The leafless, spiky and succulent plant, an indigenous plant from South Africa, Hoodia gordonii is an effective agent for appetite suppression and according to scientific trials has the capability for tricking the brain by auto suggesting that food has already been ingested. We have been successfully preparing medicines from this plant using scientific methodology. The stem "core" of the Hoodia gordonii species has very strong molecule dubbed "P57" which works on an area of the brain called the hypothalamus in a way similar to, but 10,000 times as potent as glucose which "alerts" the body that it is satiated and no longer needs any feeding Thus Hooda restricts food craving leading to decreased appetite. As a result one simply eats less. It is great aid to slimming without any adverse effect.
