noticed until today. This natural and organic have been tested for over 30 years, constantly researched by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa. The story of Hoodia is going great heights in the United States and one of the major pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer is researching day and night to develop a pill using the safest and natural Hoodia. Pfizer has named the pill P57 which is to be synthesized as a natural substance cannot be used as a patent until it is turned into a drug by a drug company. The drug company would have to mix un-healthy and un-natural substance to the drug to patent the product and earn money.
