The Energy Drink Blog

Many of us are searching for a magic diet pill or an elixir that will take away our insatiable need to eat and lose a ton of weight.  But with so many diet products on the market today how do we know which one works best?  A few years back when ephedrine was pulled off the market, the number one weight loss supplement , we all panicked that nothing else could possibly deliver the same results and as quickly.  Then something called Hoodia Gordonii was discovered as a powerful supplement that could help to curb appetite and hunger, promote weight loss, and maintain energy levels while enhancing your mood.

South African Hoodia Gordonii dates back to prehistoric times when the San Tribe from the Kalahari Desert first discovered this rare species of a plant.  They would chew this bitter tasting plant and it would help to suppress their appetite for up to 24 hours while they would hunt for food for their families.

Hoodia is an endangered, protected plant species because it is so rare.  It can take up to 5 years to mature from the time it is planted.  There are several different kinds of Hoodia grown but the only one known to curb appetite and promote weight loss is the form known as Hoodia Gordonii.  The active molecule in Hoodia Gordonii is called p57, this is the key factor that aides in appetite suppression. 

 Today Hoodia is found in many weight loss products that claim to reduce your appetite while helping to maintain you energy levels as well.  A study done in Leicester, England on overweight individuals proved that over a 15-day period calorie consumption was reduced by about 1000 calories a day with the use of pure South Africa Hoodia Gordonii. 

There are so many companies today that claim there product contains pure South African Hoodia Gordonii but many actually don’t because it can be so hard to export.  The only way to know for sure if you are getting the real deal is to find out if the company has proper certification or what’s known as a C.I.T.E.S (Convention on international trade in endangered species) which allows them to export the Hoodia.  This is the only form of certification out there that proves you are getting pure Hoodia Gordonii. One of the only companies out there today that has this certification if a company called Strictly Health.  They carry Hoodia in either pill or elixir form.  Their Hoodia is pure right down to the capsule there are no other ingredients or fillers involved in the making of their products.  By taking just 2 capsules about an hour before meal time you will be amazed at how the urge to eat diminishes.

There are no negative side effects by using Hoodia long term either.  You can stay on it for as long as you like.  The most common side effects you will experience are a decrease in your appetite which helps to reduce calorie consumption and promote weight loss, an increase in stamina and energy, and a sense of well being.  Many people are using Hoodia Gordonii as an effective way to lose weight more efficiently than with just diet and exercise alone.
