What is Hoodia ???

Hoodia Gordonii is a South African desert succulent. It became very popular some years ago, when the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) examined the food of Bushmen tribes. They found that this plant helped in losing weight.

For the centuries Bushmen ate Hoodia to shake off hunger and thirst during their several days lasting hunting. In our time Hoodia Gordonii is the most talked about natural appetite suppressant on the west world. Its active component (called molecule P57) tricks the brain making it think, that the stomach is full and feel you fed up. So you eat less and feel satiety quicker. As you can see the organism’s reaction on Hoodia is similar to one on glucose. But in contradistinction to glucose sugar Hoodia is almost calories free.
