General Hoodia Gordonii Questions:

Q. What is Hoodia? Known as Hoodia Gordonii or "Hoodia" for short, Hoodia is a Succulent botanical which resembles a "cactus" and is part of the Genus: Trichocaulon and belongs to the Family Name: Asclepiadaceae.

Q. Where do you get your Hoodia from? We import 100% Hoodia Gordonii powder from an exporter in Cape Town, South Africa. Hoodia Gordonii is grown in South Africa under commercial cultivation in compliance with South African Government laws.

Q. What type of Hoodia do you use? There are two types of Source materials available to manufacturers of Hoodia supplements. The first is 100% Hoodia Gordonii Powder and the second and more commonly used type is what is known as a 20:1 Extract. When we were evaluating which type of Hoodia to use we begin to hear reports that the 20:1 Extracts were not as effective as the 100% powder and so while on the surface the term "20:1" sounds like a more potent blend of Hoodia this is not the case as some well known Weight Loss products have found out when they chose to use the extract. We use 100% Hoodia Gordonii powder as we believe it to be the best source material to use if one hopes to realize the benefits that Hoodia can provide.

Q. I thought Hoodia was owned by one company and not commercially available? This is absolutely incorrect. Hoodia has been around since time began. It has been used for thousands of years by tribes like the San Bushmen of the Kalahari. Several years ago a group of South African Scientists discovered that the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which they dubbed "P57". They sold the rights to their research to the British Pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm (see source). which developed a extract of the plant and began clinical trials. In 1998, the Pfizer corporation took interest in the product and reportedly paid in the neighborhood of up to $32 million for the right to the research from Phytopharm. (see source). Word has it that they backed out at some point and the rights reverted back to Phytopharm who continues to pursue developing a commercial extract of Hoodia Gordonii. The Hoodia Gordonii plant can take several years to grow and because it is a rare plant which grows in the wild, a number of growers saw the commercial potential in this plant and setup farms whereby they began to commercially develop the rare plant in order to be able to provide sustainable quantities of the material to consumers. We work with licensed exporters of Hoodia Gordonii who work under permit from the South African Government.

Q. What ingredients are used in HoodiaRush ®? 100% Hoodia Gordonii Powder which is encapsulated into 750mg per serving (2 capsule serving), 60 capsules per bottle. There are two minor trace ingredients which are present in 99% of all Nutritional Supplements which are added in a very minute amount as excipients. Gelatin which is a standard ingredient used to make the capsule and Magnesium Stearate and Stearic acid are minor excipients added to the process to enable encapsulation to occur smoothly. Take a look at the back panel of the product.

Q. So you use Real Hoodia Gordonii Powder but how much of the active molecule in "P57" is present? This answer is unknown. We plan to conduct clinical testing to see if this can be quantified when tests are available that can easily identify the molecule. What is generally believed is that "More" is better with the Hoodia Gordonii plant and this is why we decided to offer double the amount of Hoodia capsules than most competitors and we advocate consuming between 3-4 grams of powder per day for best effect.

Q. Am I guaranteed to see an "appetite suppressing" effect by taking your product? The anecdotal reports certainly look promising but we cannot make any claims as to the efficacy of Hoodia Gordonii, only that we strive to offer you the best source material currently available.

For some individuals a box will last 30 days, for others it will last slightly less. With the hunger stopping power of HoodiaRush, you can be sure your diet dreams will be realized!

Q. Are there any side-effects to taking Hoodia? There are no known side effects to using Hoodia Gordonii.

Q. Is HoodiaRush ® EPHEDRA Free? There are no ephedra or other stimulants in HoodiaRush ®.

Q. Can I pop one pill and expect to lose weight? If you want to lose weight it is really quite simple. Reduce caloric intake and increase exercise. Hoodia Gordonii can be a weapon in your arsenal in the fight to stay lean as it may help to reduce hunger cravings which will lead to less caloric intake.

In any program that you are considering starting to lose weight you should first consult with your doctor to ensure there is no danger in your particular situation.

That being said if you want to lose weight any supplement that you decide to take should be accompanied by eating a sensible diet and engaging in some form of regular exercise.

We believe the best regimen available is one which involves cutting out junk foods from fast-food restaurants and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and lean cuts of meats.

Cut back on your carbohydrate intake as carbs convert to sugar and into fat stores in the body.

You should also consider drinking more water and one formula for determining how much to take is to take your body weight and divide it by 2 and drink that number in ounces of water each day.

Example: You weight 180 lbs, / 2 = 90 ounces of water.

Water will re-hydrate your body, speed fat loss and flush your toxins from your system.

Try walking 1-2 miles per day. This is one of the best forms of exercise available and is low impact for most people.

The goal with the Hoodia Gordonii supplement is to help you control your hunger and thus reduce your caloric intake per day.

Q. Do I need a prescription to use HoodiaRush ®? No you do not. Because HoodiaRush ® is an all natural nutritional supplement containing only the finest Hoodia Gordonii available so there is no need to obtain a prescription.
