It is a spinaceous plant, similar to a cactus (although it is not exactly one), it comes from South Africa, specifically in the Kalahari desert (between Botswana, Namibia and South Africa), where temperatures are very high, around 45ºC.With a very slow growth between 5 and 7 years.From this plant the pulp of the bark and roots will be used.Once dehydrated and dry.This plant has been used by tribes for years (the SAN people are the main habitual users of it), to reduce the feeling of hunger when they went hunting and spent long periods in the desert.These tribes chewed small pieces of this cactus.It is a protected plant, so it can only be collected, treated and marketed by licensed people, although it is currently also produced industrially.The study and commercialization rights of the extract of this plant belong to the British laboratory PHYTOPHARM, together with the studies of African scientists.Pfizer laboratories have been studying the possibility of including the molecule in their products, although it is currently Unilever who is doing it.There are more than 13 different types of Hoodia, although only the Gordonii variety contains the active molecule P57, specifically a steroidal glycoside.This product is currently being produced industrially in China, achieving a significant price reduction, although it does not have exactly the same efficacy.According to studies, it is believed that this plant acts by mimicking the way in which glucose acts in brain cells, removing the feeling of hunger.So it is very useful in weight loss regimensIt is a molecule that has been baptized with the name of P57, it sends the signal to the brain that inhibits appetite and thus we achieve a decrease in caloric intake.It also helps to avoid the sensation of continuous pecking.The inhabitants of the SAN tribes also use it to relieve abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, hypertension and diabetes, although medical recommendations must be followed, especially with regard to blood sugars.It is important when we buy this product that we see that it contains a sufficiently effective amount of Hoodia, since being an expensive product, it is usually included in very little quantity in treatments or products to lose weight.A minimum of 200 mg per capsule is recommended, within a high percentage of it, although the effective dose is usually approximately 400mg / capsule, which is how the main manufacturers have them.Likewise, the origin of the plant, as I have already mentioned before, is authentic as it is an endangered species.Trade is controlled by the CITIES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), so you must have a certificate from this entity.As it does not contain stimulants, it does not have side effects, nor do they have any important side effects.People with insulin-dependent diabetes should monitor blood sugar levels if taking this supplement to prevent blood levels from falling too low.Hoodia suppresses hunger and the desire to snack but also thirst, so don't forget to drink even if you're not thirsty to avoid dehydration.As I mentioned before, there are quite a few brands of this product.It can be found in capsule, powder, liquid (concentrate), or tea form.And some with different combinations with burners and other weight loss supplements, although you have to look at the amount of Hoodia Gordonii that it contains if you are looking for the effectiveness of this product.We have to be careful when we buy this product through emails received as Spam, since the product they offer often does not have all the guarantees, which is why I always prefer to buy well-known brands even if they are a little more expensive.In addition to 200 mg of Hoodia dry extract, it contains 50 ug of Chromium, which in turn helps to inhibit sugar cravings.It contains a liquid extract of it, the extract is recommended in ¼ to 1/8 of a tablespoon of coffee one hour before meals mixed with a large glass of water.Contains 500 mg in capsules, hoodia gordonii stem extract, recommended 1 or 2 tablets before mealsIt also contains 500 mg of the extract, equivalent to 10,000 mg of the whole plant.Also 1 or 2 capsules before eating.Drops in the form of concentrated tincture, from a laboratory originating in the USA.Tags: bark, Gordonii, hunger, Hoodia, Hoodia Gordonii, Kalahari, PHYTOPHARM, SAN people, rootsHello Sony, thank you, how are you?how does your blog work?.A kiss.MeriI would like to know more information about the treatment of hemorrhoids with this plant (he hates neither fat nor).My mother is having a terrible time and we don't know what to buy her so she can get better.Thank you very much.Hello Alicia , what I tell in my post is that the African tribe that takes Hoodia also uses it for hemorrhoids as well as cramps and other abdominal pain , for