So what is Hoodia Gordonii? Read The Irish Times Story Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant found in the Kalahari Desert that literally takes your appetite away. Although there are over 20 species in the Hoodia family only the Hoodia gordonii plant contains a natural appetite suppressant. For hundreds of years the San African tribesmen have eaten it to suppress their appetite on long hunting & gathering trips. The bushmen who live around the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa used to cut off a stem of the plant about the size of a cucumber and chew on it over a couple of days. The Anikhwe of northern Botswana feed children who "eat too much" pieces of Hoodia to suppress their appetite naturally. Read the Irish Times Story Aug 30th 2005 |

Clinical Trials Phytopharm's Dr Richard Dixey told BBC Two ‘When the first human clinical trial was conducted, a morbidly obese group of people were placed in a "phase 1 unit", a place as close to prison as it gets. All the volunteers could do all day was read papers, watch television and eat. Half were given Hoodia, half placebo. Fifteen days later, the Hoodia group had reduced their intake by 1000 calories a day. 'It was a stunning success.' |
