When it comes to natural weight loss there are very few products that get it right. Hoodia gordonii is a natural health product that contains p57 extract as a strong ingredient that makes it work as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.

Current news reports around the world and independent investigations all want to understand whether the excitement generated by 100 pure hoodia companies is genuine. One thing is for sure that there is definitely a worldwide shortage of 100 pure hoodia. Sadly, many dishonest companies have been selling products labeled as hoodia lollipops that have little or no Hoodia in them.

Also, various nutritional stores have been unwittingly selling these products to potential buyers who are ignorant that these products may contain little or no real, natural or pure african Hoodia.

Real 100 pure hoodia is pricey and comes at a price and is also in restricted supply right now. It should not be expected in several cheap gimmick products available in the market. The hoodia pill take up to 5 years to mature and the supply of Hoodia is expected to be limited for at least the next few years. Besides, we’ve been waiting patiently for Phytopharm, the only company that can legally create and market a synthetically/artificially produced hoodia product based on genuine hoodia gordonii P57 extract, to offer a viable weight loss product to the public. As reported earlier, they are in a bargain with Unilever and the products were preferred to be acquirable soon enough.

Our story gets under way about 100,000 years ago. We know that looks remarkable, 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 masticate on a local plant to decrease hunger and get energy and of course it is hoodia weight loss patch. Amazingly, by chewing on Hoodia, the San have been able to go days without eating and still remain strong and energetic.

Therefore, for thousands of years the Bushmen have been feeding Hoodia Gordonii to reduce 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 search was done on 100 pure hoodia as an appetite suppressant. Even then, it took another 30 years for South African laboratories to single out the specific appetite suppressing ingredient in Hoodia. This ingredient was called P57 (or p-57) and licensed to the British pharmaceutical company – Phytopharm.
