Hoodia may be a potential tool to aid in the fight of fat loss by helping people to reduce calorie intake. However, it must be reiterated that a large reduction in calories is NOT the cure for fat loss; intelligent dieting, a moderate reduction in calories, and an exercise program involving weight training as well as cardio is.

This is a magical mystery tour of the popular appetite suppressant, Hoodia Gordonii, or Hoodia for short. It begins in the dry sands of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa and ends in the antiseptic laboratories of British and American multinationals.
The Hoodia is a cactus-like plant found in the Kalahari Desert of Africa. The African Bushmen (also Called San tribe) have eaten it for thousands of years, primarily to stave off hunger as they trek along the vast expanse of the Kalahari Desert to hunt for food. By chewing on this plant, they can suppress their appetites for a straight 24 hour period.
Magical? Perhaps. Hoodia rhymes with Houdini, that legendary magician whose disappearing stunts thrilled audiences everywhere. And this plant’s magic lies in its ability to make calories disappear. And if, by a stroke of luck, authorities and marketers ever come to an agreement in the near future about its safety and potential, it may a tool the western civilization could use to aid in the fight against obesity. Brief History of Hoodia Gordonii
While Phytopharm and a South African laboratory were negotiating the rights over Hoodia, someone discovered that the Bushmen were left out of the negotiations, hence depriving them of a potential huge source of revenue for a commodity that rightly belonged to them in the first place (1). A smart lawyer has come to the rescue assuring that Bushmen will get their fair share once Hoodia hits the global market.
In a reported submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration by Awareness Corporation of Nevada for purposes of fulfilling New Dietary Ingredient Information requirements, Hoodia was described as a plant species that takes substantial time to grow and requires temperatures of 50-61 degrees Fahrenheit to thrive. It has numerous clumps measuring 18 inches high and produces pale purple disc-shaped flowers that give off an unpleasant smell.
The P57 compound in Hoodia is labelled an appetite suppressant which means that when ingested, the stomach “communicates” with the brain telling it that it is full and does not need food. This non-hunger condition can last for as long as 24 hours.
So how does Hoodia work – or more specifically – how does P57 work - in curbing human appetite?
If we gave serious thought to the triggering mechanism for appetite, there is basically no hocus-pocus involved. To explain it in layman’s terms, when Hoodia is taken, its P57 compound “imitates” the effects of glucose sugar on the brain’s nerve cells. They tell the brain that the body is full and does not need food. In doing this, it essentially diminishes appetite. Indications are that P57 could cut anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 per day. (5) However, it must also be taken into consideration that these possible drastic calorie reductions are not the sole cure for weight loss – intelligent dieting with a moderate calorie restriction and adequate exercise is
It has been suggested that steroidal glycosides “talk” directly to the middle part of the brain called the hypothalamus, saying that blood glucose is high, which is linked to the weight control mechanism.
While persuasive, this explanation of how P57 works to curb appetite still raises questions as far as scientists are concerned, because it does not address key issues involving the “aminostatic” or “lipostatic” theoretical framework of food intake activity. It is generally agreed that 3-4 grams is the daily recommended dose for weight loss to be evident after prolonged use.
There are no known side effects of Hoodia. Apart from its usefulness as a calorie-reducing helper by suppressing hunger, it has also been used by the Bushmen for medicinal purposes to cure certain illnesses amongst their people. One report also suggested Hoodia as possessing “aphrodisiac” qualities.
Current thinking is that, pending more clinical trials in the future, there are no known or reported side effects of Hoodia. After all, wasn’t this plant a staple of the Kalahari Desert San tribesmen? But individuals should not rely on hoodia 100% and must be encouraged to continue pursuing a healthy lifestyle of sound nutrition and exercise.
