Hoodia is being publicized through the major
national media as being the new miracle
supplement for safe, effective weight loss.
Hoodia is the botanical name for a cactus-like
plant that grows in Southern Africa. Scientists
have recently isolated several compounds
in this amazing plant that are responsible
for dramatic weight loss. This all-natural
appetite suppressant is also being praised
for containing no dangerous stimulants that
can cause adverse side effects.
Hoodia gordonii, "Whoo De AH",
is the botanical name for a leafless, spiky
succulent plant that grows throughout the
semi-arid areas of Southern Africa primarily
the Kalahari desert. The San (local inhabitants)
have rationally used Hoodia stems to stave
off hunger and thirst when on long journeys,
as it acts as an appetite suppressant. The
San bushmen have eaten the plant for years.
After years of careful research, scientists
isolated several compounds in this all-natural
food that was responsible for dramatic weight
loss, P57, which has been widely reported,
is but one of several chemical compounds
found in the Hoodia succulent. Not only
was it proven completely safe, it contains
no stimulates that could contribute to the
jittery feeling associated with weight loss
products of the last decade. Hoodia is registered
as a protected species to prevent Bio-Piracy
but is allowed to be grown on a handful
of commercial farms in South Africa owned
by private farmers. In the wild Hoodia takes
5-6 years to mature but is now being cultivated
in as little as 2 years commercially in
sustainable quantities and has become widely
known for its effects as an appetite suppressant.
How Hoodia Works
Hoodia tricks the brain into thinking that
you are full. It contains a molecule that
is 100,000 times as active as glucose. It
goes to the mid-brain and makes those nerve
cells feel as if you are full. The hypothalamus
receives this signal as an indication that
enough food has been consumed and this in
turn stunts the appetite. That's it! That's
the miracle of Hoodia!! It tricks the brain
into thinking you've eaten a three course
meal. After you spray-it, you're
simply not hungry anymore! You'll still
eat - but you'll eat a lot less!
