Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I've been looking into this as well. Unfortunately, what I have learned is that there has been more Hoodia sold in the US, than has actually been imported --- meaning that not all products claiming to contain Hoodia, do. Otherwise, I've heard great things, but am not willing to try and figure out which product is the " real " one.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 We carry hoodia at work. I haven’t looked into this in any depth, but I can ask on Tuesday when I go back, and ask what brands we carry, and how effective it is. Dave I've been looking into this as well.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Maureen Rogers (Herbalpedia.com) wrote an article for the upcoming issue of The Essential Herbal about Hoodia. There has not been a huge amount of research done as yet, but, to quote the article: " A clinical trial conducted by a company called Phytopharm demonstrated that repeat dose administration of large doses of Hoodia gordonii extract caused a statistically significant decrease in daily calorie intake. By day 15 the calorie intake had decreased by approximately 1000 kcal per day. The reason seems to be an ingredient called P57. The license to develop and extract P57 was licensed to a bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, who in turn sold the development and marketing rights to Pfizer Corporation. " I've read that there has been more Hoodia sold in the US than has actually been imported. I've also tried the products of 2 different companies. Eh... maybe a slight difference. The story about the people going without food for days reminds me of similar stories that were told regarding Guarana back in the 90's. That contained a lot of caffeine. This has no stimulant whatsoever - at least that I could discern.
