How to Process Hoodia

Primarily there are three methods of extracting the Hoodia gordonii plants. They are generally found in the Kalahari Desert region of Africa. It is a desert which has extremes of climate both in the form of heat and chills at night. A method of extracting the Hoodia is to get hold of the molecule which actually suppresses hunger and it is known as the p57 molecule. A British company named Phytopharm extracted the appetite suppressing molecule and they gave the name p57 to it. The Phytopharm Company was selected from a patent given to the South African government. There are a total of thirteen different herbs which contain the molecule p 57 and Hoodia plant is just a single one out of them. The manufacturers of Viagra were deeply interested in this plant since it is believed that it has certain aphrodisiac qualities in them. Their aim was to manufacture a synthetic from of Hoodia and sell it in the market. Pfizer Company was in charge of these activities but they handed back the license to Phytopharm after they found that their efforts were not cost effective. Phytopharm is now in collaboration with the company Unilever to launch slimming products by the year 2008. They want to make use of the p57 molecule so that it can be used in slimming products.

A number of clinical trials have been conducted on Hoodia extracts to determine the nature of the products and the kinds of side effects they might have on us. The clinical trials have shown no side effects in the short run. The symptoms include increased heart rate, stomach problems and palpitations. None of these symptoms have been seen in users who have used Hoodia extracts for a short time. Therefore we can be sure that Hoodia do3es not have any side effects at least within a short period of time. Several people have reported that they did not loose a single pound even after consuming Hoodia extracts in the form of marketed powders and tabs. The reason is that many Hoodia extracts which are sold in the market are fake ones, they are just fillers and they generally come cheap.

Using products without any scientific documentation is not safe at all. People resort to extreme means to lose a few pounds and in the same way they go for Hoodia patches. Medicines and drugs which have been approved by the federal drug control bodies also have side effects and is not a scary fact?
Even the authorized drugs have various side effects and therefore it is unwise to use products which have not been completely tested yet.
Any drug should be approved by a third party testing body and otherwise such products should not be used. There is no point in wasting money on those things which do not guarantee you results.

The p57 molecule present in the Hoodia plant is a natural appetite suppressant and after consumption it sends signals to the brain telling it that it is full. Our stomach recognizes this signal and we do not have the urge to consume any more food or water.Overweight people can use this as a dietary supplement to shed some flab.
