How does hoodia gordonii help people lose weight?
It suppresses the appetites of people by way of a patented P57 enzyme. This enzyme occurs naturally-especially in the stems of the plant.

Is hoodia gordonii safe?
It usually is as long as you take it as directed. Sometimes when you mix hoodia with other dietary supplements there may be side effects but usually it’s because of some other ingredient. The h. gordonii in its purest form is the best and the safest.
