Have you ever wondered why so much of the
Hoodia that is also blended with Green Tea?
Although Green Tea is a healthy free
radical fighting antioxidant in itself, it is
mainly added to Hoodia formulations to help
speed weight loss. Usually the individuals
marketing these Hoodia and Green Tea Formulas
describe the formula as being synergistic.
The
truth is that Green Tea is added to these supplements
for its diuretic effects and so that more money
can be charged for less Hoodia if it is "cut"
with Green Tea. The caffiene in the Green Tea
also causes a generous initial loss of weight
due to water shedding from the tissues. This
rapid initial weight loss can lead you to believe
that you are experiencing "proof that the
Hoodia is working."
However this does not mean that you should
avoid hoodia products that have Green Tea in
them. Caffeine is added to many products as
it facilitates the delivery of many substances
to the brain. A good example is Tylenol
3 where caffeine is used to speed the delivery
of Tylenol and codeine to the bloodstream to
get you out of pain faster. The same can be
said of the caffeine that it is used in Hoodia
Gordonni and Green Tea weight loss formulas.
The two ingredients you should look for are
the green tea with the green tea in a 20:1 ratio
to the hoodia. That is what researchers at Phytopharm
and other companies have found to be the most
effective green tea to hoodia formula for weight
loss. Unfortunately green tea is added to weight
loss formulas to disguise low quality hoodia
or to enable the manufacturer to put less hoodia
in the product and lower the overall cost of
it. Usually the cheaper the hoodia is,
the more it is cut with Green Tea and other
ingredients.
Caffeine is not a villain, It is found in
more than sixty leaves, seeds and plants including
tea leaves, the kola nut, cacao seed and of
course the coffee bean. The effects of
caffeine on the body include heart and central
nervous system stimulation and muscle relaxation.
Caffeine also acts as a diuretic (increasing
urine production) and increases the secretion
of gastric acid in the stomach.
Unfortunately when you go shopping for hoodia,
you will notice that it is often combined with
other ingredients besides Green Tea or caffeine,
even banned herbs such as ephedra (also known
as Ma Huang). Absolutely avoid these formulas
as you could give yourself cardiac arrest or
experience rapid heart beat and keep awake at
night..
The fact that buying real hoodia is expensive
and you do get what you pay for. It takes six
years to grow hoodia from seed to the mature
plants and there are very few commercial hoodia
farms in the world. This six-year gap
between supplier and buyer is what makes pure
Hoodia so expensive. The point is that if you
are going to spend a lot of money on high quality
hoodia then make sure you are getting it in
the recommended 20:1 ratio mix with Green Tea
or you are wasting your money.
