Hoodia Gordonii Part 2
Hoodia gordonii is actually one of thirteen differing varieties of the hoodia plant, many of which can be consumed in a raw state. They are classed as succulents and not cacti and a variety of hoodia plants have been used for thousands of years by various tribal communities in Southern Africa mainly for therapeutic purposes, ranging from remedies for indigestion to cures for infections. The Hoodia gordonii plant has also been linked for a number of years to being a natural appetite suppressant and were originally said to be used by different cultures to suppress their appetites during long foraging or hunting trips. The suppressant works by tricking the body, via the brain, into having a feeling of fullness while still making sure the metabolism process is working correctly and efficiently. The suppressant properties of hoodia have now been established and Hoodia based products are being sold worldwide, but especially in many western countries where obesity is a major problem. While hoodia gordonii has been known for a long time, there had been no proper research done until scientists from South Africa in 1963, had some very promising initial results. These scientists joined forces with a British company, Phytopharm, and after carrying out major research they were able to segregate the active component of hoodia- a steroidal glycoside which they named p57. They discovered that the chemical composition of p57 enabled it to basically 'fool' the brain into thinking that the molecules that made up p57 were really glucose molecules, the implication of which was the hypothalamus area of the brain didn't send out signals that the body needed further sources of energy. This procedure normally happens when you consume food and your blood sugars rise, which in turn prompts the body to send signals back to the hypothalamus that you are full.
