The Hoodia Gordonii Cactus just may very well be considered the miracle plant of the century. Back in 1937 a Dutch anthropologist
discovered that the SAN tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert chewed on the Hoodia Gordonii plants while on there two or three day
hunting trips into the Kalahari Desert. They ate or drank nothing else. They just chewed and sucked on the stem of Hoodia
Gordonii plant. This discovery started the wheels turning, however it was not until the mid 1970s that research actually began
to find out what the Hoodia Gordonii contained which suppressed the appetite and thirst. Over the next thirty years the South
Africa National Laboratory studied to identify the molecules that were responsible for the suppression. Scientists in the Council
for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Southern Africa found and named the molecules and named them P57 and
applied for a patent in 1997. Thus the new development for a new diet supplement was born.
Although many call it a cactus because it has a spiny stem like the cacti, it is in all actuality a succulant. It is however in
the Cacti family.It absorbs and holds water in its roots and stems. The stems grow in clusters from 18" to 24" tall and have a
pinkish-purple bloom. It takes 5 to 7 years for the Hoodia Gordonii to fully mature in order for the P57 to be potent enough to
harvest.
There are many species of the Hoodia plant but only 2 have been found to contain the P57 properties and one of them contains
a small amount only. Only the pure Hoodia Gordonii contains the P57 and it takes a substantial dose to work as it it should to
suppress the appetite.
Since the Hoodia Gordonii and (P57) has been discovered there have been many black market products being introduced into
the marketplace so buyer beware. Do your research and make sure you are getting the real deal BEFORE you spend your money
on it. The legitimate companies will be glad to answer your questions and provide proof of authenticity with their Certificates
and Licenses which will show that the true Hoodia Gordonii is in fact from Southern Africa, the only place where the real Hoodia
is being produced.
Hoodia Gordonii comes in different forms such as the pill or capsule. No matter which form of supplement you choose, keep in
mind that they will work differently on each individual. It will work quicker for some more than others. For some it may begin
working in just a short while after taking it and for another individual it may take a week or two before they see any change in
appetite. Exercise will no doubt make a difference too however it will help those who can not exercise for one reason or another.
The point is not to get discouraged. If you have the true 100% all natural Hoodia Gordonii in a large enough dose, it should help
you.
