Unique Hoodia - Simply The Best Hoodia Product On The Market

Does Science Accept Hoodia Gordonii’s Claims?

Hoodia has become a leader in scientific news these days especially after it has been declared as a safe and very dependable way of losing weight. It is very true that Hoodia Gordonii is excellent in fighting obesity but its popularity has risen even greater due to the ban of Phenfen and Ephedra. Though people thought Phenfen and Ephedra were in for a long run but then with no immediate results to show and occurrence of side effects in the long run led to their downfall.

At present manufacturers of Hoodia Gordonii extracts have found that there are no such side effects as they are extracts of plant which is naturally grown. People who have consumed extracts of hoodia gordonii have been studied and it has been found out that there are no such side effects which may bring about damage to humans.

The working of Hoodia Gordonii is quite similar to that of glucose, a chemical compound is released which makes the brain understand that the stomach is full. Even if a person does not consume any food or water throughout the day with hoodia gordonii extracts our brain are bound to feel that are stomachs is full and there needs to be no need of any food or water! You may find it similar to glucose but then hoodia gordonii is thousands of times better than glucose.

Though there has been no such published research on Hoodia but there have been various trials on rats and things look promising. South Africa’s national laboratory started studying the plant and tried its extracts on an obese rat. Results showed promise as the rat lost huge amount of weight, thanks to Hoodia plant. This led to cooperation between the South African council of scientific and industrial research and phytopharm, a Great Britain based company. They worked together so as to separate the molecule out of the remaining specimens of Hoodia. An expenditure of more than $20 million was done by phytopharm on the plant research and studied its effect on a large group of healthy, overweight people. The group was divided into two and half of them were given placebo and remaining Hoodia Gordonii. The end result of the study depicted that people who took Hoodia consumed around 1000 calories lesser than the group of Placebo.

In the year 2004 rats that were obese and diabetic were again studied at the Brown Medical College. The moment these rats were fed with hoodia, they started losing weight and there was a reversal in diabetes too! This medical trial is believed to extremely important as it might lead to a product that people can safely consume to lose weight.

The South African Government gave license to Phytopharm Company for the molecule they discovered. They are now working with Unilever Company so as to develop a product with p57 molecule which might act so as to suppress appetite. The product is scheduled to be launched by the end of the year 2008 or early 2009. Hoodia Slim-Fast line products would be the answer to all obese or over-weight people.
