Hoodia - The Miracle Natural Herb For Weight Loss

This plant from South Africa may hold the key to miraculous weight loss. Discovered early in the 1960s, this plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa has shown some remarkably amazing qualities, not least of all, its ability to suppress the appetite.

Although there are more than 40 different varieties of the Hoodia plant, only the Hoodia Gordonii has the active ingredient known as P57, which is the appetite suppressing agent. This ingredient mimics the effect that glucose has on the brain, it basically tells the brain that the stomach is full, and therefore, there is no need to consume any food.

The African bushmen of the Kalahari Desert have been using this plant for thousands of years, using it to stave off hunger when they go on long trips. It doesn't seem to have any bad side effects on them, although they do not consume this plant every day or in a regular manner.

People who try out Hoodia supplements and pills regularly report that they can stop feeling hungry for as long as 8 to 12 hours, some even report that they are hunger free, with no cravings for any food or drink for the whole day.

Scientific and clinical studies conducted since the discovery of the Hoodia Gordonii have mostly validated the appetite suppressing power of the plant. It works on animals as well as on humans. One study showed that people on average consumed 1000 calories less per day compared to a control group. This also resulted in a corresponding weight loss.

Imagine this - take the Hoodia Gordonii supplement or pill and feel no urge to eat, hence you can lose weight automatically, without much effort on your part. Just its affect of feeling full will prevent you from eating more food, and hence you will reduce your weight without doing much else.

Although the active ingredient, P57 has been identified, it is still not economically viable to synthesize this by a chemical process, so the only way now to get this is for the pharmaceutical companies to actually grow the Hoodia plant in large plantations.

Do beware of fake Hoodia pills and supplements. To guarantee that you are getting the real Hoodia, make sure that the pills or supplements have been independently tested. Alkemist Pharmaceuticals or Chromodex are two companies that have been licensed to test Hoodia by Phytopharm (the people who discovered the active ingredient).

As a miracle weight loss product, Hoodia certainly fulfills the conditions.
