Hej!

Er der nogle der kender dette produkt, og hvis, virker det så...? [fjernet af moderator]

og bliver beskrevet således:

Hoodia kaktussen vokser i et af afrikas mest øde områder og er blevet brugt af San folket mod sult og træthed. Kaktussen indeholder molekylet "P57" der dæmper kroppens behov for kulhydrater og sukker. Hoodia betragtes som et af fremtidens bedste våben mod den globale fedme.

Hoodia gordonii

Indhold: 25 g pulveriseret Hoodia

Oprindelse: Sydafrika

Med venlig hilsen

Per Folmann Larsen

Jeg undersøgte det for et par år siden og skrev følgende:

Hoodia is a product which is not supported by science. In the scientific literature no human clinical studies are available.

It is not possible to find any published human effect studies.

It is not possible to find any published human safety studies.

The supplier of Hoodia was not able to deliver a satisfied safety and effect documentation.

Pfizer has been involved in P57 - the active ingredient in Hoodia.

In Wikipedia it is stated - (ref: Wikipedia)

"...Jasjit Bindra, lead researcher for hoodia at Pfizer, states there were indications of unwanted effects on the liver caused by other components, which could not be easily removed from the supplement, adding Clearly, hoodia has a long way to go before it can earn approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Until safer formulations are developed, dieters should be wary of using it..."

"...There is no published scientific evidence that Hoodia works as an appetite suppressant in humans. The safety and/or effectiveness of Hoodia Gordonii as a dietary supplement must thus be considered as unsubstantiated..."

This link is another review of Hoodia: http://blog.healthtalk.com/zimney/hoodia-w...-voodoo-doodoo/

Here it is stated that Hoodia is not supported by science (efficacy and safety), but is supported by "mega-marketing".
