Hoodia Weight Loss Pills - What is Hoodia Gordonii ?

The South African Hoodia Gordonii Cactus is known by many names. It is called xshoba or xhooba by the San Bushmen who have used it to treat indigestion, minor skin infections and as an appetite and thirst suppressant during long hunts. The scientific name is Hoodia Gordonii. It is actually a succulent so the names Hoodia cactus and South African desert cactus are actually misnomers, but they are commonly used. The plant resembles a cactus when seen growing wild in the Kalahari Desert.

Hoodia Weight Loss Pills - Is it Doctor Recommended?

In a BBC interview, Phytopharm’s Dr. Richard Dixey explained how P57 works:
There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full. What the Hoodia 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 do you want to.

Hoodia Weight Loss Pills - Side Effects

No adverse effects of Hoodia Gordonii have been reported; in fact it has been in the African food chain for many years. Some of the world’s oldest and most prehistoric tribes in Africa had been eating raw Hoodia for thousands of years to compensate their hunger during their long hunting trips. Even local tribes, whose ancestors have been using the plant for thousands of years, confirm that there are no negative side effects with Hoodia Gordonii.

Hence it has been established as a food and not a medicine in South Africa. The only side effect that Hoodia Gordonii has will cause your brain to believe that you are ‘full’ even without the sufficient amount of food ingested. This could be a problem if you need the energy and power to do some arduous activities.
