Nowadays, hoodia is one thing which is on everybody’s mouth whether they are vendors or consumers. Everyone is curious to know that what hoodia actually is. Hoodia gordnii or popularly referred to as a cactus is a plant that grows wild in the deserts of South Africa. It is a succulent, something like Aloe Vera. Hoodia is an appetite suppressant which is the subject of some debate, but for the most part hoodia reviews are positive. Hoodia reviews are the comments of the consumers who used it but they are not always positive. Usually mentioned hoodia reviews refer to specific products and not to the overall effectiveness of hoodia as an appetite suppressant.
You’ll be amazed by the fact that there are at least 15 different varieties of hoodia. But only the hoodia gordonii species is believed to stifle appetite. The negative reviews may be of products containing some other variety of hoodia. While checking the authentication always makes sure there are two certifications that a dieter can look for to confirm that a product contains South African hoodia gordonii. Those two certificates are C.I.T.E.S. certificate and the Analytical Report. Majority of the products which are being displayed should carry these two certificates and should be published on their websites or package can be purchased with confidence.
Also some hoodia products carry additional ingredients, such as green tea. According to few health experts’ green tea is also considered to be a natural appetite suppressant, but contains caffeine which is a stimulant. Few people are bit sensitive to stimulants thus they may report a negative hoodia review if they are consuming products which carry green tea. But this combination may work wonders for others that’s why dietary supplements work on an individual basis. It is not necessary to try a product or a variety of products, before the best product for a specific individual is found. Try to read more hoodia reviews and also contact local physician before start consuming hoodia.
Manufactures which guarantee their products a positive hoodia review, sometime offer no guarantee that whether customers will accept that or not. Also many companies accept returns of opened bottles when a customer is dissatisfied and do not charge additional fees. However there are few websites also dedicated to comparing different products and publishing customer comments and reviews. These can be found by typing in the search term “hoodia reviews” or “hoodia review”. Somehow it is difficult to judge a product based solely on a customer’s hoodia review. This reason behind is that customer expectation is often unrealistic. Generally hoodia and other appetite suppressants only work when used in conjunction with a proper diet and reasonable exercise. As far as the information goes there is nothing that will help a person lose weight, if that person does not make any lifestyle changes. Hoodia is nothing but an appetite suppressant and it may also appear that a lot of people say that a specific hoodia product does not work. Thus, it is wise to read all the possible hoodia reviews so that you got to know that hoodia you’re going to consume is useful to you or not. And also it is wise to remember that satisfied customers often say nothing. Anyone who has worked in retail is aware that comment and suggestion boxes contain more negatives than positives. This may be the primary reason for negative hoodia reviews.

Do Hoodia Diet Pills Work? How?
The very first scientific investigation of the plant Hoodia was conducted at South Africa's national laboratory. It was included as a study of indigenous foods, since the San Bushmen eats Hoodia for 100,000 years.
"What they found was when they fed it to animals, the animals ate it and lost weight," says Dr. Richard Dixey, who heads an English pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm that is trying to develop weight-loss products based on hoodia.
San Bushmen from South African uses Hoodia to curb their hunger and thirst during long journey of hunting trips. Hoodia extracts has been used in producing Hoodia diet pills and have been shown to produce the same effects of reducing desire of food and drink. For such a wonderful thing, are there any side effects?
The 60 MINUTES report on CBS news that featured Hoodia, says: "Hoodia is very different from other diet stimulants like Ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia does not stimulate the body. In fact, scientists say it fools the brain by making you think you're full, even if you've just eaten a morsel."
The effect of Hoodia is very different from stimulants. Stimulants tends to make you feel awake and alert, but have no effect on your appetite. It tends to accelerate your heart rate and sometimes increase your blood pressure, for some people, the excess stimulation could leads to other health problems like insomnia, nervousness and more. Therefore, it is important to double check the ingredient in your diet pill to see if there is any stimulant; Hoodia Diet Pills should be void of stimulant completely.
How does Hoodia diet work? Research from Cambridgeshire bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm has shown that in the overall picture, p57 (the active molecule in hoodia diet pills) influences the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls satiation or the sense of fullness. P-57 misleads the brain and the body to believe that you have just eaten. Further more, it works by falsely leads the body to believe that your glucose level is high therefore, you have enough energy just being introduced to the blood stream, no need for food immediately.
Biochemically, the active component in Hoodia Diet Pills (p57) has shown to elevate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the blood stream. Scientist then extrapolates from this to form the following hypothesis that the high level of ATP is the key to the appetite suppression effect of Hoodia diet pills. A simpler explanation is the following: ATP is our body's energy source. When we eat food, our blood sugar level increase, then the cells in our body take the glucose and turn it into ATP in the mitochondria, which are then used as a source of energy. Therefore, hoodia diet pill (p57) works on increasing the energy level without increase intake of calories. With high energy in our body already, our central nerve system is happy to think that our body is taking care of, no need to send signal to our digestive system for more food.
