Dieta Hoodia

Into the hoodia gordonii market, you may see sometimes some products with the mention of H57 or P57. So, is there any difference between the so called H57 and P 57??

The answer is no. In fact, H57 and P57 are a similar term to refer to Hoodia Gordonii.

Originally, Phytopharm, the english pharmaceutical company which acquired the intellectual property rights developed over Hoodia gordonii from CSIR (South African Research and Development organisation). Then, Phytopharm patented the product as P57 (the P is used in most of their patents).

From there, many articles, publications and news about hoodia gordonii, hoodia diet pills, hoodia cactus, south african hoodia and so on, used the term P57 into the product description.

Then, other companies started to use the term H57 (acronymous for Hoodia 57) just to avoid the patented term frmo Phytopharm, and such a term also became popular. Some products offered into the market today are branded as H57 and many adevertisements or searches are performed using the term H57 or H57 Hoodia.

Just to avoid legal implications, the fact is that in both cases, P57 and H57 mean exactly the same: products made with Hoodia Gordonii. Obviously, there are different products, brands and presentations involved. But with some legal differences, P57 and H57 means almost the same: Hoodia gordonii products. Don´t be confused about it.
