What is it?

Hoodia is a South African succulent, because of its prickly green appearance, is often mistakenly referred to as a cactus. Recently scientific research has proven what the Kalahari San bushmen have known for thousands of years: hoodia gordonii is a nutritious food that is extremely effective at reducing the appetite.

What it does?

The active ingredient that makes hoodia work was isolated and called p57 by a firm named Phytopharm. Its active component (called molecule P57) tricks the brain making it think, that the stomach is full and feel you fed up. So you eat less and feel satiety quicker. As you can see the organism’s reaction on Hoodia is similar to one on glucose. But in contradistinction to glucose sugar Hoodia is almost calories free.
 
Hoodia can now be found in a variety of forms most popular are tea, capsule, and powder, though it is also available in liquid as well. Hoodia works by sending signals to the brain telling the body that it is full. When taken before a meal with a full glass of water the user will notice a marked decrease in thier appetite. It is best to take the supplement 30 minutes to one hour before meal time. Since hoodia works by decreasing your appetite for a short period of time it is best to use hoodia along with an exercise program.
