Hoodia is a cactus like plant. It comes far from the civilized world. The plant has been in use by the San tribe or Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert from the time unknown. The plant is a natural appetite suppressant. The Bushmen used to have this plant extracts to overcome hunger during long desert sojourns.
It is only recently that Phytopharm succeeded in extracting P-57, the active molecule to suppress appetite from Hoodia Gordonii plant.
The P-57 molecule has been patented with Phytopharm. After that Pfizer seized upon the opportunity and got marketing rights of P-57 from Phytopharm. As of now Pfizer has returned the marketing rights as they were unable to develop a P-57 molecule synthetically and economically. At present Unilever has joined hands with Phytopharm to market Hoodia diet pill as diet supplements in their diet food product line.
The history apart, the usage of Hoodia diet pill gives an individual the sensation of full stomach for next twenty four hours. Appetite suppression is important in case an individual wishes to get away from obesity.
As there is no food inside the stomach the body mechanism uses up energy stored in the form of fat for normal functioning of the body. Thus Hoodia diet pill serves dual purpose of suppressing appetite and letting the body to use up energy stored in the form of fat.
Unlike other appetite suppressants, Hoodia diet pills do not have any side effects. But there is a precaution which should be taken if you are to take Hoodia diet pills. Intake of a food by the nursing mother or pregnant woman is necessary for the development of the child. So, if such a woman avoids food during such period by taking Hoodia diet pill the child may not be developed properly.
The plus point of Hoodia diet pill is that, there are no side effects plus the content of the pill are natural.
It has taken a long time for Hoodia to come from Kalahari Desert to our diet plan. Let us take cue from the Bushmen and stay away from any future diseases related to obesity with Hoodia diet pill. Do not forget to follow a diet regimen and regular exercises in addition to the usage of the diet pill..
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.
