What is Hoodia Gordonii extract?
Hoodia Gordonii extract is a natural herbal supplement that is a member of the cactus family, though it is NOT a cactus. It is native to Southern Africa, namely the Kalahari Desert, where it thrives naturally in the wild. In its natural form, Hoodia Gordonii grows in clumps, with tan coloured flowers and thorns, and it actually has a pretty strong and unpleasant odour, which thankfully, is not present with the supplements. The supplement itself has been generating a look of interest recently, due to the fact that it can provide a whole host of benefits to the human body, particularly where weight loss is concerned.
How does it work?
Hoodia Gordonii extract is marketed as a weight loss supplement, because that is exactly what it does, it helps people to lose weight. Now, whereas other weight loss supplements are supposed to assist with weight loss by ramping up the metabolism and allowing the body to burn more calories and generate more energy, Hoodia Gordonii extract doesn’t function like that at all. The primary way in which hoodia is able to assist with weight loss, is down to the fact that it functions as a natural appetite suppressant, and it can therefore help restrict caloric intakes in human beings. It is rich in nutrients, fibre, and other natural goodness that help to suppress hunger, keep us feeling full for longer, and provide a whole host of other benefits in the process.
What are the benefits of using Hoodia Gordonii supplements?
Some of the primary benefits of hoodia gordonii extract supplements include:
Weight loss
As mentioned, the main benefit of this supplement is the fact that it can help you to lose weight. It contains natural ingredients that help to suppress hunger and therefore reduce our appetites. If we’re not hungry, and if we get full quicker, we eat less, and therefore consume less calories, which means that it is easier to enter a caloric deficit.
Less cravings
Sometimes, even if we’re feeling full, we still crave unhealthy foods that are full of fat and calories, and other unhealthy ingredients. Craving these foods can be torture, even if we are strong and don’t give in to temptation. Hoodia however, has been found to reduce hunger pains and cravings, making it much easier to diet and to stay in a caloric deficit.
It boosts immunity
Another fantastic benefit of Hoodia, is the fact that, as it is packed full of so many nutrients and healthy ingredients, that it can actually help to greatly boost the immune system, which in turn helps to keep us looking, feeling, and being, fit and healthy.
Other benefits include:
- Weight loss
- Suppressed appetite
- Less hunger pains and cravings
- A stronger immune system
- Improved mental health and well-being
- Healthy digestion
- Less stomach disorders
- All natural
- Easy to consume
How and when should it be consumed?
For optimal results, experts recommend consuming anything from 1500mg per day, up to 3000mg per day. For optimal results, consume before a meal, and as far as dosages go, that will depend on the strength of the supplements that you are using.
Hoodia Gordonii Extract VS Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia Cambogia is another natural herbal weight loss supplement that is proving very popular, and although similar, there are a number of vast differences between the two. To begin with, Garcinia cambogia is a fruit that has been found to assist with weight loss by increasing the metabolism and allowing the body to burn off more calories. Hoodia suppresses the appetite. Comparing the two would be like comparing chalk and cheese, as although they provide similar benefits, they both work in very different ways to one another.
What can it be stacked with?
Most users will simply stack this supplement with general health and well-being supplements such as: a multi-vitamin, an Omega 3 supplement, and Vitamin C with added zinc. Some users however, will stack it with natural Green Tea extract supplements.
