Hoodia Products

by: Eric Morris

When we say Hoodia Products, the implied understanding is of Hoodia
Gordonii as an aid in weight-loss programs as an appetite suppressant. But
none of the Hoodia Products on the market today can be labeled as an
appetite suppressant. If they do so, they will be liable for legal action for patent
violation by the only company that can make that claim-Phytopharm. So they
just print 100% Hoodia and trust that customers will understand.

CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) of South Africa did a
30-year study of Hoodia, after it found that the San tribe, living on the fringes of
Kalahari Desert, used the plant as a hunger suppressant. They isolated the
active molecule and named it P 57. CSIR licensed British company
Phytopharm to test, develop and market P 57 as a weight loss aid.
Phytopharm failed in its attempt to produce P57 synthetically while working with
American MNC Pfizer. Most of the new farms to grow Hoodia are tied up by
Phytopharm. Phytopharm also has an agreement with Unilever, a
50-billion-dollar company, to test and market it as a dietary supplement. They
expect Hoodia shakes or bars to be put on the supermarket shelf by 2008.

Dieting being a 40-billion-dollar industry, and Hoodia being viewed as a sure
thing without any side effects, several companies have got into the act. Some
may be genuine while others may be spurious. It is a difficult call. They all
claim that their suppliers of the plant are approved by the South African
government.
