Every year , Americans spend more than $40 billion on products designed to help them slim down, firm up, and feel better about their bodies. Up until now, none of them seem to be doing anything. Along comes hoodia. Never heard of it? Soon it’ll be falling off your tongue, because hoodia is an all-natural substance that literally spirits your appetite away. Having trouble believing in another miracle drug? So was I until I did extensive research on the Hoodia cactus.
This article will discuss the history of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, how this natural appetite suppressant works, and where you can get some of the most potent natural appetite suppressant from the Hoodia plant.
Hoodia was first discovered in 1937 by a Dutch anthropologist who was sent to complete research on the habits of the nomadic hunters of the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. He found that the tribesmen would often dine on the plant when food and water became scarce. His research led to the discovery of an all-natural appetite suppressant. It is not known exactly when the tribesmen of the Kalahari began using the succulent Hoodia plant to stave off starvation, but tribal shamans claim in has been used for hundreds of years.
Hoodia is very different from diet stimulants like Ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects including symptoms such as sleeplessness, increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, and/or high blood pressure. Hoodia doesn’t stimulate at all. In fact, the all-natural substance has NO side effects whatsoever. Unless of course, you consider losing weight a side effect.
In 1977, the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) isolated the ingredient in hoodia—now known as P57—which is responsible for its appetite-suppressant effect, and patented it in 1996. After extensive animal research, Dr. Richard M. Goldfarb- the medical director of clinical research in Morrisville, Pennsylvania- ran the first extensive human testing of Hoodia and found that “Hoodia is effective as a natural appetite suppressant and has no adverse side effects.” Case closed.
Given that there are such a wide range of Hoodia products available that are derived from the Hoodia plant, it’s vitally important that consumers don’t give in to inexpensive knock-offs, and that they only purchase Pure South African Hoodia Gordonii products for the results that they are looking for. The best distributor I have found is www.hoodiburn.com. So get going, pick up your miracle drug, and begin to enjoy the wonderful world of Hoodia.
