What is Hoodia?

Hoodia is known for its appetite suppressing properties and has become an increasingly popular herbal product used as a natural aid to healthy weight management.

It is a succulent from the Kalahari Desert, Southern Africa and was eaten by the Bushman to keep their hunger at bay while on long hunting trips.

• Research shows that a group of compounds in Hoodia Gordonii called steroidal glycosides suppress appetite and increase satiety thus helping to reduce caloric intake. The is reduction leads to reduced weight. Scientists believe that the steroidal glycosides in Hoodia act as agonists of melanocortin 4, a pituitary peptide hormone directly associated with appetite regulation. Hoodia also increases production of ATP in the Hypothalamus, thus increasing overall brain energy.
