Most diet pills and supplements work by trying to increase the rate at which our body burns fat. What makes Hoodia 24 Hour Appetite
Control so different is they really work to prevent weight gain. Take in less calories than you burn and you will
lose weight. It is really simple math, you can not gain weight if you consume less calories than you burn. Hoodia
gives you a powerful weapon to fight hunger and therefore take in less calories.
How long does Hoodia 24 Appetite Control take to work?
The
consensus is that hoodia can take up to 1 to 2 weeks to kick in, however, many people notice the appetite
suppressing effects within 1/2 hour of taking a dose of hoodia.
How to take Hoodia 24 Hour Appete Control
- An hour before meals
- With a glass of water. Ensure adequate water intake, because
hoodia will also shut off your thirst mechanism.
Hoodia has been used for thousands of years. The San Bushmen are a tribe of hunter-gatherers.
They do not take pills for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, depression, and other diseases, like we do.
This impressive plant contains a special substance, which acts on the brain by sending a signal to tell the body that
it is satisfied and does not need more food. It works by making one feel full after ingesting it, and it has been shown to
lower food intake by up to 50 percent.
Hoodia Gordonii, although it looks like a cactus and is in fact part of that family, it is categorized
as a succulent. The Hoodia plant has been used for centuries by the San People of the Kalahari to stave off pain, hunger and
thirst when they travelled for weeks, months and even years across the vast desert. There are about 20 species in the Hoodia
family, the Gordonii is the only one that contains the natural appetite suppressant.
When South African scientists were testing the Hoodia Gordonii plant they discovered the plant contained
a previously unknown molecule. Results of human clinical trials in Britain suggest that this active ingredient could reduce the appetite by up to 2,000
calories a day.
This active ingredient
works by replicating the effect glucose has on nerve cells in the brain, fooling the body into thinking it is full even when
it is not. Hoodia Gordonii appears to contain a molecule that is almost 10,000 times stronger than glucose.
Natural Hoodia Gordonii supplements were just introduced
to the U.S. market in early 2004. Hoodia gordonii is entirely natural -- it is not a drug, and has no stimulant properties.
There is interest, however, from various pharmaceutical companies who are trying to synthesize the appetite-suppressing component,
P57, in order to create a patentable drug in the future. Prescription drugs containing hoodia or its synthetic P57 derivative
are years away from being on the market.
Phytopharm's
Dr. Richard Dixey explained how P.57 actually works:
"There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense
glucose sugar.
"When you eat,
blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full.
"What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose.
"It goes to the mid-brain and
actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to."
What to do to make Hoodia 24 Hour Appetite Control most
effective.
The reality is that for
many people especially for people with low thyroid in particular -- in order to lose weight, you have to cut some calories, focus on eating enough good fats (but limit the saturated fats), eat enough healthy protein,
eat good carbs (high fiber vegetables and some fruits), avoid the high-glycemic simple carbohydrates (like sugar, flour, and
rice), drink sufficient water, and ensure that you are doing things -- like aerobic and weight bearing exercise, and various
supplements -- to safely raise metabolism.
We
Recommend Pure Hoodia Gordonii Powder (Not a 20:1 Extract)
We believe that hoodia should be taken in it natural state as taken by the San. The San Bushmen have
not only taken Hoodia as an effective appetite suppressant, but also as a thirst quencher, for severe abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids,
tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes. Studies have shown that without the supporting ingredients in the unprocessed
Hoodia Gordonii, much of the potency of the suppressant and medicinal benefits are lost. Some plants have great supporting
properties, but when they are extracted they are gone and some of the extracts don’t work as well without them, the
Hoodia gordonii plant is such a plant. As a supplement it is best taken in its purest powder form and not from extract.
We sell other hoodia products that
are 20:1 Extract in our retail store, but our customers that have used them say that it does not work as well as our
Hoodia 24 Hour Appetite Control. We still make the 20:1 extract available to those who want it, but we very rarely sell
any. We beleive Hoodia 24 Hour Appetite Control is the best available.
