Prescribed Choice Hoodia Gordonii 60 Caps
Hoodia Gordonii is known to support healthy energy levels and mood health. Acting as an appetite suppressant, hoodia may be useful for dieters as it has proven in studies to support profound weight loss and a good emergent safety profile.*
Hoodia Gordonii has been used for generations by South African tribesmen to starve off hunger and thirst during long hunting expeditions*
South African scientists have been testing Hoodia since 1996 when they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule that replicates the effect glucose has on nerve cells in the brain. Thus, fooling the body into thinking it is full when it actually may not be*
To test Hoodia, a studied group of morbidly obese individuals from Leicester, England were kept in a prison like setting. Volunteer subjects were only allowed to read papers, watch television and eat. Half the group was given Hoodia Gordonii and half was given a placebo. At the end of 15 days, the group given Hoodia had reduced their food intake by 1000 calories a day. Given the average daily diet was reportedly 2200 calories, this was a marked success*
Hoodia’s appetite suppressing molecule is speculated to be almost 10,000 times stronger than glucose*
Research has shown that Hoodia Gordonii extract reduced the average daily caloric intake and reduced body-fat over a two week clinical trial period*
In addition to managing hunger and suppressing the appetite, Hoodia also seems to help boost energy levels*
There are reports of Hoodia Gordonii acting as an antidepressant*
Hoodia is difficult to grow and requires just the right amount of water, sunlight, and temperature. It takes five years for Hoodia to grow to full maturity. Our extract is derived from the stem of this prized plant*
