Pure Hoodia Gordonii Succulent

Authentic Hoodia Gordonii is one of the rarest botanicals in the world. A succulent grows exclusively in South Africa. Scientists have isolated several compounds in the Hoodia Gordonii Succulent that helps suppress the appetite. It contains a molecule called P57 that is 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and makes those nerve cells feel as if you are full and this in turn stunts the appetite. It tricks the brain into thinking that you are full. To date, there are no known adverse side effects caused by the use of Hoodia Gordonii Succulent.

Hoodia in the News

"Imagine this: an organic diet pill that kills the appetite and attacks obesity. It has no known side effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full. Deep inside the African Kalahari desert, grows an ugly cactus called the Hoodia. It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the worlds oldest and most primitive tribes, have been eating the Hoodia a plant for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips. When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P 57. A license was sold to a Cambridgeshire bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, who in turn sold the development and marketing rights to the giant Pfizer Corporation".

What You Need to Know About Hoodia Gordonii:

Desert Plant is Promising Appetite Suppressant and Weight Loss Supplement

By Mary Shomon

If you have not heard about the supplement Hoodia Gordonii, there is no doubt you will very soon. Hoodia, a natural appetite suppressant, is earning attention as a potentially powerful weapon in the war against obesity and the American focus on losing weight. Hoodia supplements were just introduced to the U.S. market in early 2004.

Here are some key points about Hoodia that you need to know:
  • Hoodia Gordonii looks like a cactus, but it is actually a succulent from the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. Bushmen from the area have been using Hoodia for centuries to help ward off hunger during long trips in the desert.
  • Hoodia Gordonii is entirely natural -- it is not a drug. Pharmaceutical companies find it so promising, however, that they are trying to isolate the appetite-suppressing molecule, P57, to create a patented diet drug in the
    future.
  • Only the Gordonii variation of Hoodia has appetite suppressant abilities.
  • Hoodia tricks the brain into thinking you have eaten, and makes you feel full.
  • Hoodia may work right away, or may take several weeks.
  • Key results of Hoodia reported include a reduced interest in food, delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again, feeling full more quickly, and a general feeling of well-being
  • Hoodia Gordonii is not a stimulant, and has no known side effects.
  • Hoodia appears to be safe for most people.
  • I have been taking Hoodia periodically since early 2004 and find it can be a help in an overall weight loss effort.
