All you need to know on Hoodia Safety

One of the main questions everyone has on hoodia is about hoodia safety

Is Hoodia safe? What about hoodia safety?

We offer below honest answers why hoodia is safe to take.

Hoodia safety and The Natural Factor: Hoodia is a succulent plant, therefore it is a natural product coming from a plant grown in sunny and dry areas in Africa. There are no chemical or artificial ingredients added on it. Beware of hoodia not being hoodia gordonii since such variety is the only one having the appetite suppressant effects. You may verify it with the hoodia certificates at any website selling hoodia. In conclussion: Hoodia is completely natural and safe to take it.

21/02/2007 - The Afriplex hoodia cultivation programme is yielding its first harvest this year and is expected to significantly increase supply of plant material available to meet growing demand from the weight management market.

Hoodia gordonii, a plant that grows wild in the area stretching from the Ceres-Karoo, through the Northern Cape, to the Kalahari, has been consumed by the bushmen for thousands of years to suppress appetite on hunting trips.

Research into its appetite suppressing properties and the isolation of the active ingredient P57, (which has been patented and is under license to Unilever) has spawned immense interest in the plant in the West. As appetite management gains credence as an approach to weight management, demand has exceeded supply.

Rees pins hopes on slimmers for profit

Phytopharm could be just two years away from going into profit.

Such a statement would, of course, sound ludicrous for most other companies in business almost 15 years, but we are in biotech land where the world is different.

Actually, Phytopharm has never quite fitted into the biotech mould and for years has been referred to in these pages as a botanics business, all its drugs and potions originating from plants.

Now all this is changing, along with the appointment of new chief executive Dr Daryl Rees, who reckons nobody really understands what a botanics company might be, so re-definition might be in order.

Hoodia - The Obesity and Hunger Paradox

The world is certainly a curious place with amazing and incredible circumstances happening every day. The hoodia story is one of them.

It is into the developed and industrialized nations where actually we find one of the largest battles the man has embraced to: the fight against obesity. There are about 300 million people worldwide rated as overweight or obese. And the fight is going on, but the final victory is perhaps some years ahead.

By the other side, in the developing world, we find the other largest battle, and it is against the hunger. Accordingly to United Nations agencies, near 852 million people accross the globe are hungry. Here also the battle is going on and the victory is still far away. The largest population with hunger problems is in the Sub Saharan countries in Africa.

But is in Africa where a simple plant, the hoodia gordonii, is starting to emerge as a solution for both sides. It is what I call the Hoodia paradox.

The hoodia goordonii is a succulent which originally grows wild in the Kalahari and Namib deserts in Southern Africa, in certain areas of South Africa, namibia, Angola and Botswana. The hoodia gordonii is a plant having a molecule which suppress appetite.

The hoodia pills made a revolution in the weight loss market in just 3 years, being today at the top of the consumer demand for dieting products. Why?: because hoodia works!!
