TRIMSPA Expands Product Line Beyond Hoodia-based Weight Loss Supplements
Whippany, NJ (ContentDesk) May 18, 2006 - TRIMSPA announced today its roll out of METABOSPA, a new non-Hoodia based weight loss supplement. Time and again studies have shown that American adults are among the most overweight in the world, said Alex Goen, CEO of TRIMSPA. We also know that every persons body is different that a single weight loss formula wont work for everyone. Thats why weve expanded the TRIMSPA line to include a new, non-Hoodia based product to help reshape America, and the world, one body at time. METABOSPA, the Companys new metabolic accelerator, joins the product familys 3 weight loss formulas, TRIMSPA X32, Ultra and Energy. Unlike TRIMSPAs Hoodia-gordonii appetite suppressor products, X32, Ultra and Energy, METABOSPA is formulated to kick-start a sluggish metabolism and promote thermogenesis. Studies show that as people age, 7-oxo DHEA levels decrease, as does the bodys metabolic rate.
In studies, the U.S. patented ingredient, METABONEX, increases these levels and induces thermogenic enzymes at multiple levels to promote caloric efficiency.
We are very excited about introducing METABOSPA to the public, said Goen. An 8-week study of its ingredient indicated that when it was combined with a specific diet and exercise program, that combination resulted in 3 times as much weight loss as the same diet and exercise program alone.
About the study, Goen commented, Because effective weight loss is a lifestyle change, the study group used METABOSPA twice a day for 8 weeks along with a controlled daily diet of 1800 calories. In addition, participants engaged in an exercise plan of one hour of cross-training 3 times per week.
The weight loss results
3 times that of the same diet and exercise plan alone were amazing. Like most TRIMSPA products, METABOSPA is housed in the same environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art, counterfeit resistant bottle that has won TRIMSPA an International Business Award for Best Packaging Design Suite. The strong, yet lightweight bottle is made of 99.7% virgin aluminum and affords product protection against moisture and ultraviolet light.

Nature Grows Hoodia Plant and Hoodia Reduces Weight
Nature, like a true mother, has gifted us many beneficial things. The only obstacle, in the way of taking benefits from nature, is unawareness. The work of identifying vital property of a nature's gift Hoodia is done by the tribes of Kalahari Desert. Tribes, wherever they live, are near to the nature; they know their surroundings very well and have a power of adjustment with environment. Kalahari Desert is one of most unsuitable habitation for human beings but tribes are still successful to maintain their existence there.
Even the scarcity of food didn't make them extinct because they had the help of Hoodia plant.
Hoodia is a succulent plant, which looks like cactus and found in Kalahari Desert. The extract of Hoodia can work as an appetite suppressant. The tribal people used to chew the plant to suppress appetite before going for hunt in the desert. As there was no access to food and water...

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.

Hoodia > What Is Hoodia?
Hoodia Cactus
Most of the journalists used the name, "the African Hoodia Cactus" when they learned about the hunger-suppressing plant from South Africa. What they meant was "Hoodia Gordonii", found wild in the Kalahari Desert.
It does not belong to the cactus genus.
Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent. The Genus is Trichocaulon and the family name is Asclepiadaceae. It is a grayish brown plant with ten or more tentacles, resembling a long cucumber with spikes.
The height of the plant can be 18 inches to 6 feet. It is bitter-tasting, with an unpleasant smell.
The San Bushmen have been using this plant for thousands of years as a hunger suppressant while on long hunts. CSIR of South Africa took a patent on the plant as a weight-loss aid and sold it to a British pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm.
The plant grows only in a desert climate and takes about 5 to 7 years to mature. Attempts to grow them in China, Mexico and the USA failed.

Hoodia Gets Dirty
What is promised to be a great treatment for one of the western world's fastest growing diseases, obesity, is also turning in to a marketing catfight.For the uninitiated, Hoodia Gordonii was identified by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in the 1960's as a potential appetite suppressant.Used for generations by Kalahari Bushmen for generations as a way of defeating hunger on long and arduous hunting trips, the CSIR worked with a UK company Phytopharm to identify the active ingredient in Hoodia.
This they did, and Phytopharm named this ?miracle molecule' P57 (it was their 57th ?discovery).With Unilever now in partnership with Phytopharm to commercialise Hoodia, it promises to be a great support in the battle to stick to a healthy eating plan.Now although P57 is patented, the plant itself can not be, which has led to a deluge of
manufacturers of natural herbal supplements all producing Hoodia products, and causing a mass market confusion...

Hoodia: Nature?s Gift to All Obese
Nature is like a mother and human beings are its children. The mother always thinks about the welfare of her children. Mother loves that child more who is in some difficulty. Obesity is a difficult condition which generally occurs because of excessive intake of calories. If you have done the naughtiness of eating too much without doing appropriate amount of physical work then you may be suffering from obesity.
Nature already has a gift for all obese and Hoodia is the name of that gift.
Tribes live nearer to nature they know almost all traits of the things around them. Tribes of Kalahari Desert are no exception; they survived in extreme climatic condition for millenniums. For their survival in the scarcity of food they rely on hunting. They generally go deep in the desert in search of food and it can take a complete day to get any animal to hunt.
In such a condition, they have to suppress their appetite which they do with the help of Hoodia plant....

Does Hoodia Promote Weight Loss That's Too Fast?
Memphis, TN (ContentDesk) June 14, 2006 -- Health officials and weight loss experts say they believe the newly discovered Hoodia Gordonii, a plant that tricks the brain by making the stomach feel full, is the silver bullet theyve been seeking for decades.???A new pill, called DiatrinH, contains the appetite suppressant Hoodia, which is found inside cactus trees in the African Kalahari desert. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the worlds oldest and most primitive tribes, have been eating Hoodia for thousands of years to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.The first scientific investigation of the plant was conducted at South Africas national laboratory. Because Bushmen were known to eat hoodia, it was included in a study of indigenous foods. "What they found was when they fed it to animals, the animals ate it and lost weight," says Dr. Richard Dixey, who heads an English pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm.In the study, people given hoodia ended up eating about 1...
