What is Hoodia Gordonii and where does it
come from?
Hoodia Gordonii (Asclepiadaceae) looks
like a cactus, but is actually a milkweed-like plant that grows
in Botswana and the Kalahari Desert in Southwestern Africa. It
was just introduced to the US market in early 2004.

What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to
support this?
Hoodia Gordonii has been used by the South African San tribe for
thousands of years. The San used this plant when they went
hunting. Hoodia helped to prolong hunting trips by suppressing
hunger, increasing energy levels and even improving libido! |
Modern science has shed light on how Hoodia functions. It is
believed that Hoodia sends signals to the brain that make the
brain believe that the body is full, even when it is not. These
signals are believed to be thousands of times stronger than the
signals that sugar sends to the brain for the same reason.
This makes Hoodia a very powerful appetite suppressant, and a
very effective weight loss product. For this reason it is
included in many over-the-counter dietary weight loss
supplements.
A molecule in Hoodia, P57, is believed to be responsible for
Hoodias' ability to suppress appetite, increase energy levels,
and help with weight loss.
Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?
Those who wish to suppress appetite, increase energy levels and
lose weight can benefit greatly from using Hoodia as a
nutritional supplement.
When used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan and
exercise, Hoodia can help to bring about massive changes in body
composition, and can greatly improve a persons health.
The hardest part about losing weight are the cravings. Lets face
it: we all have foods that we love but that we know aren't that
great for us. We know that some foods are fattening, but when
the cravings come, what are we to do? Many of us give in.
Hoodia can help stop the cravings. This will help you stay
strong and on the course to success!
