I've heard some good things about Hoodia from my clients, although I haven't personally used it.


- EME



From the write up in the BB.com store:

What is it and where does it come from?

Hoodia Gordonii (Asclepiadaceae) looks like a cactus, but is actually a milkweed-like plant that grows in Botswana and the Kalahari Desert in Southwestern Africa. It was just introduced to the US market in early 2004.


What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
Hoodia Gordonii has been used by the South African San tribe for thousands of years. The San used this plant when they went hunting. Hoodia helped to prolong hunting trips by suppressing hunger, increasing energy levels and even improving libido!

Modern science has shed light on how Hoodia functions.


[ Top 5 Sellers ]
1. NOW Mega Hoodia
2. German American Technologies Jetfuel
3. Higher Power Hoodia 500
4. VPX Dietex
5. Fizogen Lean Tabs


It is believed that Hoodia sends signals to the brain that make the brain believe that the body is full, even when it is not. These signals are believed to be thousands of times stronger than the signals that sugar sends to the brain for the same reason.

This makes Hoodia a very powerful appetite suppressant, and a very effective weight loss product. For this reason it is included in many over-the-counter dietary weight loss supplements.

A molecule in Hoodia, P57, is believed to be responsible for Hoodias' ability to suppress appetite, increase energy levels, and help with weight loss.


Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?
Those who wish to suppress appetite, increase energy levels and lose weight can benefit greatly from using Hoodia as a nutritional supplement.

When used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan and exercise, Hoodia can help to bring about massive changes in body composition, and can greatly improve a persons health.

The hardest part about losing weight are the cravings. Lets face it: we all have foods that we love but that we know aren't that great for us. We know that some foods are fattening, but when the cravings come, what are we to do? Many of us give in.

Hoodia can help stop the cravings. This will help you stay strong and on the course to success!


How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?
It is important to strictly adhere to label recommendations.

Scientific data on Hoodia Gordonii is still emerging, and Hoodia may not be for everyone. Persons considering Hoodia Gordonii supplementation should consult with their physician before making any changes to their health care plans.

Hoodia is pretty good, Lean Green works really well for some people and I wouldn't consider it a stim.

hmmm, hoodia is expensive in the local stores :\ (The CVS wants like 40 dollars a bottle ) and I can't drop that kind of money...

On the other hand, i'd probably save myself fourty dollars in food

any other non stimulant suppressants I can look into?

I guess I'll have another look through the bb.com store.... I hate to spend a fortune on this stuff though, but my appetite has been insane lately.

Hey SKE,

Not sure what King can sell it for, or if he carries it.. but just for pricing info, it's only 10.99 here:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/mega.html

King can probably do even better.. or at least just as good if he carries it.

I've tried Hoodia with no results at all. I found ALCAR supresses my appetite pretty well. Also, I did a cycle of the DS NHA stack (ActivaTe plus Rebound XT) and as a bonus it killed my appetite quite a bit.

I've heard really mixed things about Hoodia, however I've heard many great reports about Synephrine. Primaforce Syneburn is a great value for money synephrine product, I haven't personally tried it yet, but I'd certainly give it a whirl. Otherwise you could try a thermo like MAN Scorch or Primaforce Thermal rage which have good appetite suppression reviews.

Does Ephredrine do anything for you?

Those are all good products for appetite suppression, but they are all stimulants, too.

Hoodia is not bad, but like it was said earlier, it has mixed reviews.

One that I stumbled upon on accident at a NPC show was a drink called Shredz from Science Foods. They are owned by ABB and ON. The mango passion flavour is awesome, and it actually did help limit my snacking. It didn't make me not want to eat my main meals, but it helped with the snacking. Check it out.

You could try some nootropics like ALCAR and vinpocetine. When I take them my appetite goes down considerably for the most part.
