How Effective is the Hoodia Weight Loss Patch?
Posted by admin | Filed under Hoodia Patches
There seems to be a patch for everything… no matter what your affliction there is a patch on the market to make it go away. The theory behind the patches is that the contents of the patch are time released through the skin (transdermal) directly into the blood stream – bypassing the digestion process.
Being able to effectively deliver medication or a nutritional supplement through the skin using a patch is no easy task… The Hoodia patches have become popular due to their affordable price and the convincing claims made by those who sell them.
It sounds like the perfect weight loss product – it’s cheap and it works better than any other hoodia product!
Not so fast.
The first red flag is the price. Authentic hoodia gordonii is scarce and, as a result, isn’t cheap.
Another red flag is how the hoodia patch is marketed. The will claim that a patch is more effective than pills or capsules because you get a slow release of hoodia gordonii into the bloodstream throughout the day. The result – your appetite will be suppressed throughout the day! That would be great – if it were actually true.
The science behind the hoodia patch is that the hoodia gordonii bypasses the stomach and gets into the bloodstream directly through the skin, resulting in quicker and more effective appetite suppression. In reality – it doesn’t work.
There isn’t ONE clinical study to prove that transdermal delivery of Hoodia works.

But what about nicotene and birth control patches? Does that mean they don’t work either? Not at all. Nicotene patches used to require a prescription and birth control patches still do – when a medication requires a prescription it means it has been extensively studied and passed rigorous governmental regulations to prove that it works as advertised.
Not only are there no studies that prove the efficacy of the hoodia diet patch, there’s also very little evidence by dieters that they actually work.
You can probably tell that I’m not a big fan of Hoodia patches, It would be great if they were proven to be equally as effective as a capsule because that’d be so convenient. However until that day comes, I encourage you to stick with traditional hoodia diet pills.
