The San (Kung) Bushmen can trace their heritage back more than 27,000 years based on rock paintings and are one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, and they have known about the properties of Hoodia Gordonii for thousands of years.In an interview with ABCNEWS, a spokesman for the San people who live in the Kalahari Desert, Andries Steenkamp says, "I learned how to eat it from my forefathers," as he prepared a piece of the cactus-like plant called hoodia by trimming off the prickly spikes. "It is my food, my water, and also a medicine for me." "Hoodia stops hunger and also treats sickness," Steenkamp told ABCNEWS. "We San, use the plant during hunting to fight off the pain of hunger and thirst." World Health Organization reports that Globesity is rapidly becoming the biggest threat to westerner's health. According to the WHO, more than 1 billion people are overweight with 300 million of those clinically or morbidly obese (double their normal weight). The medical community reports excessive weight gain is directly related to severe medical problems including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and the onset of strokes.Reports say that over the next 5 years, deaths related to obesity will increase by 20% in keeping with a reported 20% increase in plus-size coffin sales over the last 5 years in the USA.Hoodia Gordonii is available in a one-month supply of 60-200mg capsules by mail order or bulk powder for the wholesale market.

Dosage is from 400mg to 800mg per day.Contact:Jen Cully ? 1-800-416-3147/1-905-623-9239Fax: 1-905-623-0728Email: e-mail protected from spam bots.

In our efforts to provide a better product for the consumer, we are using a 20:1 Hoodia Gordonii extract which of course is very expensive, but also 20 times more powerful than the regular whole plant" Maiullo saidProduct formulator and Chief Science Officer Pete Maletto explained "I have seen the clinical research on Hoodia and it takes a good dose to become effective at reducing appetite, so we felt it was important to go with a product that the consumer can feel the effects. With that in mind we combined Hoodia with other natural ingredients like Decaffeinated Green Tea Extract with EGCG which can provide a one-two punch and makes WARP 9 Caffeine Free even more effective."Green Tea Extract and it's EGCG polyphenol content has been studied by reducing appetite by positively affecting appetite reducing leptin levels. Besides affecting these leptin levels, green tea also increases noradrenaline levels. Noradrenaline is a chemical neurotransmitter that plays a major role in activation of brown fat tissue (BAT), which is the only metabolically active fat in the human body. Activation of brown fat by increased noradrenaline levels is significant because it burns calories from the white fat located around our waistline, hips and thighs.

Maletto said WARP 9 Caffeine Free is like taking four products in one. It utilizes other clinically proven weight loss ingredients like 5 HTP and L-Phenylalanine that also reduce hunger signals in the brain telling the consumer that they are full quicker. "We wanted a product with multiple benefits that anyone could take, so we removed the caffeine and powered it up with a really powerful Hoodia Extract and other beneficial ingredients to make up the difference."The result of WARP 9 Caffeine Free has been astounding to say the least. Initial testing of the product found that the patent pending combination reduced appetite dramatically. The powerful Hoodia Extract in WARP 9 Caffeine Free is just one of the important weight loss advancements in the formula.

It also combines other natural ingredients with benefits of Green Tea (EGCG) that provide the nutrients to produce an even greater impact on weight loss for the consumer..

The San Tribe is one of the oldest living tribes in the world. They have successfully used Hoodia Gordonii as an appetite and thirst suppressant in times of hunger, or when they needed to travel long distances without eating. Other tribes in Africa, such as the Anikhwe in Northern Botswana, the Hai Tribe from Northen Namibia, and the Khomani tribe from northwestern South Africa have recorded using Hoodia Gordonii in their tribal rituals, as a medicine and as a food supplement.The plant appears after summer rainfalls in the following areas; Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. It can also be found after winter rainfall in Namibia. While there are several types of Hoodia plants spread throughout Africa, Hoodia Gordonii can only be found in Southern Africa.Mature Hoodia Gordonii plants can reach almost 6 feet in height and they are extremely difficult to cultivate.

