Will New Hoodia Product Restore Consumer Hope?
If the world is not skeptical enough about hoodia gordonni and the claims made about it, they may be now. So much controversy surrounds this natural appetite suppressant source even though new products are still being released.
However much of this is probably because of all of the hype surrounding supposed “real” hoodia products. Therefore, many people doubt whether or not this plant source could be a viable remedy for eliminating unwanted pounds.
Nevertheless, new remedies are still being re-invented and marketed. However, of course only a few actually make it to the public.
New Product Development
Phytopharm in Britain is currently working on a new product that contains the extract from the h. gordonni plant. This product is expected to be available in the second half of the year, at least locally.
Of course, there always is the possibility of possible fraud when it comes to releasing new diet supplements. However, when manufacturers of products are dealing with real South African hoodia they are abiding by very strict guidelines.
Besides, the export activity of this plant is highly monitored as well. Companies who want to sell any product that includes this natural plant source are required to be properly licensed in order to sell it.
One Main Characteristic of “Real” Hoodia
The real vs. fake hoodia contains P57, which is the active ingredient that is responsible for suppressing the appetite. This ingredient comes from varieties of cactus plants that originate from the Ceres-Karoo, Northern Cape, and Kalahari regions.
The P57/hoodia ingredient has become one of the most popular weight loss aids today. This is partly because it works and has even been featured on lengthy news reports. However, it also is because users suffer far less side effects from it than using other products which could even result in death.
