New Hoodia Patch Promises Easy Weight Loss
It's short, green, stubby, and grows only in the
Kalahari Desert of South Africa. It is the African
cactus-like plant called hoodia . Because it is reported to
be an effective appetite suppressant, the weight loss
supplement industry is developing several products such as a
hoodia patch.
The demand for a hoodia patch is high. You have only to look
at the avalanche of diet books, pills, and supplements to see
that overweight people will buy almost anything promising
easy weight loss. Recent media coverage has introduced the
promise of an effective hoodia patch to the world.
Unfortunately, the availability of hoodia for making a hoodia
patch or other hoodia weight loss supplement is limited.
The primary appetite suppressant of the hoodia patch is very
hard to recreate in the laboratory. The ability to create
large supplies of the appetite suppressing ingredient of the
hoodia patch would make any diet company rich. This means
that the active ingredient in the hoodia patch at this time
can only be obtained directly from the hoodia plant. Because
the only place where hoodia can only grow is the Kalahari
Desert of Southern Africa, the plants needed to make a hoodia
patch are protected internationally.
P57 is the name given to the magic substance in the hoodia
patch. Hoodia weight loss products such as the hoodia patch
seem to work by telling the brain that the stomach is full.
The inhabitants of the Kalahari, who discovered the plant
used in the hoodia patch, have eaten the raw plant for
centuries to curb hunger. A major news network sent a
reporter to the Kalahari to report on the plant in the hoodia
patch. The reporter ate the hoodia plant and reported no
thirst or hunger for a full day. Much of this is word of
mouth evidence about the effects of a hoodia patch and much
research is needed to confirm these findings.
A patch is a relatively new method for delivering a
sustained, controlled dosage of a substance. In the case of a
hoodia patch, the user would apply the patch to an area of
skin. The hoodia patch would contain the active hoodia
appetite suppressant P57. The P57 would be absorbed by the
user through the skin contact of the hoodia patch. Once the
hoodia ingredients in the hoodia patch were gone, the user
would replace the hoodia patch with a new patch.
There is still much work to be accomplished before a fully
proven hoodia patch is available. Companies are working on
the hoodia patch and related products. Hoodia farms are being
started to grow the plant in bulk. Research continues to
produce a laboratory substitute for the main ingredient in
the hoodia patch. Meanwhile, diet supplement buyers of the
hoodia patch or related products should read the ingredients
with care before purchasing.
