Overview

Hoodia was once the next big ingredient in the weight loss world. This South African root was going to stop world obesity and help everyone deal with the hunger symptoms often associated with being overweight. Unfortunately, the theory behind the ingredient may have been more powerful than the effect on hunger.

The Ingredients

Hoodia Gordonii, Citrus Aurantium and Guarana.

The Features

Curb Your Cravings Hoodia Patch is more than just a hunger patch – it is a caffeine haven. Citrus Aurantium is also referred to as bitter orange. When Ephedra was pulled from the diet pill market, this is the ingredient that replaced it in many fat burners. The effects of the ingredient are very similar to Ephedra and thus the Food and Drug Administration in the United States are thinking about banning this ingredient as well.

Guarana is another source of stimulation in the form of caffeine. It is interesting that the Curb Your Cravings Hoodia Patch seems to be more about energy and stimulation that hunger prevention. But, maybe the overdose of caffeine has a purpose.

The name Hoodia is still good for hunger control even if the scientific community has ruled the ingredient does not live up to the hype. Caffeine, however, will cause nausea in high doses. So, if the heart can take the stimulation, the patch WILL make you feel like not eating. That is, at least until the body gets used to the caffeine.

The Best

The product will cause a lack of appetite.
Caffeine is a proven fat burner.

The Worse

The cost is huge at nearly $80 US for one month’s supply.
The caffeine overdose could be harmful to some people.
The citrus aurantium could have ill effects on health.
Hoodia has not been proven to decrease appetite.

Final Thoughts

It is best to stay away from the Curb Your Cravings Hoodia Patch. This patch is a stimulant that could cause heart problems in people with high blood pressure. There are no warnings about the potential effects of the citrus aurantium, either, which is just bad marketing.
