Only 400-750mg per capsule

A recent discovery, Hoodia is set to become the most sought after botanical ever. Looking at it you could mistake it for a cactus but it is actually a rare succulent that grows naturally in only one place on Earth - South Africa. Hoodia has been used for centuries by the indigenous people of the Kalahari Dessert to stave off hunger, but its beneficial effects only became widely known through out the rest of the world when researchers discovered a molecule known as P57. It was with this discovery that the Global media began to take interest. Hoodia Gordonii and its impact on hunger became popular news around the world culminating in a special report aired on CBS 60 Minutes in November 2004. Since then, thousands of people around the world have used Hoodia in one form or another and to great success. Anecdotal and preliminary evidence provided by the many users of Hoodia and the medical giants Phytopharm and Pfizer, have suggested that consumption of Hoodia Gordonii reduces appetite by up to 1000 calories a day. As a result, it is fast gaining a reputation as the greatest appetite suppressant of all time.
 

Pureclinica™ are one of the very few companies in the world that are able to source their Hoodia direct from South Africa. Most other companies source from either America, China or India, and in doing so cannot guarantee that the active molecule found in natural Hoodia is even present. Only Hoodia harvested in Africa and from natural (not genetically grown) crops can be guaranteed to contain P57. By sourcing direct from South Africa, pureclinica™ ensure that the quality and content of the active molecule - P57 - is guaranteed to be the most effective possible.
Further, in order for Hoodia to work as an appetite suppressant, large quantities need to be consumed. 500mg of raw powder as found in most Hoodia supplements is simply not enough. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari who have used Hoodia for centuries consume whole Aerial or stems of Hoodia. This equates to approximately 100-150 grams. Pureclinica™ Hoodia is concentrated using patented technology and processes, ensuring that it contains 40 times the active molecule of regular Hoodia powder. Every Hoodia Ultra Dose capsule contains the equivalent of 40 grams of Hoodia so in order to consume the recommended dose, you need only take 3 capsules.

Hoodia is popular for one reason - it works. Currently, no conclusive scientific data exists to prove exactly how Hoodia Gordonii and the active molecule P57 works to suppress appetite, but preliminary trials have found that it activates a part of the brain that tells the body it is full. Normally this action is controlled by glucose in the blood. It has been found that P57 is up to 10,000 times more effective then Glucose at stimulating this part of the brain and so it is this action that is believed to be the cause of the effects on appetite people taking Hoodia experience.
The first human clinical trial conducted on Hoodia revealed that by day 15, the P57 molecule could reduce food intake by approximately 1000 kcal per day. In addition, there was also a significant reduction in body fat content [1].

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Hoodia?
Hoodia is a succulent plant that grows naturally in South Africa. It resembles a cactus and contains an active molecule that has been keeping hunger at bay for the San Bushmen native to the desserts of the Kalahari for centuries. See above for a more in depth description of Hoodia.

How much needs to be consumed for it to work?
As yet very few clinical trials have been done on this but what evidence their is suggests that you must consume at least 3-6 grams per day. However, when Hoodia is consumed raw and in plant form, most people safely eat around 100-150 grams. A daily serving of Hoodia Ultra Dose contains 3 grams of concentrated Hoodia Extract, the equivalent of 120 grams of raw Hoodia.

Where do you source your Hoodia?
We are one of the few companies in the World that source our Hoodia direct from South Africa.

Will Hoodia work for me?
The evidence and anecdotal reports suggest that most if not all people will see an effect. However, as little research has been concluded, we cannot make any guarantees. We can only guarantee to offer you the best possible source and quality hoodia supplement available, giving you the best possible chance.

Are there any side effects?
No. There are no know side effects to our knowledge.

I have heard that regular Hoodia powder is better then concentrated extract. Is this true?
We have found no evidence to support this and believe that it is nothing more then a marketing ploy to sell cheaply made hoodia supplements. Concentrated Hoodia extract contains the same raw Hoodia powder, but with most of the in-active parts such as the thick outer skin removed. The end result is a raw Hoodia powder that contains more of the active part then before.
