HOODIA GORDONII: Hoodia gordonii was first introduced to the U.S. market in early 2004 and it has quickly become one of the most popular herbal remedy for weight loss on the market. There are more than 20 plant species in the genus Hoodia. Hoodia gordonii is the only species in that genus known to contain the active ingredient p57 which is thought to suppress appetite.
WHAT IS HOODIA GORDONII: Hoodia (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is a cactus-like plant that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Hoodia gordonii grows in clumps of green upright stems. Although it is often called a cactus because it resembles one, hoodia is actually a succulent plant. It takes about five years before hoodia gordonii's pale purple flowers appear and the plant can be harvested.
APPETITE SUPPRESSANT: Hoodia is today’s answer for the millions across the world who want to shed some pounds off their bodies and look slimmer. How does it do this? Its chemical composition resembles that of glucose or acts as pseudo-Glucose, but is far more powerful than glucose in its glucose-like behavior.
THE HISTORY OF HOODIA HORDONII: Hoodia's weight loss effects were attributed to its use by the San people of the Kalahari Desert, who gnawed on the plant to block hunger and increase energy when on long hunting expeditions. The practice was brought to the attention of the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in the 1960s. By 1977, the CSIR isolated the steroid sugar believed to trigger this effect, which they deemed P57.
STOP HUNGER TO LOSE WEIGHT: It is theorized that P57 acts on the brain in a manner similar to glucose. It tricks the brain into thinking one is full even when they have not eaten, reduces interest in food and delays the time before hunger sets in. It appears to work at the level of the hypothalamus to inhibit hunger signals.
RESEARCH BACKING UP HOODIA BENEFITS: Researchers have discovered that hoodia gordonii contains a molecule that is many times more effective than glucose at decreasing hunger pangs. In clinical studies participants that took hoodia for just two weeks showed a significant reduction in their average daily calorie intake and body fat content when compared to the placebo group.