hemorrhoids orally I recommend horse chestnut , since it improves capillary tone .A kiss, MaryHello, I took hoodia p57 for a while, but then it stopped having an effect, what I didn't know is that after a while it was good to take 2 pills, which product you talk about in the post is more efficient to reduce the desire to eat and anxiety??and where can i buy it?I'll wait for your answer, thank you so much.Hello Aurori, Hoodia works well to reduce the feeling of hunger.It acts at the digestive level, so it will not reduce anxiety if it is due to stress or nerves.For this it is better to take 5 hydroxy-tryptophan.There are many places where you can find Hoodia, most health food stores carry it.A kiss, MaryBut "5 hydroxy-tryptophan" is not hoodia??I took hoodia p57 and it went very well for me, that's why I wanted to take it again, to reduce the desire to eat, I control anxiety if I'm not hungry.Which of the products you speak of is more effective?Hello Aurori , Hoodia is not the same as 5 htp , but if it suits you , I advise you to continue with it , since it is a natural product without any risk .Most of the products I mention take away the feeling of hunger.The fibers are also doing very well.A kiss, MaryYes, I will continue with hoodia, but which of the ones you mention is more effective, the one I take is not any of those that you mention and put the photo.Hi Aurori , the brand that I refer to as Hoodia Chromium plus , I like it because it contains chrome and helps reduce hunger for sweets .A kiss, MaryBut it is the one that contains the least amount of hoodia, right?Sorry for so many questions.Hi Aurori , you do not have to worry about the amount of Hoodia , if the one you were taking was good for you , I think it is best to continue with it .A kiss, MaryIt was going well for me, but it stopped having the same effect after taking them for a while, although according to what I have read, the dose should be increased to 2 pills, I bought it in a place that does acupuncture and if I don't do it, they don't sell it to me , so I don't know where to buy it here in Spain, I'll give you the link so you can see what they are, you can still tell me if the ones you recommended are equivalent or not.Thank you very much.Hello Aurori, well, it doesn't seem very good to me, if you don't do the treatment they won't sell them.Worse for them! The one that appears with Chromium is very good and you can easily find it in herbalists and dietetic stores.A kiss, MaryHello Meri, how are you, I hope very well.I would like you to recommend something effective to reduce appetite.I don't stop eating and I think my problem is more anxiety, what about 5-hydroxy-tryptophan?Please tell me some commercial name and that I can find it in Spain.Thank you very much.A kissHi Yolanda , 5 HTP is going very well , the ideal dose is 100 mg , a dose that is not low , but enough to be effective .I have two products that I like , the one from the Natrol brand in capsules and the one from David Kirsch , which is in effervescent sachets and also has other components .Although these are not sold in Spain.Ask at the pharmacy and they will surely give you one.A kiss, MaryI would like to know if it is possible to take hoodia gordoni together with Lida DaidaiHua pills, they are natural and I am taking them, but they do not satiate me like hoodia.Thank you.Hello Aurori , the truth is that I do not know the pills you mention , but if Hoodia works for you , I think it is better that you stay with this one , or even increase the dose .A kiss, MaryOld version – Daidaihua extract – 55% – Cassia extract – 12% – Job's tears (Coicis extract) – 14% – Mulberry leaf extract – 15% – Medicinal amylum – 4%New version – Bitter Orange extract – 41% – L-carnitine – 4% – Indian Lotus – 11% – Alisma Orientalis – 18% – Cassia – 26%The truth is that I've only been here for 1 week and the truth is that maybe I'm asking for a lot and I want to lose faster than I'm losing... hoodia is that it satiated me a lot, in some meals it was very difficult for me to eat, since I didn't feel like it at all.Thank you very much for your reply.Hi Aurori, from what I see these pills act more than reducing hunger, stimulating energy combustion and eliminating.You can take them together with Hoodia without any problem.I hope they help you lose weight.A kiss, MaryI imagine that by combining them, I will achieve more effectiveness when it comes to losing the weight I want, right?I'm less hungry since I've been taking them, but they don't fill me up like hoodia and having done so many diets, I need to see faster results, so I don't get bored and give up, but I don't know how to do it, I need to lose 10 kg, although with 8 I I would conform, but I don't know what to do anymore, my body is very used to diets and I have to take some help.What