Hoodia Gordonii Appetite Suppressants
Can Hoodia Gordonii really suppress your appetite? The indigenous tribe from the African Kalahari desert has used Hoodia Gordonii as an appetite suppressant for centuries. Now, this cactus plant is being commercialized to the western society as Hoodia Gordonii appetite suppressant.
In an interview done with a tribesman, the effectiveness of Hoodia Goronii as an appetite suppressant was brought up. "Hoodia stops hunger and also treats sickness," Steenkamp told ABCNEWS. "We, San, use the plant during hunting to fight off the pain of hunger and thirst."
Besides alleviating hunger and thirst, Hoodia Gordonii also provides a state of alertness but without the jittery feeling produced by the current Western diet remedy of ephedra stacked with caffeine. Thus it is an ideal choice for days' long hunts where prey is tracked over hundreds of miles.
Now drug firms are tapping into the San knowledge, and are hoping to make a fortune by developing the hoodia plant into a miracle slimming pill for millions of overweight Americans and Europeans.The commercial prospects of Hoodia Gordonii are so promising that they are trying to isolate the appetite-suppressing molecule, P57, to create a patented appetite suppressant in the future.
