Since Ephedra has been taken off the over the counter market for dieters, diet drug industries has been frantically searching for a new drug or supplement to aid in weight loss. Recently, Hoodia diet pills have become an excellent candidate for taking the place of Ephedra, and so far test results prove positive.

The difference between Hoodia diet pills and many other supplements, like Ephedra, is that the main ingredient of Hoodia Gordonii, Hoodia p57, is a naturally found ingredient that seems to mimic glucose allowing the brain to tell the body it is full. This is different from many other diet drugs on the market in that instead of act as a stimulant, which can be harmful to the circulatory system and the heart in large quantities, it simply works as a connector between the brain and the stomach.

What you should know before taking Hoodia diet pills

To date, there are few side effects associated with taking the diet pill, although it is not recommended for Diabetics or anyone having problems regulating glucose or insulin. This is because the diet drug will act as glucose, but isn’t and may cause a dangerous drop in the glucose levels, causing a Diabetic to become very sick.

Keep in mind, though, that tests have only recently begun over the extensive side effects and benefits of the diet pills. So far research proves that some who have taken the Hoodia Gordonii diet pill over a period of time have noticed a decrease in appetite of up to 1,000 calories a day.

The catch is that Hoodia Gordonii is a native South African succulent that looks extremely similar to other Hoodia species, as well as many other succulents in South Africa. Over the last few years as pure Hoodia has become well known for the Hoodia p57 active ingredient, the Western world has bombarded South Africa for requests to seek out the plant.

The problem is that many in the Western world who go searching for Hoodia p57 don’t know what they are looking for, so can easily be steered in the wrong direction, especially when money is involved. This means that many drug companies may think that they have been given pure Hoodia, but in fact may be given something that only looks similar or is a similar species.

Although there are a few cases of companies that believe they were selling the real diet drug, there are also many cases of those selling diet supplements claiming to have Hoodia Gordonii in the supplement, but they actually do not.

In either case, it is essential to do some research before purchasing the Hoodia diet drug. Although it has received great reviews, you don’t want to be paying good money for a drug that does not have the active ingredients necessary to help you suppress your appetite and lose weight. Six companies that were recently proven to have authentic Hoodia diet pills include Desert Burn, Hoodoba Pure, Hoodia Max, Ethno Africa, King Hoodia, and Dr. Wheeler’s Afrigetics.
