When the Hoodia supplement you are taking uses the WHOLE Hoodia plant. Only the core of the Hoodia plant has the components to produce an appetite suppressant effect. The Bushmen always cut off the flowers, root and skin (which make up 40% of the weight of the Hoodia plant) before eating the Hoodia plant. So, if your Hoodia supplement uses "the whole hoodia plant" - 40% of what you are getting is worthless. This means that their 400mg capsule of Hoodia only contains 240mg of hoodia core - the part of the plant that suppresses appetite.
While hoodia is considered very safe and side effect free, we do not feel that women who are pregnant or nursing should use hoodia supplements. In addition, if you have high blood pressure, you may want to check with your Doctor before using a hoodia supplement. It makes sense to always check with your doctor before starting any new supplements program.
