Hoodia Gordonii Pills
Mechanism of Action of Hoodia : Hoodia Gordonii is beneficial in reducing and, or eliminating the desire for food. It also increases energy and can have an aphrodisiac-like effect on the user. The appetite suppressing and mood enhancing property (ten thousand times as active as glucose) goes to the mid-brain causing neuron nerve cells to fire as if you were full, even when you're not. Hoodia is indicated for treatment of Overeating, compulsive overeating, food addiction, and eating disorder leading to obesity. Hoodia is not a drug - it is the world's most famous natural appetite suppressant.
There are two types of Source materials available to manufacturers of Hoodia supplements. The first is 100% Hoodia Gordonii Powder and the second (and more common) type is what is the 20:1 Extract. We use the first type and offer only 100% Hoodia Gordonii powder as we believe it to be the best source material to use if one hopes to realize the benefits that Hoodia can provide.
Hoodia Vs. Other Herbal Diet Pills : The diet pharmaceutical companies thought they found it in starch-blockers, in ephedra, in fat binders. the list goes on. While many of these worked, they often came with a heavy list of side effects, many of them dangerous. After an initial flurry of excitement and sales, most were knocked off track by reports of dangers associated with their use, and some were even banned from U.S. sale. Most diet pills and supplements work by trying to increase the rate at which our body burns fat. If you think about our body as a machine, calories provide the fuel. If you run the machine (body) hotter, faster and harder - you burn more fuel (calories); but run any machine too hot and hard for long and you can have problems. This was the problem with ephedra. Many people who took ephedra supplements lost weight, but there were serious health risks. Things like strokes and heart attacks were too real a possibility when using ephedra. What makes Hoodia supplements so different is they really work to prevent weight gain. Take in less calories than you burn and you will lose weight. Hoodia gives you a powerful weapon to fight hunger and therefore take in less calories.
Hoodia Explained : The African name for this plant is Xhoba but scientists know it by its botanical name, Hoodia Gordonii. Forming clumps of erect multi-angled stems this spiny, perennial succulent that looks like a cactus is not a cactus (there are no native cacti in Africa) is a It is actually a member of the milkweed Asclepiadaceae family and can grow 2 1/2 feet tall. Not 6 feet as some would have believe. The large brownish unpleasant smelling flower located at the tips of the Hoodia Gordonii stems ensures its propagation and survival in the wild by emitting a distinct carrion odor to attract the flies which pollinate them. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia Gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.
Today fifty million Americans are attempting to slim down with just a low five percent sustaining the weight loss they are seeking. To look at the state of obesity in America effectively you need to step aside from the examination of diet pills and weight loss supplements like Hoodia and observe the bigger picture. If Hoodia is going to accomplish what no other diet pill has ever done, help people to keep the weight off; dieters are going to need to look at this supplement in a different way than they have all the pills that have come before. Hoodia is not the magic diet pill that will melt the pounds off. In fact Hoodia won't actually make you lose weight at all; it doesn't do what other diet pills do; which is quickening your metabolism so you burn calories. What Hoodia does do is fool the brain into thinking your stomach is full. So if your plan is to just take Hoodia pills without proper nutrition, then know that what you are doing is the equivalency of going on a starvation diet. Hoodia will help you not be hungry but if you just don't eat you won't be doing yourself any favor, you will gain that weight back and you'll blame it on the Hoodia.
How Hoodia Gordonii works : The active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii, the molecule known as P57, imitates the effects that glucose has on your brain, signaling that you are full. Your brain has what is called a Hypothalamus. This part of your brain controls your appetite. When you eat, the glucose levels in your body rise. As these levels go up, the hypothalamus sends off a signal to your cells to stop eating. This is when you start to feel full. Hoodia Gordonii's molecule, P57, tells your brain the same exact thing, even if you haven't eaten a bite. By mimicking the effects of glucose on your brain, the hypothalamus starts to send messages to your cells which in turn, make you feel full. Recent studies have shown that test participants were able to cut 1000 to 1500 calories from their diet each day, without feeling the least bit hungry. Some people have even tested it on their overweight dogs and found that they refused to eat. Hoodia Gordonii simply makes you feel full and without the usual hunger pains that accompany fad diets.
The molecule that has been linked to the appetite suppressing abilities of Hoodia Gordonii, now called P.57, appears to affect both humans and animals. It is important to note that the molecule isolated in Hoodia Gordonii does not necessarily affect the appetite when eating high carbohydrate or sugar diets or when hunger is caused by physical exercise. While P.57 can signal to the brain that the body is full, the sugar drops and physical requirement for nourishment can counteract these effects.
The only place in the world where Hoodia grows in the wild is the Kalahari desert in southern Africa. The plant has been eaten for centuries by the Kalahari bushmen living in the area, reportedly to prevent hunger during long journeys. A South African laboratory that had been studying indigenous plants for many years identified a molecule in the Hoodia plant, termed P57, that appears to suppress appetite. Scientists say that the active ingredient in Hoodia, P57, acts on the brain in a manner similar to glucose and sends the message that you are full even when you have not eaten, thus decreasing your desire to eat. Ingestion of the Hoodia plant has no known reported side effects, although its taste is considered to be unpleasant and bitter.
Hoodia Gordonii has been proven to work as an appetite suppressant, it's completely natural, and it has absolutely no side effects. Scientists have
