What Is It?
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!


How Much Should Be Taken?
And Are There Any Side Effects?

It is important to strictly adhere to label recommendations.

Scientific data on Hoodia Gordonii is still emerging, and Hoodia may not be for everyone. Persons considering Hoodia Gordonii supplementation should consult with their physician before making any changes to their health care plans.
