The Truth About Hoodia

Hoodia has quickly gained popularity as a weight loss aid since it came into the U.S. supplement market in 2004.  Studies show that hoodia gordonii boosts metabolism and provides safe appetite control to help lose weight without side effects.  It can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Because hoodia gordonii is protected under CITES (convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), quality hoodia products should be certified by CITES, guaranteeing that it is cultivated and not wild-picked. 

Please be aware that there are numerous inferior products that contain a wide variety of fillers, or contain hoodia species, other than hoodia gordonii, that have no appetite suppressing actions.  These products are marketed as if they are pure hoodia. 

Because of this rash of inferior products, consumers should be cautious when choosing hoodia products.  Many online products and products made in other countries, especially China, are problematic because differing labeling practices and regulations make it hard to know what is actually in the product.

There is a superior hoodia product that I am very happy to recommend .

The hoodia in Leantain, manufactured by Health Concerns, a professional herb company,  comes from one of only three suppliers approved for export from southern Africa, and is CITES-CERTIFIED.  Health Concerns also has its hoodia certified as to genus and species by an independent lab, and once it gets to the U.S., Health Concerns thoroughly tests the hoodia for pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins.  Health Concerns also verifies that the local San people are being employed in and benefiting from the production of the hoodia product used in Leantai

1. Taken before meals it functions as a natural appetite suppressant, with calorie burning effects.  One of the principle ingredients contains steroidal glycosides which appear to fool the brain into thinking the stomach is full.
2. Leantain has antioxidant effects and helps maintains fluid balance.
3. Leantain supports healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin response.
4. Reduces appetite and promotes physical energy.

Internal: 1 to 2 tablets twice per day, 45 minutes before eating with at least 8 oz. of water
700 mg, 60 tablets, 30-60 day supply

Ingredients: Green tea extract containing 210 mg of catechins per tablet, Hoodia gordonii extract (20:1), acia gum

Human and animal experiments confirmed that Hoodia gordonii leads to lower dietary caloric intake, and promotes weight loss. Clinical experiments have shown that both humans and animals will restrict their calorie intake when Hoodia is taken orally.  One hypothesis is that steroidal glycosides act directly on the hypothalamus, triggering a message that blood glucose is high. Hoodia is traditionally used by the San Bushmen, as a staple to be used in times of famine. It has also been used to promote energy during hunting expeditions.

Health Concerns Hoodia has been thoroughly tested and extracted. As there are over twenty Hoodia species Health Concerns certifies that they use only approved Hoodia gordonii. It is cultivated in approved farms where the people of the Kalahari receive financial benefit. Hoodia gordonii is also traditionally used to treat digestive disorders and diabetes, and for its aphrodisiac qualities.
 

Studies have shown that taking 690 mg a day of green tea catechins per day for twelve weeks reduces body weight BMI, waist circumference, body fat mass and subcutaneous fat; (4 tablets per day of Leantain contains 720 mg of catechins). Green tea is associated with thermogenic, insulin regulating, and cholesterol lowering effects. Laboratory research indicates Green tea extracts containing ECGC are associated with reduced food intake, body weight, glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Acacia Gum is traditionally used to relieve hunger; it is also contains fiber which in turn helps promote regularity.
Leantain should be combined with exercise, stress reduction and healthy diet.  Being overweight is associated with insulin resistance, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.

Greenexcellent is proprietary decaffeinated green coffee extract.
1. Promotes weight loss, reduces blood glucose, increases lean mass
2. Reduces fats from adipose tissue, increases glucose sensitivity, antioxidant activity

Administration: 1 tablet twice per day with meals

There have been two clinical trials with Greenexcellent. The first study evaluated the effects of Greenexcellent on blood sugar concentration; a second study evaluated the effects on the lean mass to fat mass (LM/FM) ratio.

In the first study, fifteen healthy volunteers took part in the trial. During the six weeks of the trial subjects did not change their dietary habits or their participation in physical exercise. Blood sugar concentration was measured with a glucose tolerance test. The first measurement was made without prior administration of Greenexcellent; the second was made after administration of Greenexcellent. Each individual received three tablets per day, one each in the morning, mid-day, and at evening. Each tablet contained 200mg of Greenexcellent. A reduction in blood sugar concentration was observed in 60 percent of the subjects, corresponding to a mean reduction in blood sugar concentration of 50 percent. In addition, the mean weight loss was slightly over 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) after six weeks of treatment.

The next study was a double blind placebo controlled clinical study with fifty people with a BMI greater than 25, between nineteen and seventy-five years of age. Thirty patients were administered 2 pills per day during their main meals, each containing 200mg of Greenexcellent. The remaining patients took a placebo under the same conditions. After sixty days, the placebo group lost 3 percent of their body weight, the active group lost almost 6 percent of their body weight, corresponding to mean reduction weight of 10.93 lbs. in the active group and 5.39 lbs. in the placebo group. Due to the significant reduction in weight in the active group, a significant decrease in the BMI was observed. Greenexcellent induced a significant increase in lean mass, while the placebo group only showed a slight increase. The conclusion is that Greenexcellent is capable of significantly reducing the BMI and reduces weight and blood glucose in overweight individuals at a recommended dosage of 400mg per day, corresponding to two tablets of Greenexcellent.

Greenexcellent is more than a coffee product. It is a patented extract from a specific variety of green coffee beans that is rich in chlorogenic and 5-caffeoyliquinic acid. It is decaffeinated, and does not contain allergens or impurities. With a proven ability to reduce blood sugar, body weight, and significantly increase lean mass, Greenexcellent is an excellent addition to a weight loss program including exercise and a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.

Leantain is particularly indicated for reducing cravings and appetite, Greenexcellent is useful for lowering blood sugar and has been clinically proven to lower weight and increase lean mass. The two products can be combined if desired.  Leantain is best taken before meals, Greenexcellent is designed to be taken with meals.