do you advise me?Thank you very much for your answers, a kiss.Hi Aurori, aids like this type of pill work very well, but by themselves they don't work, we need less caloric intake, or more combustion.Although of course if you are not so hungry it is also easier to eat less, I understand.I think you have set a goal that is too important , it seems more logical to me to set a goal of 3 kilos , and when you have achieved it , set another goal for yourself .It will be easier for you. I like to combine burners like the one you take with some draining agent that will help you deflate.It is also very important that you get used to eating well, not snacking and if you do, try foods that are not fattening.What we have always heard, eating 5 times, is useful, but watch out!with what you eat.We are in a time when fruit is more appetizing, so take advantage of it!I await your comments if you have more questions or want some advice.A kiss, MaryHello, I bought the HOODIA CHROMIUM PLUS, but I saw that the other day on the program What a happy time, Meli Camacho talked about a raspberry syrup that helps you lose weight, it's called "Biocol Raspberry Ketone Liquid 500ml" It is on this page http://parafarmaciadeconfianza.es/shop/adelgazantes/biocol-raspberry-ketones-liquido-500ml/, I would like to know if I could take it together with hoodia or if they are not complementary and one would cancel the effect of another.I would also like you to recommend me something for the liquids, I have very fat arms and although I go to the bathroom a lot, you can see that it is retention.Hi Aurori , you can take them together , hoodia , it helps to suppress hunger , the other product is to help burn fat .I like ketones , but I think that it is still being promised more than necessary .You have to go on a diet, this alone will not make you lose weight.For liquids you need a drainer, from siken diet there is a product called diuridren and it will help you, above all, to mobilize liquids.A kiss, MaryThank you very much for your answer, I'm on a diet, but my body is too used to it and it no longer reacts the same, so I need something to help me, I don't eat any fat, or fried foods, a lot of vegetables, fruit, meat and fish , and at night I almost don't eat dinner, something very light and if one day I have to go too far, I make a meal only of fruit or lettuce, to compensate, I've lost almost 4 kg for 1 month, I'm slow, but as I tell you my body He is already too used to diets and it is very difficult for him to lose weight, I have another 4 or 5 kg left and I don't want to get bored, that's why I want to have something to help me.Hello Aurori , it seems good to me that you take something to give a boost to this diet that you are doing , 4 kilos is already very good in a month , congratulations .Do a little exercise and if you do, a little more energy will help you consume more if you are already getting used to the diet.A kiss, MaryHello Merirxell, as Aurori comments, I also saw the raspberry syrup at such a happy time, and since then I have thought about it, however I have doubts because I have Hashimoto's syndrome (thyroid) and I don't know if it is convenient to take it.Hello Gemma, this component does not affect the thyroid, although the one that appeared on the Mª Teresa Campos program, I don't know what other components it has, if it is only onion and bitter orange, there is no problem.A kiss, MaryI would like to know if it is more difficult to lose weight with a goiter, they are going to do an ultrasound, but they have told me that I have a very large thyroid and it is very difficult for me to lose weight, I have lost the kg that I told you about with some pills, but since I finished, I stagnate again, I eat the same, but nothing… what metabolism accelerator do you recommend?Hello Aurori, in goiter you usually have the largest thyroid gland, usually it tends to be hyperactive, but it can also cause hypothyroidism, so this can cause a slow metabolism and make it more difficult for you to lose weight.Many of the products that are made to stimulate the body can cause a stimulation of the thyroid that in no case suits you.That is why my advice is to use products that help you reduce your intake, I mean that they help you eat less or that you do not assimilate food as much.I advise you for this, products like hoodia or another fiber that fills your stomach and satisfies you, fasolina or orlistat.One to help you not assimilate so much carbohydrates and the other fats.A kiss, MaryThank you for your answer, my blood levels are fine, in a complete analysis, the level that appears of thyroid, comes out well, so they have not asked me for a more specific analysis, but when I told you that it was very difficult for me to lose weight, I felt and he told me that I had to go to the