Hoodia History
Hoodia is not from the family of cactus, it just looks like cactus.
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 cacti are native to the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana,
Namibia and Angola. There are about 20 species in this family but
the gordonii is the one that contains a natural appetite
suppressant.
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. .
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 is earning attention as a potentially powerful
weapon in the war against obesity. The product is a natural appetite
suppressant. The Hoodia Gordonii plant grows in the Kalahari Desert
region of South Africa. It looks like a cactus but in fact is not
from the cactus family, but succulents' family. The Hoodia plant
has been used for centuries by the San People of the Kalahari to
stave hunger and thirst for weeks, months and even years across
the desert. Hoodia stops hunger and treats sickness.
Never
Hoodia is totally different from diet stimulants like Ephedra and
Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia
doesn't stimulate at all. According to scientists, it fools the
brain by making you think you're full, even if you've eaten just
a morsel.
