We pleased to announce that we now carry Hoodia POWERSLIM which has the same strenght as our previous hoodia product, but is better for our customers who wanted a 100% vegetarian product. Hoodia POWERSLIM comes in 100% veggie capsules. Folks we don't need a skinny girl dressed in a bikini standing next to this bottle of Hoodia POWERSLIM to convince you that this is the most powerful Hoodia available. Just look at the ingredient of all the other brands and you will find that they are diluted with other stuff. Hoodia POWERSLIM has nothing but Hoodia in it. Its that simple. Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. The full name is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a Succulent botanical which resembles a "cactus". For this reason, hoodia is often mistaken called the "african hoodia cactus". If you must know all the technical data it is Genus: Trichocaulon and Family Name: Asclepiadaceae. Full grown Hoodia plants can grow over 6 feet tall.

What is Hoodia Gordonii?

Hoodia Gordonii is a stem succulent that looks like a cucumber that can reach up to 1 meter in height. Hoodia presents flesh coloured flowers that give off a very strong and unpleasant odor. The flowers bloom within the first 4 or 5 months of growth. When the flowers fall off a seed horn or pod grows where the flowers fall off.

Hoodia thrives in the high deserts of the Kalahari region of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola. The majority of hoodia plants are in South Africa and Namibia. Hoodia is also being cultivated in Arizona in the USA and Australia. Hoodia Gordonii is a very hardy desert succulent plant that can grow in many sandy areas in the world provided the temperatures don’t drop to freezing.

Although there are other species of hoodia (about 35 in all), the gordonii is the only one that contains the appetite suppressing molecule. Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus-like plant and is part of the plant Apocynaceae or Aloe family.

How does Hoodia work?

There isn't much mystery as to how hoodia gordonii is supposed to work. It's really very simple and acts basically the same way if you eat food slowly. Diet experts for decades have been telling people to eat slowly so that the body has time to send a message to the brain telling it the stomach is full. The message sent to the brain is by way of a glucose spike that says you've eaten enough.

Hoodia is marketed around the world as an appetite suppressant that sends a 'false' glucose spike to your hypothalamus fooling your brain into believing you are full, even when you are not.

While there have been no clinical studies done with hoodia gordonii as an appetitie suppressant, our experience has been that many people feel a greatly reduced interest in food and push themselves away from the table when they are about halfway though a meal. This results in a lower caloric intake and aids in portion control as well.

Facts About Hoodia and Why You Should Care About It?

Our story starts about 100,000 years ago. We know that sounds amazing, but the Bushmen of Southern Africa (also called "the San") have hunted, lived off the land and traveled across the Kalahari Desert for over 100,000 years. The Bushmen frequently go out on long hunting trips and chew on a local plant to reduce hunger and increase energy. The plant of course is Hoodia. Incredibly, by chewing on Hoodia, the San have been able to go days without eating and still remain strong and energetic.

Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. The full name is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a Succulent botanical which resembles a "cactus". For this reason, hoodia is often mistaken called the "african hoodia cactus". If you must know all the technical data it is Genus: Trichocaulon and Family Name: Asclepiadaceae. Full grown Hoodia plants can grow over 6 feet tall.

So, for thousands of years the Bushmen have been eating Hoodia Gordonii to decrease appetite and increase energy. While the Bushmen knew all about the powers of Hoodia, it was not until the mid 60's that the first research was done on Hoodia as an appetite suppressant. Even then, it took another 30 years for South African laboratories to isolate the specific appetite suppressing ingredient in Hoodia. This ingredient was called P57 (or p-57) and licensed to the British pharmaceutical company - Phytopharm.

By December of 2001, and $20 million later, Phytopharm had the first clinical study that showed obese people who took P57 (extracted from Hoodia Gordonii) ate 1,000 calories fewer per day with no adverse side effects! Simply put, if you took P57, your desire to eat was extremely reduced. Things looked so promising with P-57 as a diet drug, that Pfizer purchased the worldwide marketing rights from Phytopharm for a reported $32 million to develop and market P-57 based diet pills.

So I can just buy P57 (hoodia) from Pfizer and lose weight?

If only things were that simple. The twists and turns of the Hoodia saga are the things movies are made of. While, we will get into all the details throughout this site, let's continue with the brief overview…

No, P57 is not available in pill form and probably never will be. Pfizer's goal was never to harvest P57 from Hoodia plants. They thought they would be able to study the P57 molecule and make a synthetic version for much less than the cost of harvesting Hoodia and extracting P57. It turns out that making a synthetic version of P57 was cost prohibitive. Pfizer looked at the data and in turn pulled out of their deal with Phytopharm, believing that a P57 drug was not viable.

How Long Does Hoodia take To Work?
"It takes time to kick in, but you will like it when it does"

Hoodia Gordonii is an all-natural plant material. Herbal products do not work like drugs that are geared to work every time for everyone. Herbals can sometimes take time to start working, so we suggest the following:

1. Make sure you give the product an honest trial. Take one full bottle before you decide whether or not it is working for you. Hoodia also has a very subtle effect as there are no stimulants, so you won't feel much.

2. Try varying your dosages to get it right for you. Every person is different and differing absorption rates. Ordinarily we suggest a dosage of 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the afternoon about 1 - 2 hours before dinner. To do a loading dose, take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the afternoon for the first 3 days. If you find that hoodia starts to work on you right away or within the first few days, disregard the loading dose.

3. We try to make our products cost effective for our customers, so we also suggest taking note of when your problem eating times are throughout the day and night. If you don't have problems overeating during the day, then just take the afternoon dosage.

We recommend marking the date on the calendar that you start taking hoodia and try not to think about how you feel, if you are losing weight or whether you are hungry or not.

Some people feel that if it doesn't work within a few days, then it isn't going to. Try not to defeat yourself before you even get started.

You can do this, but you have to stay positive and give the product time to work.

Set a date of 30 - 60 days from the date you begin using hoodia as your trial period and stick with it. You must take hoodia every day to achieve the results you are looking for. Please be patient as hoodia can take some time to kick in as previously mentioned. When it does kick in you will be pleasantly surprised to find your interest in food is greatly reduced.

Don't Be Deceived By Claims of 20X (20:1) Hoodia
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 20X's STRONGER OR 20:1 EXTRACTS

Extract strength, 20 times or 20:1 extracts are not real. The appetite suppressing molecule in hoodia disintegrates when extracted so it is impossible to produce hoodia stronger than the pure plant powder. Some companies are told they are buying an extract and the supplier charges them a little bit more for it. These extracts DO NOT exist and either the company selling the products is falsely advertising or the supplier lied to them. Buy only 100% pure hoodia gordonii that is guaranteed and proven to be pure. (20:1 or 20 times stronger means that they would use 20kgs to make 1kg of extract. The cost of hoodia at 100.00/kg would mean that the cost for 1kg of extracted hoodia would be 20 x 100.00 = 2000.00/kg and they would have to sell 1 bottle for almost $500.00.)
You will see sites that list the 'Top Hoodia' products. These lists are always owned by the company that produces the product listed at the top, or all of the products on the list are made by the same company. All of these sites are fake, they don't pay for testing the products that they trash on those sites and don't give you the real picture. Do your homework and Google any company you want to do business with to get more information about them. Do not deal with companies that have no phone number or address listed on their site.
