The Unique Forms of Hoodia

Hoodia is a safe, effective and natural way to shed those excess pounds. This popular appetite suppressant, used by celebrities such as Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, is available in many forms. In fact, it is even rumored that Britney Spears was seen sucking on hoodia lollipops to lose a few pounds.

Hoodia Pills, Capsules and Tablets

The most commonly used form of hoodia are pills. Hoodia pills are made several different ways with a varied composition. Usually hoodia pills are swallowed with water one or more times daily, depending on the amount of the active ingredient in them. Pure hoodia pills use only natural hoodia gordonii but it is also important to know the part of the plant used to make the supplement. The core of the hoodia plant is far more effective than the skin, roots or surface. Other diet pills claim to be made from P57, the active ingredient, but isolating this element from hoodia is very difficult and industry leader such as Pfizer and Phytopharm was unable to do it so these claims are questionable. There are also pills made from extracts of hoodia, which have not been proven to be more effective than pure hoodia pills. Adding elements such as green tea to hoodia has not been proven to be more effective or harmful but you will only know the true effects of hoodia if you take it in its purest form.

Liquid Hoodia

Hoodia can also be taken in a liquid, concentrated or extract form in much the same way as diet pills to suppress your appetite. Plants in their natural form are more effective than their juice or extract. The base liquid used to produce a hoodia supplement and whether the hoodia is in its pure form or dissolved are considerations when buying liquid hoodia.

Hoodia Powder

Hoodia powder is not as powerful as pills or liquid but can be conveniently dissolved in other health products such as green tea to combine weight loss techniques.

The Patch

You can put on a hoodia patch in the morning and forget about it all day other than your diminished appetite. Much like other transdermal patches, the hoodia patch sends small quantities of the active ingredient into your bloodstream throughout the day. After 24 hours, you take off the old patch and put on a new one.

Candy and Goodies To Lose Weight

Hoodia is also available in user-friendly forms that are less potent than pills, powders and liquids. People who prefer portable, tasty weight loss supplements can use hoodia coffee, tea, candy, chocolate fudge bars, lollipops and shakes to suppress their appetites throughout the day.

No matter which product form of hoodia you choose, they are all a safe, effective and natural way to lose weight. Make sure to carefully follow the directions on the hoodia you buy and if you have any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor right away.
