Q. I thought Hoodia was owned by one company and not commercially available?
This is absolutely incorrect. Hoodia has been around since God created the Heavens and the Earth. It has been used for thousands of years by tribes like the San Bushmen of the Kalahari.
Several years ago a group of South African Scientists discovered that the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which they dubbed "P57".
They sold the rights to their research to the British Pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm (see source). which developed a extract of the plant and began clinical trials.
In 1998, the Pfizer corporation took interest in the product and reportedly paid in the neighborhood of up to $32 million for the right to the research from Phytopharm. (see source).
Word has it that they backed out at some point and the rights reverted back to Phytopharm who continues to pursue developing a commercial extract of Hoodia Gordonii.
The Hoodia Gordonii plant can take several years to grow and because it is a rare plant which grows in the wild, a number of growers saw the commercial potential in this plant and setup farms whereby they began to commercially develop the rare plant in order to be able to provide sustainable quantities of the material to consumers.
We work with licensed exporters of Hoodia Gordonii who work under permit from the South African Government.
Q. What ingredients are used in Desert Burn™?
100% Hoodia Gordonii Powder which is encapsulated into 750mg capsules, 60 to a bottle.
There are two minor trace ingredients which are present in 99% of all Nutritional Supplements which are added in a very minute amount as excipients.
Gelatin which is a standard ingredient used to make the capsule and Magnesium Stearate and Stearic acid are minor excipients added to the process to enable encapsulation to occur smoothly. Take a look at the back panel of the product.
Q. So you use Real Hoodia Gordonii Powder but how much of the active molecule in "P57" is present?
This answer is unknown. We plan to conduct clinical testing to see if this can be quantified when tests are available that can easily identify the molecule. What is generally believed is that "More" is better with the Hoodia Gordonii plant and this is why we decided to offer double the amount of Hoodia capsules than most competitors and we advocate consuming between 3-4 grams of powder per day for best effect.
Q. How should I take Hoodia?
Try taking 2 capsules in the morning upon waking with a full glass of water and 2 capsules 1-2 hours before Lunch and Dinner.
Q. Are there any side-effects to taking Hoodia?
There are no known side effects to using Hoodia Gordonii that we know of.
Q. Is Desert Burn EPHEDRA Free?
There are no ephedra or other stimulants in Desert Burn.
Q. Can I pop one pill and expect to lose weight?
You want to lose weight it is really quite simple. Reduce caloric intake and increase exercise.
In any program that you are considering to start
to lose weight you should first consult with
your doctor to ensure there is no danger in your
particular situation.
It is also recommended to incorporate a sensible diet and engaging in some form of regular exercise.
We believe the best regimen available is one which involves cutting out junk foods from fast-food restaurants and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and lean cuts of meats.
Cut back on your carbohydrate intake as carbs convert to sugar and into fat stores in the body.
You should also consider drinking more water and one formula for determining how much to take is to take your body weight and divide it by 2 and drink that number in ounces of water each day.
Example: You weight 180 lbs, / 2 = 90 ounces of water.
Water will rehydrate your body, speed fat loss and flush your toxins from your system.
Try walking 1-2 miles per day. This is one of the best forms of exercise available and is low inpact for most people.
Q. Do I need a prescription to use Desert Burn™?
No you do not. Because Desert Burn is an all natural nutritional supplement containing only the finest Hoodia Gordonii available so there is no need to obtain a prescription. |
