Millennium Health Supplements (Canada) Inc. a raw material and ingredient supplier for the nutra/pharmaceutical and veterinarian industries since 1995 has recently been awarded a Conservation Certificate for export of Pure Hoodia Gordonii directly from South Africa into the North American market. Hoodia Gordonii is an all-natural appetite suppressing succulent plant (part of the aloe family) from South Africa with no known side effects or stimulants.
Although hoodia gordonii is new to the U.S. and Canada, this great all-natural product is taking over the multi-billion dollar diet industry here.
Currently, Hoodia Gordonii for the consumer is mainly available through internet sales.
You can visit our website listed on this page for both retail and bulk Hoodia Gordonii products. Hoodia works by mimicking the effect glucose has on the nerve cells in the brain fooling the body into believing it is full, even when it is not.
Results of human clinical trials in Britain suggest that hoodia could reduce the appetite by up to 2,000 calories per day.While many people feel the appetite suppressant kicking in sometimes within 20 minutes of ingestion, it is felt that the general population responds to hoodia within 1 ? 2 weeks of starting the program.
Some morbidly obese people (more than double their normal weight), who describe themselves as eating machines since childhood, say that although they felt the appetite suppressant kicking in after 2 ? 3 weeks, it took a few weeks before they realized their interest in food was significantly decreasing, thereby helping to change life long eating habits.
According to the WHO, more than 1 billion people around the world are overweight with 300 million of them clinically or morbidly obese.
Reports say that over the next 5 years, deaths related to obesity will increase by 20% in keeping with a reported 20% increase in plus-sized coffins sales since 1999 in the USA.

What Is Hoodia?
Hoodia has been used by South African Bushmen as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher during long hunting trips for more than 100,000 years. It was discovered during a study of indigenous foods by a lab in South Africa, and may represent a great opportunity for the South African economy as well as a diet miracle for many who have given up on other weight loss products. Hoodia is a succulent cactus?like plant, with stalks that look like spiky pickles. However, it does not belong to the cactus family. Hoodia plants grow up to about 1m tall, with large strong smelling flowers in the wild of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.
They are known to the indigenous people as Xhoba.
Hoodia Gordonii is the species that is being researched for its appetite suppressant properties. There are other Hoodia species, some of which are grown in gardens, but only Hoodia Gordonii is thought to contain the active ingredient, Hoodia P57.
