Hoodia Patch - Why You Should Not Use This Product

You have certainly heard about hoodia, the amazing plant that can help you lose weight by reducing the amount of food you eat. But we think that the hoodia diet patch should be avoided and we have strong reasons to believe this. Let us explain below.

We have three reasons to recommend avoiding the hoodia diet patch.

1. The main argument of those selling the hoodia diet patch is that the plant can be better absorbed by the body than when you use hoodia pills or capsules. The hoodia patch is placed on your skin and it is believed that the active substance transfers itself from the patch, through your skin directly in your bloodstream. This means that the effect, meaning eating less and lose weight faster, will be quicker. We do not believe in this argument and we think it is more speculative than you may think. First, there is no proof about how the hoodia patch works or that it is better than the capsules or pills containing hoodia. The truth is that there is no clinical study made to prove the effect of the hoodia patch. What is even more unethical is that the sellers try to convince customers by making an analogy between the hoodia patch and other patches existing on the market, like the nicotine patch and the birth control patch. You must know that these patches are usually prescribed by doctors and they have clinical studies made that guarantee for their effect, which is not the case with the hoodia patch. The hoodia patch is not prescribed and nobody has done any studies concerning its effects, so to claim that they are better than the capsules and the pills is an unverified affirmation.

2. The second thing that you must know is that the Sans Bushmen, the tribe from South Africa that uses hoodia for thousands of years do not use the hoodia patch. This is how they use it: they cut off a piece of the hoodia plant, they skin it and they eat its core. This argument is as clear as it can be. These people have a long time experience about the properties of the plant and they work. And they do not use a patch to put on their body, but they ingurgitate it to enjoy its beneficial effects. So, is the hoodia patch more effective than pills and capsules that are filled with hoodia plant? The answer is simply, no.

3. Our third argument refers to the fact that the company that produces hoodia capsules and pills, using the active ingredient in hoodia gordonii, called P57, has conducted serious studies to prove the effects of their products. Phytopharm, as the company is called, owns the patent rights for P57 and it is legally entitled to make these products. They claim that their hoodia product is botanically verified to contain pure Hoodia gordonii and it has quantified levels of the chemical constituents that produce the anti-obesity effects. This claim holds them legally responsible for their products. On the other hand, no seller of hoodia diet patch ever conducted such studies and it is not sure whether their products have the expected effects or not.

You must keep in mind that there are many hoodia products on the market that are not reliable in any way regarding the weight loss. So do not buy any pill or capsule that you do not know that it has been made with pure hoodia gordonii.

We do not advise you to use any product whatsoever. But if you choose to take advantage of the plant properties, it is better to go for capsules than pills, rather than the hoodia patch.

Until serious scientific research is conducted related to the hoodia patch, we think that it is better to avoid using this product.
