The Hoodia Weight Loss Study

BACKGROUND: Obesity is the #1 health concern in the USA. Obesity is responsible for multiple physical and mental conditions.

Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent plant that grows throughout the semi-arid areas of Southern Africa primarily in the Kalahari Desert. The San people have traditionally used Hoodia stems to stave off hunger when they set out on long journeys for food to be brought back to their families. The Hoodia acts as an appetite suppressant. The active ingredient of the Hoodia succulent cactus was identified by the council for Scientific and Industrial Research in South Africa (CSIR) and patented.

Hoodia Gordonii is completely safe and contains no stimulants.

Hoodia Gordonii, like most natural products, can vary from lot to lot in raw materials. The only way to standardize the pure form from the Kalahari Desert is by certification. A certification standard labeled DEX-L10 is utilized. Materials meeting this standard are rigorously inspected and tested to insure their origin and species. The South African government harvesting permits, microscopic, macroscopic liquid thin layer chromatography from known specimens to identify and categorize materials utilizing the branding of the DEX-L10 seal.

Hoodia Gordonii works within the satiety center of the brain by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose but up to 100 times stronger. The Hypothalamus receives this signal as an indication that enough food has been consumed and this in turn decreases the appetite.

STUDY DESIGN: Seven (7) participants where categorized as overweight. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 or more. A BMI of 30-39 is considered obesity and a BMI of 40 or greater is considered severely obese.

The requirements of each participant where as follows:

• Each participant was required to eat a balanced breakfast with a multivitamin supplement in the AM.
  
• Each participant was required to take 2 Hoodia Gordonii DEX-L10 capsules daily. The first capsule, 1-hour prior to lunchtime with 8 ounces of water and the second capsule 1 hour prior to dinner with a minimum of 8 ounces of water.
  
• Each participant was required to have their weight recorded on days 0, 7, 14, and 28.

The product has not been shown to interact with any other medications being taken. No major side effects have been reported. No other weight loss products were taken during the 28-day study. Each participant was instructed not to alter his or her dietary habits. All participants utilized One (1) Detecto scale. Each weight was checked by Dr. Goldfarb to ensure quality control and accuracy. All weights were entered at the time of weigh in.

RESULTS: Compliance of the participants was excellent. All patients did not alter their dietary habits and/or their daily activity during the 28-day study.

• Average deviation 0.8% from average body weight loss. This shows very little variation.
  
• On average the body weight loss is 3.3%.
  
• Median is 10 pounds of weight loss over the 28-day study.

CONCLUSION: This study clearly demonstrates that the median weight loss over 28 days is 10 pounds. This weight loss is considered a healthy weight loss. A majority of participants interviewed stated that their caloric intake decreased to less than half in only a few days of being on the Hoodia Gordonii DEX-L10 product.

No side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jitteriness, or change in sleep habits were reported.

The benefit of Hoodia Gordonii DEX-L10 justifies its daily use in the treatment of obesity.
