    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The Hoodia Patch is a weight loss aid that suppresses appetite. It utilizes the natural benefits of the hoodia gordonii plant to reduce calorie intake and shed unwanted pounds.

    Facts

    Each Hoodia Patch contains hoodia gordonii, an African plant used by the natives to suppress appetite during long journeys. The patch is worn on the skin and releases the herbal supplement in a timed-release fashion.

    Uses

    The Hoodia Patch is applied directly to the skin anywhere on the body. Each patch is meant to be worn for 24 hours.

    Benefits

    Unlike hoodia pills or liquid supplements, the Hoodia Patch delivers its hoodia through the skin and directly into the bloodstream, avoiding the digestive process entirely. And with the patch, users don't have to remember to take their hoodia supplements throughout the day.

    Considerations

    Some users have experienced skin irritation at the patch application site. Always check the ingredients to make sure the patch doesn't include any additives like caffeine that could cause unpleasant reactions. Hoodia may also reduce thirst, so it's important to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

    Warning

    The Hoodia Patch is not approved by the FDA. There have been no long-term studies proving the Hoodia Patch's effectiveness in helping people lose weight.