The plants need temperatures of at least 50 degrees, whether they are in the sun or shade. The appearance of the plant is light green, and it frequently grows in clumps of upright stems.Currently, several drug companies, such as Pfizer, are investigating Hoodia Gordonii for use as a prescription weight loss drug. Some companies have already invested more than $21 million in hopes to be the first to license P57, the active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii.Meanwhile, certain companies have started to market all natural supplements using the ?core' of the Hoodia Gordonii plant. By carefully adding select natural ingredients that compliment the Hoodia effect of curbing hunger pangs, these supplements also encourage a sense of fullness in the stomach. This ?two-prong' attack, offers a more effective supplement that can meet the demands of a modern lifestyle surrounded by snacking and excessive eating.One of the premier companies producing this kind of supplement is Advanced Diets UK, which obtains its Hoodia Gordonii from authorized farms in Botswana.

Currently two formulations of supplements are available, with Diet Tea, Diet Juice, Diet Bars, and Diet Chewing Gum to be released in 2004.For further information visit http://www.advanceddiets.co.uk.

"Our weight loss pill combined with the free Diet Plan is guaranteed to help people lose weight before Memorial Day." Hoodia gordonii is a six-foot cactus native to the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa, and contains an active ingredient which research has shown could reduce an appetite by up to 2,000 calories a day. The San Bushmen of South Africa have used hoodia gordonii for centuries as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher to stave off hunger on long hunting expeditions across the desert. Hoodia4Weightloss products are safe and natural; unlike many other weight loss pill brands and other diet products, they do not contain caffeine, ephedra or any other stimulants. The company's product line features several weight loss pill brands (Diet Extra, Super Slim and Chia Fat Blaster) and a power shake formula, and will soon include tea and gum. Hoodia4Weightloss recommends combining the natural benefits of their products with a healthy diet and exercise in order to achieve weight loss and health goals.With the pre-summer special at hoodia gordonii weight loss pill or other products, please visit www.hoodia4weightloss.com.Contact:Laura SchneiderHoodia4WeightLoss.com800-507-5090.

A quality control laboratory is maintained as well.Derived from the hoodia gordonii plant, Hoodia Diet Pills are a fast-acting, natural appetite suppressant with astonishing effectiveness and few or no side effects. Hoodia has been used for centuries as a natural appetite suppressant. The herb replenishes fluids and works on both the mental and physical aspects of weight control. Simply put, people who use the hoodia diet pills do not feel full. That's because hoodia sends signals to the brain that tell a person to stop eating, in essence, tricking the brain into thinking that the person is full.

Hoodia is said to be even more effective than the glucose in food in its ability to communicate a sense of fullness to the brain. It has been shown to help people reduce intake of calories enough to lose up to two pounds a week with ease.With the new contract, hoodia diet pills will be readily available in supermarkets throughout Portugal under the Ferbar brand name. The availability of hoodia products will be welcomed by many dieters who struggle with appetite in an effort to lose weight. While many people know what a healthy diet and lifestyle entails, a major deterrent to sticking with a weight loss plan is, quite simply, that people get too hungry. While using hoodia diet pills does not mean one can lose weight without sticking to a good diet, they are a powerful aid that can be quite effective in helping to suppress hunger so that dieters can continue to reduce calorie intake without getting hungry.To learn more about hoodia diet products, companies and individual consumers can visit www.HoodiadietProducts.com.

It's really quite simple; the laws of physics conclude four ways to lose weight. (1) Reduce food by restricting caloric content, which would entail reducing appetite. (2) Increase energy expenditure, which would entail boosting metabolism. (3) Activate our bodies' brown fat, which burns white fat around our hips, thighs, and waistline. (4) Reduce over production of the fat producing hormone insulin with minerals that minimize insulin resistance and support healthy blood sugar levels.So how does all this occur? Although it looks very simple, creating a formula to hit all the areas of weight loss physics isn't easy.

But DynaPure has achieved this beneficial weight loss with specific ingredients in the patent-pending WARP 9 formulations. Pete Maletto, Chief Science Officer and formulator of WARP 9 products said "Hoodia, 5 HTP and L-Phenyalanine increase weight loss by decreasing hunger signals in the brain. This dramatic appetite reduction with these ingredients are proven in clinical weight loss studies and are the reason we use them as multiple ingredients in our formulas. They work more effective together."Related to these hunger signals is the correct balance of serotonin levels. To correct serotonin deficiency and decrease appetite, it's preferable to take 5-HTP.

