Hoodia Gordonii is a plant. In order to make the plant
marketable and readily available to the general people,
manufacturers either grind the whole plant into a powder or use
alcohol to concentrate the active ingredients. The complete
product is then sold in capsules, tablets or liquid form and
most recently in the form of the "Hoodia patch".
Hoodia Gordonii in its natural form has an appetite suppressing
attribute, which can be used as an aid to lose weight. Hoodia
Gordonii is a succulent that resembles a cactus and grows wild
in the deserts of Africa. Hoodia patches are just one of the
many Hoodia Gordonii products available.

through the skin. "Hoodia nicotine patch" is another aid for
those people who are trying to stop smoking. "Hoodia patches"

Many people prefer a transdermal patch because they can put it
on in the morning and forget about it. The Hoodia patch, like
other transdermal patches, uses a time-released mechanism so
that a small amount of the active ingredient is released into
the blood circulation system throughout the day. If the patch
comes off, it must be replaced with another one. Ideally a
person should be able to use one Hoodia patch per day, replacing
it every 24 hours.
Busy people may not remember when their next meal will be.
Hoodia patches may offer a solution for these people. Hoodia
suppresses thirst as well as appetite. In order to avoid
dehydration, it is important to drink plenty of water, even if
one is not thirsty. There are no known side effects associated
with Hoodia. The Hoodia patch does not have drugs, so disposal
or skin-to-skin contact should not be a problem like it is with
nicotine and hormonal patches.
