How does hoodia gordonii work?
The most active ingredient of the plant is the P57 molecule. This compound appears to work by increasing the content of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in nerve cells in the hypothalamus, the brain?s control center for regulating temperature, thirst and appetite. ATP is an energy producing molecule formed from glucose, the brain?s dominant fuel source, When levels of ATP increased in hypothalamic nerve cells, it appears that those nerve cells fire as if you had just eaten. Thus hoodia gordonii acts like a herbal diet pill.
What the hoodia gordonii seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten, nor will you want to."
Plant Description
The hoodia gordonii cactus is classified as a succulent plant in the family Asclepiadaceae. The hoodia plant grows in a form of multi-stemmed clumps 45cm (18in) high and bears beautiful pale purple disc-shaped flowers 7.5-10cm (3-4in) in diameter. The cactus species, hoodia gordonii is only indigenous to the Kalahari region of South Africa.
History
In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San People known formerly as The Bushmen, the indigenous people in the Kalahari desert region noted that they sucked on the stem of this succulent plant. These bushmen did not eat on their two to three day hunts, instead, they munched on the stem of hoodia to suppress their hunger and thirst. The San people of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, are known for their rock art, trance-dancing and and survival skills in their desert enviroment can trace their heritage back some 27,000 years on the basis of rock paintings drawn by their ancestors, had been eating hoodia for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.
In the 1960?s the San Tribe revealed the secrets of the plant to the South African Army. Three decades ago, South African scientists at a government lab called the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) began studying the hoodia gordonii cactus plant and noticed that lab animals eating this plant lost weight, but otherwise did well. They discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, called P 57.The ingredient responsible or appetite suppression. Extracts from this succulent have been studied in clinical trials. These studies have shown that obese subjects can reduce their caloric intake by 30% to 40%. Significant weight loss has resulted from such a drop in caloric intake.
Only recently has the plant been introduced as a natural dietary supplement for weight control
Clinical trials
Dr Dixey of the UK organized the first animal trials for hoodia gordonii. Rats, a species that will eat literally anything, stopped eating completely. When the first human clinical trial was conducted, a morbidly obese group of people were placed in a "phase 1 unit", a place as close to prison as it gets. All the volunteers could do all day was read papers, watch television, and eat. Half were given hoodia gordonii, half placebo. Fifteen days later, the hoodia gordonii group had reduced their caloric intake by 1000 a day and they lost 2lbs of pure body fat at the end of the experiment. None of the volunteers had exercised. It was a stunning success.

FAQ?
Q: What is Hoodia?
A : Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent in the family Asclepiadaceae. It forms multi-stemmed clumps 45cm (18in) high and bears unpleasant-smelling, pale purple disc-shaped flowers 7.5-10cm (3-4in) in diameter. Hoodia Gordonii is indigenous to the Kalahari region of South Africa.
Q. Who discovered it?
The San Tribe previously know as the Bushmen used this succulent to stave hunger and thirst during long hunting trips for days on end.
Q: Is pure hoodia a drug?
A: No, pure hoodia gordonii is an all natural dietary supplement and contains NO caffeine or ephedra.
Q: What are the side effects?
A: To date there are no significant reported side effects.
Q: How much Hoodia should I use?
A : Most people have great success with taking 2-3 capsules per day, one hour before mealtimes. As succession progresses a person would require fewer dosages per day.
Q: What is the source of your Hoodia?
A : Genuine hoodia gordonii, only indigenous to the Kalahari region of South Africa, now a protected species in South Africa, is grown on privately owned farms in South Africa. It does not grow in other parts of Africa, so beware of imitations.
Q. What is the difference between hoodia gordonii refined powder and Hoodia Gordonii 20:1 extract?
A : Refined hoodia gordonii powder is the closest you can get to natural hoodia gordonii succulent. However the theory is if you take 20 lbs of hoodia gordonii succulent and you extract it through an extreme heat and alcohol process you will end up with a compound that is 20 times stronger than it's original mass. But this is in theory but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to have 20 times more of the substance that you want, i.e. the P57 molecule. Some large name companies have found out the hard way, independent tests showed no discernable hoodia gordonii found in them let alone the P57 molecule.
