Reason why we started compounding hoodia?
We started compounding pure Hoodia Gordonii into capsule from about 3 years ago for our prescribing healthcare practitioners.  We began compounding Hoodia Gordonii into capsules via recommendation from medical practitioners to correct metabolic issues diagnosed through blood test. 
The recommended strength is 400mg per capsule but can be compounded in higher strengths,

We don’t like to use the term weight loss, but a way to “better health and wellness” and through our qualified healthcare practitioner we can help.  Weight loss is a difficult process about getting a lot of metabolic markers in the optimal range and addressing the many underlying issues that could be present. 
We understand that the outside is important for image and we by all means are able to help address these through our anti-aging range. But health TRULY is from the inside out.

Through patient and doctor contact's in our pharmacy, we have been able to collate important data to suggest that HOODIA GORDONII can be important to address some of the many issues surrounding the term “WEIGHT LOSS”, by possibly addressing some of the underlying metabolic markers.

Compounding
Compounding is the art of customised medications for patients on an individual basis. 
This art dates back to the origins of pharmacy but due to the advent of drub manufacturing in the 1950/60’s, compounding had rapidly declined. 
The resurgence of modern technology, innovative techniques and research has allowed more pharmacists to customise medication to specific patients needs.

There are several reasons why pharmacists compound medicines;

1. The most important one is what the medical community calls “patient non-compliance”.  Many patients are allergic to preservatives or dyes or are sensitive to standard drug strengths.

2. The pharmacist can also prepare the medication using several unique delivery systems, such as SUBLINGUAL TROCHE or LOZENGE, SPRAYS, or a TRANSDERMAL GEL.  Or, for those patients who are having a difficult time swallowing a CAPSULE, a compounding pharmacist can make a suspension instead.

3. Children and the elderly are often the types of patients who benefit the most from compounding. 
   Often parents have a tough time getting their children to take medications because of taste. 
   A compounding pharmacist can work directly with the doctor and the patient to select a flavouring agent, such as vanilla, strawberry or chocolate etc, that provides both and appropriate match for the
   medication’s properties and the patient’s taste preferences.

4. Compounding pharmacist also have helped patients experiencing chronic pain. 
   For example some arthritic patients cannot take certain medications due to gastrointestinal side effects.  Working with their doctor and compounding pharmacist can provide them with a topical preparation of the anti-inflammatory or analgesic their doctor has prescribed for them. 
   Compounded prescriptions are often used for pain management in hospice care.
