Does Hoodia Really Work?

source: writer: pubdate:2008-03-14 hits:
Used to be all you'd hear about was the problem of obesity in the US. Now there's a genuine solution to this problem, as well as a real helping hand for all of us dealing with being overweight. It's called Hoodia Gordonii.

Hoodia Gordonii is a genuine natural appetite suppressant. It was first introduced to America in 2004.


What is Hoodia Gordonii?

Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus-like plant or 'succulent' that grows in the high Kalahari Desert region of South Africa. It is 100% natural and has no negative stimulant properties.

The San Bushmen people of the Kalahari - a tribe of hunter-gatherers with a 28,000-year-old culture and history in using native plants for medicinal purposes - have been using the Hoodia Gordonii plant for millennia. Specifically, they use Hoodia Gordonii to help ward off hunger and thirst when they make long hunting trips across the desert.

So... 'Does Hoodia Really Work?', And If So... How?

There are various species of Hoodia, but the Gordonii variation is the only one that contains the all-natural appetite suppressant. This type of Hoodia contains a molecule that has similar effects on nerve cells as glucose, and literally 'tricks' the brain into a sensation of having eaten your fill.

Results of human clinical trials in Britain and Europe suggest that Hoodia may reduce the appetite by many hundreds of calories per day!

This sensation of 'tricking' is how Hoodia Gordonii does its work for you in a specific part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, your blood sugar goes up and these cells start firing. Your brain then tells you that you are now full.

What Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes these nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten, and you do not have the urge to eat.

So when people ask 'Does Hoodia Really Work?', you can inform them that this is exactly how it does the job.
