Hoodia Gordonii has received a lot of attention recently and has quickly become of the most popular weight loss products in the world. Back in 2004 Hoodia Gordonii was only used by a handful of very knowledgeable weight loss enthusiast, and of course the Sans Bushmen who were the first to discover Hoodia Gordonii and had been using it for centuries. Then major TV networks began airing stories on Hoodia Gordonii, Oprah spoke about Hoodia Gordonii on her show and the plant was mentioned in her magazine "O". Suddenly the demand for Hoodia Gordonii skyrocketed. The one problem with this is that the farmers of Hoodia Gordonii were not prepared for the sudden increase in popularity and there was not nearly enough Hoodia gordonii in the world to fill the new demand. Hoodia Gordonii is part of a family of many hoodia plants but is the only one which contains the active ingredient P-57 which suppresses appetite. Many companies started using forms of the plant other than Hoodia Gordonii and marketing their products as hoodia, which it technically is. When buying the natural weight loss supplement you should not only be careful that you are getting a pure extract, but that it is a pure extract of Hoodia Gordonii. One of the best ways to be sure it is Hoodia Gordonii, is that the company should be able to provide you with a CITES certificate upon request. This is a certificate which is attached to all Hoodia Gordonii which leaves South Africa, the only place where Hoodia Gordonii is being grown and harvested.

There is a bit of disagreement about if hoodia pills or the hoodia spray is more effective. The hoodia pills while not always pure hoodia, can come in that form. The spray is almost never pure hoodia like the hoodia pills are. When you take a hoodia pill you also don't have to suffer through the terrible taste that you would with the liquid.

Unless you have incredible will power, appetite suppression is going to be necessary for your diet to succeed. There are certain simple things you can do for this like filling your stomach with water or cabbage, which result in temporary appetite suppression. For more effective and long term appetite suppression there are two types of herbal appetite suppressants to consider. The first is a green tea extract, which can offer moderate appetite suppression but unfortunately works because of all the caffeine in it. This means that the appetite suppression will come at the price of jitters and occasionally insomnia. The other natural option for appetite suppression is Hoodia; which works in a different way than a stimulant like caffeine. Instead, it offers appetite suppression by making the brain think that levels of sugar in the body are very high, and it shuts off the hunger sensation because it believes you have just eaten a large meal. With no side effects or health risks, this makes Hoodia the best option for appetite suppression.
