The study showed animals that had been injected with Hoodia had a significant decrease in appetite, leading to the conclusion that Hoodia can effectively act as an appetite suppressant and weight loss aid. With these results, scientists conducted further studies to identify and extract the molecule responsible for suppressing appetite, naming the molecule P57 and patenting the extraction formula. Subsequently, the patent was leased to British pharmaceutical Phytopharm. Further studies were conducted (including human trials) to reaffirm that Hoodia can be safely used for dieting and slimming. Once the results were made public, Pfizer (a large pharmaceutical company) became interested in developing a weight loss tablet in the form of a Hoodia diet pill. However, the cost to manufacture the extract was not viable, and the strength of the extract produced varying results. Pfizer dropped out of the partnership and Unilever (another pharmaceutical) is continuing development of the Hoodia weight loss pills. To date, US and Canada Hoodia products from these companies are not yet available and are still in the process of development.

Be cautious of Hoodia review sites. These sites may appear to show unbiased rankings of Hoodia diet pills that are evaluated on criteria such as price, the amount of Hoodia per capsule, number of capsules per bottle, and type of Hoodia used. In reality, these companies are trying to boost sales of their own products by making their product the top rated product. Unbiased ranking sites usually do not make their top product available for sale. And, remember to read the fine print on money-back guarantees. Most companies do not offer a refund on opened bottles.
