It is native to South Africa and is found mainly in the Kalahari Desert region. The use of Hoodia has long been known by the indigenous populations of Southern Africa. Hoodia Gordonii has been used for generations by the San Tribe of South Africa to stop hunger while they hunted for food during long trips in the desert.
South African Hoodia Gordonii is fast becoming known as the most effective weight loss ingredient available, Hoodia is being recognized by the Western World as The Number One Weight Loss Product. The Gordonii variety of the Hoodia species is the only one that contains the natural appetite suppressant molecule, now identified by scientists as P57!
The stem “core” or “heart” of the Hoodia Gordonii plant species contains the appetite suppressant molecule P57. P57 mimics the effects glucose has on the area of the brain known as the hypothalamus. When you eat, the glucose levels in your brain increase, as the levels rise the hypothalamus sends a signal to the brain telling it to stop eating. This is when you start to feel full Hoodia Gordonii’s active ingredient, P57 as it mimics effect. It makes you feel full without the usual hunger pains that accompany most diets.
If you don’t feel hungry, you don’t eat, thus you consume less and lose weight. Only quality Hoodia Gordonii supplement products are made using only the powdered form of the “heart” of the hoodia plant stem, as this is the part that has been shown to contain the active molecule P57.
A Hoodia Gordonii study conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) that asked a group of morbidly obese people to participate in a “phase 1 unit.” The individuals were placed in a closed-off area where all they were able to do was read, watch television, and eat. Half were given Hoodia Gordonii and half were given a placebo.
Fifteen days later, the group which had been taking the Hoodia Gordonii had reduced their caloric intake by 1000 calories a day – without diet and without exercise.
