Cart Hoodia Gordonii And Weight Loss
Hoodia gordonii, also known as hoodia, xhooba, Ghaap, Hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus has made quite a stir in the United State and around the world for its inherent ability to suppress appetite.
Hoodia is a cactus known for its ability to curb the desire for food and drink.
Many major news networks have done countless pieces on Hoodia and the way it has captivated the world.
Hoodia can be taken in different forms. There are Hoodia capsules, liquid forms of hoodia, and Hoodia teas available in health food stores and on the Internet. Hoodia gordonii is grows naturally in many countries w ith semi-desert climates like South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Hoodia grows in grouped green upright stems, but the purple flowers that take nearly 5 years to develop before they can be harvested hold the key to Hoodia’s power. Although there are 20 types of hoodia, only the Hoodia gordonii variety provides the natural appetite suppressant that has taken the world by storm.
Although Hoodia has only recently gained its fame as an appetite suppressor, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert have been using it for a very long time. The Bushmen, would eat it to suppress their hunger and thirst when food and water were scarce. They also used Hoodia for severe abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes.
It wasn’t until a few decades ago that scientists really began to study Hoodia and realized what kind of potential Hoodia had for aiding weight-loss.
To date, it has been found in animal studies, that Hoodia is believed to reduce caloric intake by 30 to 50 percent. One human study even collected data showing a reduced caloric intake of about 1000 calories per day.
