INTRODUCTION:
South African scientists have been testing Hoodia since
1996 when they discovered the plant contained a previously
unknown molecule that replicates the effect glucose has on nerve
cells in the brain fooling the body into thinking it is full,
even when it is not. Hoodia appetite
suppressing molecule is said to be almost 10,000 times stronger
than glucose. A U.S. pharmaceutical company spent over 400
million dollars researching this molecule.
Description of Hoodia Gordonii
Hoodia
Gordonii has been used for generations by South African
tribesmen to starve off hunger and thirst during long hunting
expeditions. Hoodia is
difficult to grow and requires just the right amount of water,
sun light, and temperature. It takes five years for Hoodia to grow
to full maturity. To test the Hoodia, morbidly
obese people from Leicester, England, were kept in a place as
close to prison as it gets. All the volunteers could do was read
papers and watch television and eat. Half thgroup was given Hoodia
Gordonii and half was given a placebo. At the end of 15
days, the group on Hoodia had
reduced their food intake by 1000 calories a day. Given the
average daily diet is around 2200 calories, this was a
remarkable success! Another clinical study performed in 18
overweight but healthy males provided statistical evidence that
the Hoodia
Gordonii extract reduced the average daily calorie intake
and reduced body-fat over the 2 week clinical trial period. In
addition to eliminating hunger and suppressing the appetite Hoodia also
seems to boost energy levels and counteract depression, some
folks even report aphrodisiac-like qualities. The efficacy of Hoodia
Gordonii been established with a profound weight loss and a
good emergent safety profile.
