Informative Articles + Hoodia News = The Hoodia Info Blog



It doesn't take a genius to figure out that lots of people are happy with the results they have achieved by using hoodia gordonii. One of my responsibilities as one of the editors of the Hoodia Info Blog is to read hoodia reviews, hoodia articles and hoodia testimonials. I have come up with an equation; hoodia review articles + hoodia testimonials = customer satisfaction. But, when it comes to hoodia herb combinations, there are some very strange products out there. The ingredients included in some of these products make me wonder if they really work for anybody.

First hoodia itself is not an herb. Many people are confused because it is sold by companies that sell herbs and other natural dietary supplements. Hoodia is a succulent plant native to the deserts of southern Africa. Many of the supplement companies sell a “hoodia herb combo” and depending on the ingredients, these may not be as effective at suppressing appetite as 100% hoodia products. Hoodia Gordonii+ is one of the better hoodia herb combos and there is a complete article devoted to the interesting herbs and plant extracts that this company added to hoodia gordonii concentrate in an earlier post.

One hoodia herb combo that we looked at recently contains something called Banaba leaf. You might think that this is a misspelling of banana, but Banaba is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It is also a tree. Banaba leaf has been used to lower blood glucose levels and the hoodia herb combo which contains Banaba leaf, just does not make sense to us. Hoodia gordonii is believed to affect nerve cells that monitor blood glucose levels, creating a false signal that blood glucose has increased. A hoodia herb comb which contains an ingredient that may lower blood glucose levels seems contradictory. Our conclusion; Banaba leaf + hoodia gordonii may not equal customer satisfaction.

It seems to take 100% genuine hoodia gordoni products at relatively high doses (750-1000mg) to effectively suppress most peoples appetites. This conclusion was arrived at by reading informal studies by doctors following patients using hoodia gordonii and by reading customer comments posted at sites dedicated to reviewing hoodia products. The purpose of the Hoodia Info Blog is to provide accurate information in a timely manner to assist customers in making decisions that they will be happy with. We have evaluated many hoodia herb combos and our best advice is as follows: First, consult your doctor before you buy any hoodia herb combo, certain ingredients can affect blood pressure and heart rate. Second, read the listed ingredients, if you don’t know what something is or what it can do, don’t buy it until you look it up. Third, there are many natural stimulants which have the same effect on the body as caffeine, refer back to the second suggestion.

We came up with these equation for the conclusion; informational articles + hoodia gordonii + doctors advice + reasonable diet + appropriate exercise + water = happy hoodia customers.
