Hoodia has bee used for many years by south african bushmen to stave off the effects of hunger. Recently a 60 minutes special gave mass exposure to hoodia as a diet supplement and found it to be very effective without any side effects.

As obesity continues to grow all around the globe, people are all looking for ways to fight the epidemic. For many people were Hoodia is the solution for them. It is all natural and has no side effects.

Drug companies have tried to re-create the Hoodia compound synthetically but they have not found one yet. Until a synthetic version is available, the only real Hoodia available is the South African.

Even though, the upside is that natural Hoodia is available. It is rather expensive because it is a rare and limited supplied item, but it works and it doesn't take a whole lot to be effective.

While more tests are being done, reports of people using Hoodia for weight loss has been very positive. Again, there are no reported side effects and what Hoodia really does is work to curb a person's appetite.

Many companies are fighting to capture their piece of the market share of the Hoodia product. In addition, Hoodia is being used as an active ingredient in many weight loss supplements. Even though, it is the recommended to use pure Hoodia to get the maximum effect.
