A doctor named Richard M. Goldfarb in Morrisville, PA. initiated the studies on Hoodia. He had conducted a small study involving Hoodia Gordonii on people and found it effective. Hoodia Gordonii DEX L10, a 500mg Hoodia capsule sold by Delmar Labs was used in the study. In the study, the 7 subjects took 2 Hoodia Gordonii DEX L10 caps each day, keeping all other eating and exercising habits unchanged with a starting body weight ranging from 193 to 345lbs. The subjects lost 3.3% body weight on average over the time span of 28 days. The participants reported a lowered caloric intake within just a few days of taking DEX L10, and there were no reported side effects.
In his report, Goldfarb says: “Hoodia gordonii works within the satiety center of the brain by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose but up to 100 times stronger. The hypothalamus receives this signal as an indication that enough food has been consumed and this in turn decreases the appetite.” Yes, “up to 100 times”, not 100,000! However, this study was not published in a scientific journal and was not peer reviewed.
Everyone says that this product of Delmar Labs is the best. What makes Hoodia Dex L10 Gordonii different from all the others? This is yet to be seen. However one claim in favor of Delmar Labs is that it has been clinically tested and according to the manufacturer, in fact, it is the only brand of hoodia to have been clinically tested and certified. That is not true as of now, as many other hoodia brands other than the dex l10 hoodia have been tested in independent labs tests.
