Every year, men and women spend more than $40 billion on health products designed to assist them in losing weight and none of them seem to work very effectively.
Ever heard of Hoodia? hoodia is a natural product that helps take your appetite away .
Hoodia is much different than other appetite suppressants because what it does. You have probably already heard of Ephedra and Phenfen which have been banned because they caused damaging side effects.. Hoodia on the other hand does not stimulate at all. What it does is it fools the brain by making you think you're full.
Hoodia is a plant that tricks the brain in to thinking that your stomach feels full, and it has been included in the diet of South Africa's Bushmen for many year.The only place in the world where Hoodia grows is in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa.
Hodia is a plant that looks like a small spiky pickle and resembles the taste and texture of a cucumber. Hoodia leaves no funny taste in your mouth, no upset or nauseous stomach, and no accelerated heart beat. Although the West is just barely discovering hoodia, the Bushmen of the Kalahari have been consuming it for a very long time. After all, they have been living off the land in southern Africa for many years.
Last year the hoodia project hit a major snag. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, which had teamed up with Phytopharm, and funded much of the research, dropped out when making a pill out of the active ingredient seemed beyond reach. Phytopharm decided to market hoodia in its natural form, in diet shakes and bars. That meant it needed the hoodia plant itself.
