A Guide to Hoodia Powder and the Hoodia Fat Burner
Are you sick and tired of other people and the media yapping
about the results they are getting from the hoodia fat burner
when you have pounds to lose and feel self-conscious about it?
Indeed, it seems like everytime you turn your head you are
hearing about hoodia and weight loss.
Millions of people have either read about hoodia or seen it
covered on such media sources as the Today Show, Oprah magazine,
the BBC, CBS 60 minutes and more.
After all the media soundbytes settle, you are left with a
myriad of questions....such as, what exactly is hoodia fat
burner and how do I find a quality hoodia product for myself?
These are natural questions and getting the proper knowledge is
important to minimize your chances of getting ripped off when
you buy hoodia powder supplements.
If you live outside of a cave (as most of us do), you'll have
probably not only seen the media coverage, but also noticed that
hoodia products are now appearing all over the Internet and even
being promoted unethically via spam.
How to make sense of it all?
Well, the first thing to bear in mind is that you must focus on
the quality of the product above all else. Forget the hype,
forget the testimonials (which are often fabricated), and just
stick to the facts and you'll have the best shot of sifting
through the hoodia labyrinth and finding a product that actually
delivers what it promises.
So what facts should you know before buying a hoodia product?
We thought you'd never ask....
Facts to know about hoodia fat burner:
The hoodia genus is comprised of many kinds of hoodia species,
but only the hoodia gordonii species contains the appetite
suppressing (and therefore weight loss and fat burning
properites) you're looking for.
Therefore, be cautious of any product that claims it contains
"pure hoodia" or "100% hoodia" when in fact it may be something
other than hoodia gordonii, and, therefore, useless to you if
you want to lose weight and burn fat.
Hoodia gordonii is a protected plant species, regulated in its
international trade. A Hoodia CITES certificate is required to
export it out of South Africa, the only place it natively grows.
Therefore, if you want to maximize your chances of getting
authentic hoodia gordonii, look for hoodia product sellers that
display a CITES certificate.
The only scientific studies to date have been conducted on the
active ingredient in the hoodia gordonii plant responsible for
its appetite lowering benefits. This active ingredient is called
P57.
Hoodia powder from sellers of hoodia based products do not
necessarily contain P57 -- or necessarily contain the same
amount of it from product to product and brand to brand.
Also be skeptical about hoodia product sellers who tout "made
from whole hoodia plant". This is because upwards of 40% of the
hoodia gordonii plant contains no active ingredient. Such parts
of the plant include: the flowers, the skin, the prickly spines,
the pulpy leaves, and more.
Only the core of the plant -- the flesh -- contains the active
ingredient that can help suppress your appetite.
If your product is made from "whole hoodia plant" it may sound
good, but you may be paying for hoodia powder that is, in
effect, 40% useless fillers that makes the product cheaper for
the seller, and much less effective for you.
Keep the aforementioned tips in mind and you will go a long way
in choosing amongst the so-called hoodia fat burners and finding
a product made from hoodia powder that delivers what you want.
