Hoodia Cactus Plant

The Hoodia Cactus plant has been used for over 25,000 years by the SAN bushmen in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. It has been a source of survival for them and now after a lot of research, it is a weight loss diet source for everyone all over the world. It is fast becoming the most popular diet supplement on the market. It is popular because it aids in losing weight, it is an all natural supplement, and there are no drugs in it so there is no prescription needed.

The Hoodia cactus is actually no cactus at all but a succulent which is a cactus look a like. It has spiny fingers which grows in clusters and grows to be 18" to 24" tall. The secret molecules used in the Hoodia diet products is inside the Hoodia stem. There are many species of Hoodia but to date, there are only 2 of them which contain the P57 Hoodia Gordonii. One of these only contain a small amount of P57. It takes a large dose of Hoodia Gordonia to make an effect on the body so if you see a product advertised and contains less than 200 mg. of Hoodia Gordonii you should not consider it. Also if there are a lot of additives in it, there is a chance of side effects from the additives.
An anthropologist discovered that the bushmen of Southern Africa were using the Hoodia plant as food and medicine and when on long hunting trips they ate it or chewed on the stems because food in the desert was scarce. They could go for extended periods of time without food and water. They also were stayed slim in size. In the 6o's the studies began on the Hoodia plants to figure what it was in the plants that suppressed the appetite and made the bushmen feel full so they had no hunger pains for long periods of time. For over thirty years the studies continued and P57 was discovered and patented in 1997 and the wheels started turning. From there manufacturing of Hoodia Gordonii diet products began and today there are many satisfied customers who are losing weight thanks to the Hoodia plant.

The pure Hoodia Gordonii plant is being farmed in large quantities now in South Africa to ensure enough to keep up with the demand as more people become aware of its value in the diet supplement world. There are many testimonials which state that the P57 from Hoodia plant is helping obese and overweight consumers lose substantial amounts of weight in a short amount of time.
