:: HOODIA Appetite Suppressant
What it does?
This
cactus-like plant contains substances that may exert dramatic
control over hunger, appetite, and thirst. Although the Hoodia
gordonii plant looks like a cactus, it belongs to a category
of plants called succulents. The use of Hoodia as an appetite
suppressant is supported by both colorful folklore history
and recent scientific studies. Hoodia is well known to the
San bushmen of South Africa , who learned from the teachings
of their ancestors to eat this plant to reduce hunger sensations.
The San bushmen of South Africa believe that Hoodia is their
food, water, and medicine.
Hoodia gordonii has been used for centuries
by the San bushmen of South Africa . These people may have,
at times, consumed Hoodia on a regular basis. The “San” are
known to have chewed on the plant during times of food scarcity,
in order to alleviate hunger and thirst. Hoodia gordonii was
found by bushmen to be particularly valuable for use during
arduous hunting expeditions in the Kalahari desert . The Kalahari
desert is a principle home for the San bushmen and it is a
prime location for the growth of the succulent plant, Hoodia
gordonii. The power of this succulent plant, known to the
San as !khoba (Hoodia) is going to be a continuing focus of
international attention in the fight against the global pandemic
of obesity. The world has finally listened to the “San” people.
How it works
The traditional use of Hoodia gordonii for
its appetite suppressant effect involved the eating of whole,
fresh plants or perhaps dried plants. Flowers, roots, and
spiky skin on the plant were not eaten readily by anyone,
including the hardy San bushmen. The natural use of Hoodia
involved cutting open the skin, and eating or drinking the
flesh and sap of the plant. In fact, several TV correspondents
have taken the plant in this traditional form. These newscasters,
along with others, comment upon its bitterness, and almost
immediate effects on appetite suppression. It is clear that
Hoodia gordonii cannot be taken in this fresh form by many
consumers. Therefore, the Hoodia plant in South Africa has
been processed by drying the plant and producing powder or
concentrates that can be used in dietary supplements, or perhaps
added to food.
The use of Hoodia in a dietary supplement
is closer to the traditional use of Hoodia than the isolation
of certain extracts of Hoodia (steroidal glycosides). Although
recent scientific experiments seem to support that specific
fractions or extracts of Hoodia gordonii are responsible for
its major effects on appetite, it is not safe to assume that
other ingredients within Hoodia do not contribute to its many
effects in humans. The precedent for the safety of taking
Hoodia rests with the use of the whole plant, not with the
use of extracts such as steroidal glycosides.
