Hoodia Gordonii has become very popular popular as a way to lose weight, but there are still many people that aren’t too sure what hoodia diet pills are and how it can help them.
Hoodia is a plant that is widely used by the San people of Southern Africa. It is a genus of succulent plants in the family of Apocynaceae and is used as an appetite suppressant and a thirst quencher. Hoodia is also used as a cure for some ailments such as severe abdominal cramps, tuberculosis, haemorrhoids, hypertension, diabetes and indigestion.
The communities known to use the Hoodia plant are the Anikhwe (Northern Botswana), Khomani (North Western South Africa), Hai om (Northern Namibia) and the Xun and Khwe (from Angola). There is little known about the use of this group of plants by other native people but it has been shown that Hoodia parts have had limited use as food items, although not as preferred food items.
The development of hoodia as an appetite-suppressant was triggered when the CSIR – or Council for Scientific and Industrial Research – in South Africa isolated an active compound known as P57 for appetite suppression from Hoodia gordonii. The ‘P57’ molecule mimics the effect that the glucose has on the brain and sends the signal telling you that you are full. As a result you feel full and have no desire to eat.
The CSIR then licensed the rights for further development of the P57 compound and the setting up of a sustainable production system to Phytopharm in the UK, who in turn then sub licensed the rights to Pfizer for the development and global commercialization.
A series of studies were carried out in the UK using the plant with obese patients, half of whom were given the Hoodia Gordonii product, while the other half were given a placebo. The patients were allowed to eat as normal. After a period of 15 days, it was found that the patients taking the Hoodia had actually reduced their calorie intake by as much as 1000 calories a day. Although they had open access to the food, they didn’t eat as much as they normally did, due to the appetite-suppressant qualities in the hoodia.
You may see Hoodia at very low prices on the internet, but it is unlikely to be the genuine product. Always seek a reputable source for your hoodia diet pills.
