Ingredients in our Hoodia Chaser formula

As you read the following list of ingredients in Hoodia Gordonii Chaser, you'll notice two things: We've kept it simple, and we've kept it natural. But most important, we've made it effective.

Hoodia Gordonii
This is a small, succulent plant that grows wild only in the semi-arid Kalahari Desert of South Africa. The San peoples, or Bushmen, who�ve lived in that area for centuries, have traditionally eaten the plant to prevent hunger and thirst on long hunting trips. For generations, only the San people knew of Hoodia's marvelous properties.

A joint press release was issued by the South African San Council, and the CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in South Africa) in October 2004. Dr. Marthinus Horak, Bioprospecting Manager at the CSIR said, "The San's knowledge has been tried and tested in the veld over thousands of years and is a precious source that has to be preserved for future generations. This agreement facilitates the linking of San knowledge and modern science in an endeavour to develop new products such as natural remedies."

There are no known side effects. In fact, Tom Mangold, a BBC News correspondent, reported after eating Hoodia from the Kalahari Desert in May of 2003, "...The plant is said to have a feel-good, almost aphrodisiac quality, and I have to say we felt good, but more significantly, we did not even think about food."

Hoodia Gordonii is one more of nature's many gifts to people in need.

Magnesium
According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, "Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health" It is found in nature in green vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds. Also, whole, unrefined grains are a good source. Water is also a good source, if it's "hard" water. "Soft" water does not contain as many minerals.

"Magnesium is necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, such as normal muscle and nerve function, steady heart rhythm, a healthy immune system, and strong bones."

Magnesium deficiency may occur in people who are taking "antibiotics, diuretics, and certain medications for cancer" . Diabetics, especially those who don't control their condition carefully, because of increased magnesium loss in urine associated with hyperglycemia. "Low blood levels of magnesium occur in 30% to 60% of alcoholics, and in 90% of patients experiencing alcohol withdrawal." Older adults (who are likely to be taking drugs) should be especially aware of their need for magnesium.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract
This is an extract from the fruit and rind of a tree that grows in the evergreen forests of India and Thailand. The active onstituent of the fruit is Hydroxy Citric Acid, an acid similar to citrus fruits

"In the late 1960's, researchers discovered that this fruit has positive effect on the energy conversion taking place in the body." "This led to an in-depth scientific study by one of the world's leading pharmaceuticals, Hoffman La Rouche. They concluded that the active component in Garcinia Cambogia was H.C.A. H.C.A helps increase the capability of the body to store glycogen in the muscles and liver... Some hunger feelings are controlled by the liver glycogen level."

It has been used in Ayurvedic practices for many years. In Southeast Asia, it is considered a helpful dietary supplement during weight management and increased energy.

Green Tea Extract
Green tea has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years. As a popular beverage, it has many benefits for the body. It is widely known as an antioxidant, and helps relieve the body of toxins. It does not raise the heart rate, and is, in fact quite soothing.

Green tea increases energy levels naturally. Some people thought the increase in energy was due to caffeine, but research has shown this isn't the case. As a whole food, rather than a manufactured drug, the body can "recognize" the benefits of Green Tea, and quickly feels more energetic.

In an article by Mary J. Shomon for About.com, she quotes the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition as saying, "it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure..., plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation."

Other ingredients
Hoodia Chaser does not contain wheat, peanuts, shellfish, or dairy products, which can be allergens for some people.

Side effects
To our knowledge, there are no known side effects to any of the ingredients in Hoodia Chaser. We urge you to check with your qualified health professional before taking any dietary supplement.

We also urge you to eat sensibly. When you experience a beneficial loss of appetite, make sure you are also getting a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals through the foods you eat or, with nutritional supplementation.

Hoodia gordonii (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is also called hoodia, xhooba, khoba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus. It’s actually not a true cactus at all, but rather is a succulent with sharp spines, that resembles a cactus.

Hoodia is causing quite a stir for its ability to suppress appetite, thereby promoting weight loss. The CBS television news program, 60 Minutes, and the British network, BBC have already featured stories about Hoodia.

Hoodia Gordonii can only be found in the semi-arid deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Hoodia grows in clumps of green upright stalks.

It takes about five years, or more, before Hoodia’s pale purple flowers appear. After that time the plant can be eaten. Although there are at least 40 known varieties of Hoodia, only the Gordonii species is believed to contain the natural appetite suppressant.

Long a staple of Eastern and holistic medicine, the Goji Berry is renowned for its antioxidant properties that provide a variety of benefits including increased energy and heightened immune function. The weight loss properties of this natural ingredient have recently seen the fruit becoming popular stateside as well, especially among celebrities and many stars in Hollywood with the Goji Berry being featured on many television programs and in magazines.

We've enhanced the many benefits of the Goji Berry by adding other natural ingredients to the Goji Berry Active Supplement designed to increase its weight loss capabilities and provide many other health benefits as well.

The result is a complete all-natural supplement designed to be taken in an easy-to-use pill form with no powders or cumbersome ingredients to mix or measure. Just take as directed to help with weight loss, immune function, and increasing energy levels.

Vanadium is a trace element that was named after the Scandinavian goddess of youth and beauty. It is necessary for cellular metabolism and for the formation of bones and teeth. Vanadium inhibits cholesterol synthesis and plays a vital role in growth and reproduction of the body. This mineral has been shown to improve insulin utilization, resulting in improved glucose tolerance. A trace mineral like chromium chelavite, this nutrient is essential for efficient cellular activity. It works remarkably well as a powerful insulin mimic, and has been shown to maintain blood sugar levels that are in the normal range.
