Why is Hoodia so special? When you look at fad diets, thermogenic weight-loss formulas, starch blockers and bulking agents used on their own, all have potential downsides. * fad diets are a dime a dozen and while some of them may help to get weight off initially, most are not balanced nutritionally to support long term use and they can eventually cause a yo-yo effect with weight and metabolism. Many diet pills and supplement are also thermogenics which work by trying to in crease the rate at which our body burns fat (thermogenesis). If you run the body hotter, faster and harder for too long, as with any engine, you end up with problems. Starch blockers work by blocking alpha-amylase, as enzyme the body produces to digest starches in our diet. So not only are these products encouraging us to not develop healthier eating patterns, they are also blocking an enzyme which the body is producing for a reason. Bulking agents on their own can help to give a feeling of fullness, but when combined with the appetite suppressant effect of Hoodia, they are far more effective. Hoodia gives you a sensible way to modify your dietary habits because it reduces your appetite. This makes it easier for you to make the required dietary changes, which may see you not only loose weight, but also gain control of your health.

The Hoodia gordonii difference. Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant from the same botanical family as Aloe vera Asclepiadaceae. Hoodia has a spiny appearance resembling a cactus and has been used for centuries by the San bushmen of South Africa as a way of controlling hunger and thirst during hunting expeditions in the Kalahari desert. Whole Hoodia powder contains variable amounts of fibre, organic material, antioxidants and a specific variety of biologically active substances. The most important of these is the steroidal glycosides which have been shown to have a highly effective appetite suppressant activity. During more than 27,000 years of traditional use, hoodia has proven itself to be a powerful appetite suppressant. Recent research using an isolated compound of the steroidal glycosides has sparked worldwide interest among doctors and scientists engaged in the fight against the global epidemic of obesity. Animal research has shown that the steroidal glycosides in Hoodia gordonii act directly on the hypothalamus, raising local ATP (energy) levels and triggering a message that blood glucose is high. This effect reduced food intake by up to 60 percent and increased hypothalamic ATP by up to 150%. Results on human clinical trials in Britain suggest that Hoodia may reduce the appetite by up to the equivalent of 1000 calories per day. Hoodia's non stimulant, non-addictive ability to trick the brain into thinking the stomach is full offers enormous potential for weight control, assisting with establishing healthy calorie conscious dietary habits and also in helping combat insulin resistance (the metabolic syndrome X).

Glucomannan is a 100% natural dietary fibre obtained from the root of the konjak plant. It reduces appetite by providing a feeling of fullness and delaying stomach emptying. As an insoluble fibre, Glucomannan helps maintain regularity and promotes bowel health and it has also been clinically shown to help reduce cholesterol and help to normalize blood sugar levels. To be a 'genuine Hoodia' product ALL these criteria must be met: It must be harvested from the Kalahari Dessert, it must be of the genus Hoodia gordonii, it must have a CITES Permit (a legal requirement from the South African Govt.), royalties must be paid back to the San Bushmen. Radiance Hoodia meets all these requirements. It is guaranteed 100% pure South African Hoodia gordonii, and is cultivated and legally harvested under international CITES requirements.