endocrinologist, since I had a large thyroid and now I have an ultrasound pending, but my question is if my blood levels are not altered, if it is because of this problem of having a large thyroid, so no I can lose weight normally.Hi Aurori then you don't have to worry.A kiss, MaryBut that can make it harder for me to lose weight?That is my big question.By the way, what do you recommend so that the metabolism goes faster and so I can lose weight?thanks for answering.A kiss.Hi Aurori, why don't you take Orlistat?It can help you absorb fewer calories.Those of fats and will help you lose weight.A kiss, MaryOk, but it's a bit expensive and I can't afford it right now, thanks anyway for your advice, although I'm still wondering if my big thyroid makes it hard for me to lose weight.Hi Aurori , it is not expensive at all , you can write to us , we have it in a master formula .A large thyroid, as I have mentioned, can cause hypothyroidism, if this is the case, if it can cost you to lose weight, however, it can also cause hyperthyroidism, which is totally the opposite.A kiss, MaryHello, the truth is that I don't understand, if my blood levels are fine, can hypothyroidism also occur?At this moment I am unemployed and now it is difficult for me to buy that product, how much can it cost me?Hello Aurori, if the blood levels of the thyroid hormone are correct, you do not have hypo or hyperthyroidism and this is not the reason why it is difficult for you to lose weight.I was talking to you about 38 euros.A kiss, MaryHi Merixell, I'm interested, where can I buy it and how much does it cost?Hello Nora , in some health food stores or through the Internet it is quite easy .A kiss, MaryHello!I wanted to know if you know the brand of Hoodia gordonii P57 and how it works.In turn, I wanted to know if this product can be combined with 5-htp.I was on prozac until recently but I want to get rid of antidepressant drugs and replace them with a natural option.I don't know if the effect will be the same, but if my mood lifts a bit, it's enough.I took prozac with a medical prescription and in my last consultation I told my doctor that I no longer wanted to depend on this drug, so two months ago I began to gradually stop taking it.Currently, I am not taking any antidepressants but the depression and anxiety attacks are coming back and I don't want to take it again.5-htp was recommended to me to see if it could counteract a little the effects of the lack of the drug but, in turn, I want to start taking Hoodia because, due to anxiety, many times I eat it (although most of the sometimes it is without hunger).Could you tell me if it is possible to combine them and what brands are the most recommended?I'm from Argentina and I only found them online.Greetings and thank you very much.Hello Sun, Hoodia does not have much of an effect against anxiety, although 5HTP does, which is why this product is preferable to replace an antidepressant.I recommend that you combine it with Konjac fiber better.A kiss, MaryHi how are things?I see that you make a point that they have a CITIES certificate. As it is difficult to know, it is best to buy it at your pharmacy.Are you sure it's the good one?😉 GreetingsHello, yes, the ideal is to buy it from a trusted site.A kiss, MaryOk merci, I'll come into your store for them, greetings 😉hello.If you can, I would like you to tell me if I can take Hoodia complex because I have just had a breast cancer and I am taking some pills (TAMOXIFEN)HELLO!VERY INTERESTING WHAT YOU PUT AND WHAT THEY ASKED, I HAVE A BIG DOUBT, I STARTED TAKING IT YESTERDAY, 2 CAPSULES OF 300 MG, 2 PER DAY HALF AN HOUR BEFORE LUNCH AND DINNER.THE HOMEOPATHY THAT SELLS IT IS THE MOST RELIABLE, SINCE IT HAS A VERY IMPORTANT TRAJECTORY HERE IN MY COUNTRY.THEY PACK IT, LIKE THE OTHER PRODUCTS, SO IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY KNOWN BRAND.THE CONSUTLA IS,….THERE IS ANOTHER I SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT IS JUST HOODIA AND IT IS 2000 MG,……..IT IS NOT MUCH????I PREFER TO START WITH 600 MG A DAY, LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES… BUT I'M WORRIED TO KNOW WHAT 2000 MG WOULD DO!!!THANK YOU!!!!Hello Nadia, there are many brands and being a natural product, the doses are also very different.I advise you to try it and on the fly you will see its effectiveness.A kiss, MaryHello Nadia.What country are you from Argentina?ass?If so, do you connect with homeopathy that you know?I would like to get the hoodia that you take.

From what I see, the preparations with Hoodia are very good. I would like to buy one to try but I am very afraid of buying a product that does not really meet the specifications. I am referring to its composition in a capsule. I do not know which one laboratory is trustworthy and which one is better not to buy.
