May 22, 2009
One very important concern people have regarding the safety of products such as hoodia is that regarding safety. One blog report suggests the possibility that “no news is good news” when applied to this seemingly priceless herb.
However, of course there is the issue of the availability of information. Not much is yet offered today simply because of the fact that it takes so long to harvest and plant this product.
However, the good news (which may even be better than no news) is that some television reporters have actually visited the Kalahari Desert where this herb has been planted. Thus, adds to publicized documentation of a real live person who has experienced the effects of hoodia gordinii.
The working active ingredient in this plant is called P57, which has not yet been known to cause any sever side effects. It can, however, it causes some people to turn away from food completely although this has not been reported as commonplace.
So far, one of the biggest concerns is in those who have an eating disorder. It also is not advisable for people with liver trouble. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, or cholesterol problems should be careful when using it as well.
This product is not recommended for pregnant women, either. In any case, individuals should consult a physician if they notice any problems at all associated with a supplement that is based on this type of herb.
The other challenge pertaining to the use of this herb is whether or not the product made continues an authentic supply of it. It is important to look for products that are manufactured by C.I.T.E.S. certified suppliers.
