Hoodia Patches or Hoodia Diet Pills for Better Results?
If you've ever been in a store or visited a website that sells hoodia patches then you will probably have seen that the company's biggest claim is that their patch works a lot more effectively than the traditional hoodia diet pills. They argue that by wearing a patch you will receive a slow release of hoodia into your bloodstream throughout the day.
Another claim they have is that because the hoodia enters your bloodstream directly, without having to work it's way through your stomach, the patch will start having an effect much quicker compared to pills or liquid products.
Unfortunately while these claims sound genuine enough, there is actually very little evidence to back them up. In fact, there are very few studies on how effective hoodia gordonii is to start with, never mind any studies into hoodia patches.
What about the nicotine patch or the birth control patch, you may ask? They work after all, so the hoodia patch must be effective. Sellers of hoodia patches will try to make this comparison but don't fall for it. There is a big difference between these products.
Birth control patches require a prescription. Nicotine patches initially required a prescription and only recently have been over the counter. The hoodia patch has never required a prescription. Why is this distinction so important?
Any product that requires, or used to require a prescription, has to pass a number of regulations and government criteria to ensure that it is effective and safe for the general public to use. Hoodia patches have never needed to meet these requirements.
I know some of you will be skeptical about believing medical studies, so here's something else to consider. Hoodia gordonii is grown in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, and is a cactus like plant which has been used for generations by the local tribes to suppress hunger on hunting trips.
The original way of taking hoodia that the tribe use is to cut a small section a few inches in length from the plant. They would then peel the skin, and eat it. This would deliver all the hoodia needed to suppress their appetite for several hours. Eating the plant is obviously an effective method of delivery so which method do you think would be most effective: taking a pill which contains ground up hoodia powder, or wearing a patch on the outside of your skin?
It is the case that I believe that all hoodia patches are a useless waste of money, however I'm not trying to say that all of the hoodia diet pills are excellent. Far from it, it's actually the case that the majority of hoodia products on the market today are actually fakes, which contain little to no actual hoodia gordonii at all.
Until there is better regulation and testing you would be far wiser to spend your money on authentic hoodia diet pills instead of wasting your money on hoodia patches. - 17273