By boosting brain serotonin levels, 5-HTP helps create a feeling of satiety (fullness), thus suppressing appetite and changing physics law number one. MIT researchers working on 5-HTP and its appetite suppressing benefit said, "It's conceivable this amino acid might be helpful in diminishing overeating."This lowering of caloric content, specifically carbohydrates, enables the body to use its own fat for energy, which it does painlessly and most users say, unnoticeably. Peggy, a WARP 9 user from Omaha Nebraska said, "I took WARP 9 and suddenly it was 5 o'clock and time to go home, I actually forgot my mid afternoon snack. It was this kind of effect that enabled me to lose over 30 pounds, it's truly unbelievable how it works!"In WARP 9 Caffeine Free, DynaPure added a powerful 20:1 Hoodia Extract to its stimulant free weight loss version of the formula, which adds even more benefit in reducing appetite.So as DynaPure's products reduce appetite, they also increase metabolism with green tea, kola nut (original formula) and L-Phenylalanine. These ingredients are clinically proven to increase energy expenditure, (physics law number two) by boosting adrenaline and noradrenaline.

Increases of noradrenaline activates brown fat, (physics law number 3) which then burns white fat, which mostly accumulates around our midsections, hips and thighs.In fact, research has shown green tea extract produced a significant increase in total energy expenditure: about 4%. This corresponds to a large increase in the thermogenic component of total energy expenditure: about 35?43%. In the February 2000 American Journal of Obesity, authors concluded that oral administration of green tea extract stimulated thermogenesis and fat oxidation and thus has the potential to influence body weight and body composition favorably.Including dietary supplementation of chromium, zinc and copper in WARP 9 formulations can help to increase insulin sensitivity and normalize blood sugar levels. By adding chromium and preventing insulin-glycogen "spill over", you decrease your chances of gaining weight (physics law number four).In addition to the minerals effects on carbohydrate (glucose) metabolism, insulin also influences the metabolism of fat and protein. This makes the presence of chromium even more important to anyone trying to lose weight, because part of a successful weight loss plan is to prevent over stimulation of insulin production.Simply put, nature has given us such excellent, and complementary supplements.

Herbals like Hoodia, 5-HTP and Green Tea (EGCG) are all included in WARP 9 to aid us in our efforts for safe effective weight loss.These all-natural supplements are clinically proven to help in shedding those extra pounds. Chances are, users will be admiring themselves in that bathroom mirror once again..

The people at Phytobase Nutritionals have taken dark chocolate and added another benefit: Hoodia Gordonii. An appetite suppressant found in the African Kalahari desert, Hoodia Gordonii is able to stave off hunger while attacking obesity. The San Bushmen, one of the world's oldest tribes, have been eating Hoodia for thousands of years to block feelings of hunger and give them energy while hunting or on long trips across the desert. CBS "60 Minutes" correspondent, Lesley Stahl, was led into the Kalahari Desert of South Africa for an episode on this scientific breakthrough. When the plant was located, the tracker cut off a stalk and offered it to Stahl.

After trying, it Stahl described it as "a little cucumbery in texture, but not bad." Stahl said she experienced no after effects, wasn't hungry all day and had no desire to eat or drink. "I'd have to say it did work," she said.Phytobase has developed the first combination of sugar-free, low-carbohydrate dark chocolate and Hoodia Gordonii available on the market, called Chocoleans(TM).Sam Gur, CEO of Phytobase Nutritionals, said, "Chocoleans are a dieter's dream come true and a truly unique concept.

Taking Hoodia Diet Tablets when you are hungry alleviates the feeling of hunger and so makes you less likely to snack between meals due to hunger. The Hoodia Gordonii Cactus has been used by the San indigenous people of South Africa for hundreds of years as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher. Extracts from this succulent have shown in clinical trials on obese subjects to reduce caloric intake by 30% to 40%. Significant weight loss has resulted from such a drop in caloric intake. Therefore, Hoodia is one of the best and most powerful natural appetite suppressant available, if used in conjunction with any diet.

Hoodia will help you to stop snacking between meals. It will also help you to reduce the amount that you eat at meal times.Dieting is not easy, you need to make your mind up that you are going to choose a diet plan that appeals to you and use Hoodia Diet Tablets to help you stick to your diet by reducing your daily calorie intake.Some users of Hoodia simply take the tablets 3 times a day, one hour before normal meal times, and this will allow them to eat less at each meal, so reducing daily calorie intake.Others find a low carb or low fat diet and take Hoodia Diet Tablets to stop them feeling hungry between these meals.By Viviana AidaHoodia Latina (www.hoodialatina.com).
