Hoodia Gordonii is the newest in a long line of weight loss supplements to hit the market. This new competitor seems to have what it takes to compete for the title as weight loss king.

Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus found in Africa, it has been eaten by the bushmen for thousands of years as a way to silence hunger pangs. These bushmen often go on hunting trips that last several days, while on these trips it is common for them to supplement their diets with Hoodia Gordonii.

Recently Hoodia hit the mainstream when Herbalists discover the powerful effects it had on appetite suppression. Hoodia Gordonii has the ability to completely suppress your appetite. In a recent study lab rats would not eat for days while being given the supplement. The rats had full access to food the entire time but, the Hoodia fooled them into thinking they were full.

Hoodia works by fooling the brain into thinking you are full regardless of whether you have eaten or not. The active compound in Hoodia works much like glucose when you have eaten a meal but, the ingredient in Hoodia is 10,000 times stronger than glucose.

If you are considering weight loss, consider looking into Hoodia Gordonii
