Hoodia Gordonii
On November 21, 2004 CBS correspondent,
Lesley Stahl reported on 60 Minutes that a strange little plant, Hoodia
Gordonii, “... is a natural substance that literally takes your appetite away.”
According to CBS, “Scientists say that it fools the brain by making you think
you’re full, even if you’ve eaten just a morsel.” Now, word of this amazing
plant is spreading like wildfire across the world and taking the consumer
market by storm. Overweight adults and children have become a worldwide
concern. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion
people, worldwide, are overweight. The small plant may offer a solution to
resolve this problem.
If only you weren’t so darned hungry all the time...
It’s true that you eat for a lot of
different reasons, but feeling hungry can drive you to distraction. You know
you should stick to your diet (what ever the current one is), and you know when
you’re eating more than you need. But, what can you do about always feeling
hungry? It’s just not fair.
Hoodia Gordonii Plus might just be the
answer you’re looking for. Combined with a sensible food program, exercise
routine, and drinking plenty of water, the ingredients in Hoodia Gordonii Plus
will help you to regain your slim body easier and faster.
If you weren’t hungry all the time, you
wouldn’t be tempted to snack between meals. You could easily say “No,” to
second helpings. You would find it easy to push away from the table feeling
satisfied.
A great deal of research is being conducted
into the effects of satiety (the feeling of being full) on overeating. Hormones
circulating through the body convey messages to the brain to indicate hunger of
“fullness.”
What is Hoodia Gordonii?
Hoodia Gordonii is a small, succulent plant
that grows only in the remote region of the South African Kalahari Desert.
There, the indigenous San Bushmen have eaten the plan for centuries, to stave
off hunger during their long and arduous hunting trips. This small plant looks
like a dill pickle with spines on it. It grows slowly in its harsh environment,
and takes four or five years, or more, before it is ready to harvest.
The
Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa, joined forces with
the South African San Council. They agreed to work together on the usage of
indigenous plants for the benefit of both parties. They also committed
themselves to the conservation of natural resources. Because of tremendous worldwide demand for
the Hoodia plant, it has become endangered by over-harvesting. Now,
certification is required to prove that the product is authentic Hoodia
Gordonii. Real Hoodia Gordonii only grows in the
semi-arid desert of South Africa – not in China,
or Mexico, or the United States.
With Hoodia Gordonii Plus you can be assured of getting the real, organic
Hoodia ingredient. That’s because our Hoodia is approved by the Western Cape
Conservation Authority of South Africa, and is certified to be 100% authentic.
