Perfect Hoodia Capsules

Is Perfect Hoodia the perfect hoodia capsule?

The official website seems to think so. It claims that their product is the Best Hoodia Gordonii in the UK

Let us take a closer look to see if Perfect Hoodia is indeed perfect.

Hoodia has to meet a certain criteria first before it can be classed as genuine or authentic produce – Perfect Hoodia meets most of the necessary criteria but does fail on one crucial element!

At first glance Perfect Hoodia does appear to live up to its brand name, but it is when all the factors are analysed the truth reveals itself.

How To Check For Authentic Hoodia

• Possibly the crucial element involved is the type of “Hoodia” used in production – raw powder (P57 molecule) is authentic and contains the appetite suppressing qualities, whereas “extract” is cheap to manufacture, diluted and on the whole,  ineffective.
• Is the powder used in production sourced from South Africa – genuine produce is derived from the Kalahari region of South Africa.
• Does the product contain a CITES, CoA (certificate of Analysys) and an Organics Annex certificate to highlight its authenticity, independent laboratory findings and origin.
• Does each capsule contain between 400mg and 460mg of the substance – a standard sized capsule can hold upto 460mg of the denser raw powder but over 100mg of the cheaper, finer extract.
• Lastly, does each capsule contain just hoodia powder – without the inclusion of any filler ingredients.

Filler ingredients are commonly used by manufacturers to lower costs of production – Magnesium Stearate is the most likely filler ingredient.

This snippet taken from the official Perfect Hoodia website …

“Non-active ingredients required for manufacture: Cellulose; Magnesium Stearate; Silica and Gelatin Capsule”

… is a real deal killer.

Whilst gelatin is an essential component (this is the main ingredient of the capsule), Magesium Stearate is not.

If Duncan Bannatyne or any of the Dragons were thinking of investing – this is the stage where they would say “I’m out“

Where To Buy Perfect Hoodia

The official website is the most obvious choice, but can also be purchased via many online stockists.

Other Hoodia Capsules To Consider

If you are considering buying Hoodia and reside in the UK – the choice is rather limited.

The USA has approximately 90% of the market. The goods news for UK customers is that two of the most effective and genuine products are distributed from these shores.

Appesat Seaweed Diet Pill

Appesat, it would appear, has a rather large marketing budget at its disposal – the manufacturers Goldshield are not wasting the opportunity to get their message out to the masses.

Appesat has been recently released into the  over the counter market and billed as “The New Diet Pill Made From Seaweed That Can Train Your Stomach Into Wanting Less Food.”

So, basically an Appetite Suppressant.

Appesat has an awful lot of positives from a marketing perspective.

The manufacturers claim that their patented Bioginate Complex (seaweed extract) works differently to competing appetite suppressants.

A majority of natural appetite suppressant use plant extracts and effect sensors in the brain into creating a feeling of fullness or satiety.

Appesat, on the other hand causes a more physical effect by not only stimulating hunger sensors but also expanding in the stomach.

Is Appesat The New Miracle Diet Pill

2009 has been coined the “year of the miracle diet pill” with Appesat being the latest diet product to adorn the shelves of the likes of Tesco, Sainsburys, Boots the Chemist and Holland & Barrett.

The truth of the matter is that although Appesat appears to have just been launched and is pre-fixed with “new” it has been available to buy direct since mid 2008.

“There is very limited and poor evidence supporting it”

Appesat User Experiences And Clinical Proof

To date, the consumer reviews and customer comments have been mixed. For every positive slimming success story there is another that suggests Appesat not only did not live up to expectation but also caused an upset stomach and usual bowel movements.

The clinical trials appear to be very thorough according to the official literature but more impartial and independent sources are less than impressed with the evidence.

Health and nutrition experts suggest “There is very limited and poor evidence supporting Appesat” … It is not yet fully understood what the long term ramifications are from using seaweed extract to control appetite.

Where To Buy Appesat

On sale now at virtually all stockists of diet products including Boots the Chemist, Holland & Barrett, Tesco and Sainsbuys.

Purchases can also be made at discount direct from Slimming.com

Alternatives To Appesat

The feeling is that products such as Appesat are trying to re-invent the wheel as far as appetite suppressants are concerned.

“Hoodia is a pill that kills  appetite and attacks obesity.” BBC Correspondent 2003

Hoodia Gordonii has been available to dieters in capsule form for a little over a  decade and has centuries of working proof – the indigenous South African population have been using raw Hoodia powder for generations to curb hunger (for an altogether different reason) with unrivaled success and no ill effect.

It is largely accepted in all quarters that raw Hoodia powder is the most effective natural substance for suppressing appetite, reducing the need and want for food and ultimately aiding the weight loss process.

Two Fat Stopping Diet Pills Compared

One of the best genres of diet pills is the fat stopper – these are diet tablets that prevent the absorption of fat and allow excess fat from food consumed to pass naturally through the body – Fat Binders and Fat Blockers are the two most common fat stoppers.

Xenical is possibly the the best known fat blocker and only available via prescription – recently, though a lower strength version using the same active ingredient Orlistat was released onto the non prescription or over the counter market. This product is called Alli and will soon be available to buy in the UK.

So how does Alli compare against one of the leading non prescription fat binders, Proactol

What Is Proactol

A clinically proven fat binder that can prevent over a quarter of dietary fat from being absorbed into your stomach – this undigested fat can then leave your body via bowel movements.

Proactol also provides a mild appetite suppressing effect allowing you cut down on the food portions you would normally consume.

Available in the UK, Europe and in the United States. Read more about Proactol

What is Alli

As described above Alli is a lower strength Orlistat, the active ingredient found in the prescription only Xenical. Alli also prevents food from being absorbed but can often lead to the leaky stool issue as excess fat is not bound but simply stopped.

Alli will be available to buy in the UK around April 2009. More about Alli
