Hoodia Diet Pills

One of the latest trends in the diet craze is the Hoodia diet pills. Hoodia diet pills are made from the succulent Hoodia Gordonii plant that can only be found growing naturally in the the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. A natural solution to weight loss, hoodia diet pills work as an appetite suppressant. By taking the pills, your brain thinks you are full and you do not want to eat.

Many in South Africa have been eating hoodia for hundreds years. A South African laboratory was finally able to isolate the ingredient in hoodia that suppresses the appetite. They patented it and licensed it to Phytopharm, which has spent $20 million on research including clinical trials. However, whether hoodia is indeed a wonder diet pill remains under debate. Many manufacturers of herbal hoodia recommend you also combine low impact exercise (such as walking) and a healthy diet in conjunction with the hoodia diet pills.

Hoodia Gordonii , which although popular, has no published randomized controlled trials in humans to show hoodia is safe or effective in pill form. One study published in the September 2004 issue of Brain Research found that injections of p57 (The Active ingredient in Raw, Fresh Cut Hoodia, not dried) into the appetite center of rat brains resulted in altered levels of ATP, an energy molecule that may affect hunger. The animals receiving the P57 injections also ate less than rats that received placebo injections. However, this was an animal study and INJECTIONS IN THE BRAIN are very different from oral consumption, so it cannot be used to show that oral hoodia can suppress appetite in humans.
