What is Hoodia?

Answer:
Hoodia is a powerful and natural appetite suppressant

derived from a cactus grown in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. The plant has been used for centuries by the San Bushmen of the region who used to eat it to combat hunger when embarking on long hunting trips.

It contains a molecule that was licensed exclusively to Phytopharm by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in 2001, after a clinical study on overweight individuals produced a significant reduction in their calorie intake and body fat. This molecule, now called P57, affects the brain in the same way blood sugar does causing a release of cells to give a feeling of fullness. Supplements containing hoodia are currently widely available on the internet.
