The active substance in Hoodia Slimming Patch is an extract from the African cactus Hoodia gordonii.

Hoodia gordonii grows in the Kalahari desert and has for a long time been used by the San people who chew the plant to suppress the appetite during hunting trips. In the 30s, Dutch anthropologists, who studied the San people, discovered these properties.

It’s believed that the brain perceives the active substance in Hoodia gordonii in the same way as glucose – the brain will think you’ve just eaten, preventing you from feeling hungry for several hours.

Hoodia Slimming Patch releases the active substance into to the body through the skin in the same way as a nicotine patch. According to the manufacturer this will ensure a moderate amount of Hoodia will enter the blood circulation over 24 hours.

The active substance in Hoodia Slimming Patch, Hoodia gordonii, has been proven to work in several clinical studies. In 2001, a group of overweight patients were given Hoodia pills and another group were given a placebo. The result showed that the patients taking Hoodia were much less hungry and ate about 1000 calories less per day compared to the group who received a placebo, even though both groups could eat as much as they wanted.

During clinical tests the test group were ingesting a certain amount of Hoodia. I haven’t found any tests showing how Hoodia patches work, where Hoodia enters the body through the skin. Neither have I found any tests for Hoodia Slimming Patch in particular.

Hoodia Slimming Patch contains pure Hoodia gordonii, and works by reducing hunger. There are however different kinds of diet products.

Popular pills increasing the fat burning processes are
– the more gentle: Lepigen X-strong and H.O.P.E,
– the more powerful (containing synephrine): Lepigen Superstrong,
– and the more long-term (containing wakame): Termoloss and Zenjaki (not sold in the UK at the moment).

There are also diet pills that block fat, or at least ensure the body cannot use all of it. These are: Proactol, Lipobind and H.O.P.E.

The third type of pills lower the Glycemic Index of the food. These are: DEcarb.

There are also diet pills (and patches) that suppress appetite, Hoodia Patch (Evolution), as well as those transforming fat into muscle, Evolution CLA.

The last type of diet pills cleanse the body through detox, and in that group we have 30 days.

The tests conducted show that Hoodia gordonii effectively suppresses appetite without any noticeable side-effects. However, it’s important to not forget to eat and drink enough when using Hoodia – since appetite is suppressed there is a risk that you will forget to eat. Also, there have not been enough studies to guarantee that Hoodia isn’t bad for the body in any way.

It’s recommended to vary the placement of the patch to reduce the risk of irritated skin which otherwise could be a side-effect.

There’s really only three things you should think about when using Hoodia Slimming Patch:

1. Vary the placement of the patch to reduce the risk of irritated skin.
2. Continue to eat regular meals. Listen to your body and eat smaller portions, stop eating when you feel full and not when the plate is empty. You need to remember to eat regularly and definitely not skip any meals since there’s then a risk of the body going into starvation and in the long run start gaining weight instead of losing it.
3. It’s wise to take a pill containing vitamins and minerals to reduce the risk of deficiencies

Every patch can be used for up to 24 hours. Apply it to the skin on a spot without hair and change it after 24 hours.

When applying a new patch, vary the placement of the patch to reduce the risk of irritated skin.

To exercise is always good, but it’s not necessary for Hoodia Slimming Patch to work.

1. Hoodia Gordonii’s effectiveness has been proven in clinical tests, so it does work.
2. Diet pills containing Hoodia work on the principle of partly suppressing the appetite, meaning you’ll lose many side-effects such as increased body temperature, sleep deprivation or an upset stomach that can come from using other types of diet products.
3. If you don’t like or have problems taking pills, a patch could be a good alternative to using diet pills.
4. To use Hoodia Slimming Patch for losing weight doesn’t require any changes in your lifestyle, neither diet nor exercise. You can continue to eat as you are used to, using the diet patch according to the directions and still lose weight.

1. If you’re hairy like a grizzly bear, you’ll have to shave a spot to place the patch on as it has to be placed on hair-free skin.
2. There’s a risk of the skin becoming irritated by patches that release substances into the skin. In that case it might be better to try pills that contain Hoordia Gordonii.
3. If hunger is not the problem for you – if you mostly eat for psychological reasons such as sadness, boredom or habit, then Hoodia Slimming Patch will not help you to lose weight. Since Hoodia Slimming Patch only helps you to feel less hungry, it’s still up to yourself to actually eat less.
4. It still hasn’t been proven that Hoodia lacks side-effects in the long run.
