Today, this African plant that has taken the diet world by storm as “Hoodia” and been touted as nature’s weight-loss marvel. The medical community has noticed, and some medical researchers claim that Hoodia possesses astonishing appetite-control properties.* However, only one of the 50 species of the Hoodia succulent, “Hoodia gordonii,” contains the active ingredient P-57. This molecule seems to influence appetite in astounding ways.*

In the body, glucose (sugar molecule) is released as you chew and digest food. After enough glucose is released, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating and creates a sensation of being full. Research suggests that natural Hoodia may act on the brain in much the same way.* Moreover, the experts who first isolated the P-57 molecule believe that Hoodia may be thousands of times more effective than glucose at setting off fullness signals.*

Keep in mind that one thing Hoodia will not do is correctly choose the foods that you eat. If you don’t complement your diet with nutritious food choices or balanced nutritional supplements, your body can be in such a state of hunger that turning off those hunger signals will be nearly impossible. By supplementing your diet with a well-rounded multivitamin, you can enhance optimum nutrition and healthily achieve your weight-loss goals.
