Natural Hoodia Gordonii that grows in the South African desert region has long been used by the indigenous tribes there. The plant, while spectacularly ugly to look at, has been credited with helping indigenous huntsmen survive otherwise treacherous treks across inhospitable landscapes. This is because the Hoodia plant helps to suppress appetite. The huntsmen didn’t have to eat as much, which left them more time and opportunity to hunt. These huntsmen have been eating the plant for years, and it is only in recent time that Hoodia Gordonii and its benefits have been appreciated by the rest of the world.
When buying natural Hoodia Gordonii, whether it is online or in a shop, make sure that you look out for CITES documents, which will give you a reassurance that the product is legitimate. This measure has to be taken due to the fact that for a long time now some disreputable companies have tried to sell people Hoodia that is not real. Look out for the CITES documentation, and you cannot go wrong.
There are many Hoodia plants that can be harvested or many types at least. The Hoodia plant itself is actually quite rare, taking up to seven years to get to the state where it can be harvested. Hence the restrictions on trade in the plant and its extracts. These restrictions lead to the need for certification. The governments of South Africa have voiced their concerns that the Hoodia plant may become extinct. They have also suggested that other plants may be harvested by accident, hence the need to protect. While the business thrives, certain companies are still being unscrupulous about it all. Companies who are genuinely selling you real Hoodia Gordonii will generally display their CITES credentials on their website.
Some companies even take things a step further, and display detailed chemical analysis reports. These companies take pains to prove their authenticity, and supply what they are selling to independent research laboratories. This allows these labs to thoroughly examine the product the company is trying to sell, and ascertain whether or not it is genuine. Once the results are in, and they are in favour of the company, they are vindicated, and prominently display details of the lab reports on their website and promotional material. Generally speaking, if you can see evidence of such a lab report, the product is genuine.
Hoodia Gordonii works in quite a complex way. The extract contains something called p57, a glycoside. This glycoside holds the key to the effectiveness of Hoodia in managing the diet of the user. Brown University medical School published the first major study of the effect of p57 on an area of the human brain called the hypothalamus. The glycoside p57 affects the nerves in the hypothalamus, specifically the area that monitors blood sugar levels.
When blood glucose levels are low, our brain registers this fact, and tells us that we are hungry. This is an almost instantaneous effect. When the blood glucose stabilises, our brain tells us we are not hungry.
The p57 element in Hoodia actually works to convince the brain that we are not hungry through stabilising blood glucose levels, even when we do not eat. The message is the same; we are told that we are not hungry, even when not a morsel of food has passed our lips. Thus the brain sends out a strong signal to the rest of the body that we are not hungry, and the effect of the appetite being suppressed has been achieved.
Other appetite suppressants do not work in this way. They often provide a stimulus, which can make a person feel more energetic and less hungry. The problem with stimulants is that they work with some people and not others. They can actually make people feel anxious rather than calm and in control. They sometimes do nothing to reduce the feelings of hunger. People who have used Hoodia Gordonii have reported that there are no feelings of anxiety and that there are no feelings of hunger.
Higher dosages of Hoodia can work better for some people. It is best to try it for yourself and see what packages suits you.
