Hoodia Gordonii - One Reason To Take It
When Hoodia was discovered the very first animal trials to test
it was with Rats. The rats that were fed with Hoodia stopped
eating completely. Rats are well know as animals that will eat
anything and everything. Can you believe that an animal who
loves to eat anything simply switched off its desire to eat,
even when foods that rats love were placed in front of them.
When the first clinical human trial was conducted with Hoodia,
several morbidly obese people were placed in a unit which was a
closed off area were all that they could do was to read, watch
television, interact with each other, and of course eat. Half
the people were given Hoodia Gordonii to take, and half were
given a placebo. After fifteen days, the group that had been
taking Hoodia Gordonii had reduced their calorie intake by 1000
calories a day - despite taking no exercise and not being on a
diet
This is due to the active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii, the
molecule known as P57, as it 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
Hoodia is grown in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa,
Hoodia Gordonii is an all natural appetite suppressant, derived
from a cactus like plant with prickly spikes. Scientists have
been researching the Hoodia plant for almost a decade, and have
found it to be completely free of harmful side effects.
