Hoodia Gordonii has been touted as a very effective, all-natural, appetite suppressant. The hoodia gordonii plant was first eaten by the San Bushmen in the African Kalahari desert in order to stave off hunger during long hunting trips. Hoodia Gordonii burst on the weight loss scene in the United States when 60 Minutes broke the news with this November 21, 2002 headline, "African Plant May Help Fight Fat." Since then, millions of individuals have clamored to get hold of the supplement.
The first scentific studies regarding hoodia were conducted by the South African National Laboratory in the 1960's. It took 30 years to uncover and identify the specific appetite suppressing ingredient. This wonder ingredient is now known as P57. P57 tricks the brain into believing that the body is full. Miraculously, there are no known side effects. That means no shakes, no racing heart, and no raised body temperature.
The patent and license of P57 was sold to Phytoderm. Phytoderm has already spent in excess of $20 million so far in research and clinical trials. Studies have found that individuals who take hoodia gordonii, end up eating nearly 1000 calories less than individuals who did not. Hoodia gordonii may be the perfect supplement to help jumpstart your weight loss efforts.
