The
Hoodia Patch diet slimming system is a continual
appetite suppressant which works by releasing natural
Hoodia Gordonii extract, via a patch, placed on the
body.
Say goodbye to diet pills!
Each Hoodia Patch works for a full 24 hours, giving the
benefit of working while you are asleep.
The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's
oldest and most primitive tribes, have been eating the
Hoodia plant for thousands of years to stave off hunger
during long hunting trips.
The Hoodia Diet Patches work all day & all night long!
So easy... just put on a new adhesive diet patch every
day for continuous, safe and effective weight loss.
Hoodia is a plant. In order to make the plant marketable
and readily available to the general public,
manufacturers either grind the whole plant into a powder
or use alcohol to concentrate the active ingredients.
The powder or concentrate is then sold in capsules,
liquid form and most recently in the form of the hoodia
patch.
The hoodia patch is a transdermal patch, meaning that
the method of delivery is through the skin. For those
who are unfamiliar with transdermal patches, they are
used by a variety of pharmaceutical companies. Most
commonly known is probably the nicotine patch, which is
an aid for those people who are trying to quit smoking.
Hoodia patches are aids for those who are trying to lose
weight.
Hoodia in its natural form has an appetite suppressing
effect. The goal of the hoodia patch and other hoodia
products is to deliver the same appetite suppressing
effect without needed to consume the plant. Hoodia is a
succulent that resembles a cactus and grows wild in the
deserts of Africa. It is of course not practical for
most people to travel to Africa to sample the plant, but
one reporter did do just that. Her report has led to an
increased interest in hoodia products in general. Hoodia
patches are just one of the many products available.
Some people prefer a transdermal patch because they can
put it on in the morning and forget about it. The hoodia
patch, like other transdermal patches, uses a
time-released mechanism so that a small amount of the
active ingredient is released into the blood stream
throughout the day. Complaints concerning transdermal
patches in general include itching and minor skin
irritations. Hoodia patches may cause the same
reactions. Some people have a problem keeping a
transdermal patch on when they sweat. If the patch comes
off, it must be replaced with another one. A hoodia
patch is not an inexpensive product and this may be one
of the drawbacks for some people. Replacing a patch
because it falls off during exercise can increase the
cost per day to the individual.
Ideally a person should be able to use one hoodia patch
per day, replacing it every 24 hours. If forgetfulness
is the reason that a person desires a patch, they may
not be any easier to remember. On the other hand, it is
recommended that hoodia supplements be taken one hour
before meals. Busy people do not always eat at the same
time everyday and really busy people may not know when
their next meal will be. Hoodia patches may offer a
solution for these people.
