Is Hoodia Gordonii Safe?

Since Hoodia is a plant (versus a man-made chemical or diet pill), it is completely natural and experts say it is safe to eat.

As a testament to this, Hoodia is actually classified as a food in South Africa, NOT a drug.

Scientists have been studying Hoodia for almost 10 years and have not found any side effects

For centuries Hoodia Gordonii has restricted hunger and thirst during hunting-expeditions of tribes in the Kalahari Desert. Since long Bushmen tribes have used Hoodia Gordonii while on long-hunting trips to increase strength and stave off hunger and thirst. Every time they traveled on long hunting expeditions, they consumed the Hoodia Cactus to stave off hunger.

In fact Hoodia is probably the safest appetite suppressant available today (especially when you compare it to the diet pills that make you feel jittery and moody).

The only real side effects with Hoodia would be if it were overused or abused (for example by someone with an eating disorder). As such, Hoodia is not recommended for those people who struggle with eating disorders or body image disorders. As well, just to be safe, pregnant or nursing mothers should also probably stay away from Hoodia.

The other way Hoodia may cause problems or side effects is if you buy it from the wrong manufacturer.
