The Hoodia Gordonii Story

Imagine a plant that kills the appetite and attacks obesity.
It has no known side effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full.

Hoodia Gordonii in the Kalahari Desert Deep inside the African Kalahari Desert grows an ugly cactus-like plant called Hoodia Gordonii. It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature.

The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, have been eating the Hoodia plant for thousands of years to stave off hunger on long hunting trips.

The power of Hoodia Gordonii was first uncovered in the early 1960's when a student at South Africa's National Scientific Laboratory (CSIR) was studying native foods and plants used by the San Tribe. What would come next was 30 years of research and experimentation resulting in the discovery of "the miracle molecule" in Hoodia Gordonii responsible for taking hunger away.

Scientists have been able to isolate a molecule in the Hoodia Gordonii plant that does not appear anywhere else in nature. It is believed that this molecule may hold the key to the problem of obesity throughout the world.

At first it looked like Hoodia's "Miracle Molecule" would be made into a drug when pharmaceutical giant Pfizer was brought into the picture. They sponsored a scientific study that showed when a group of obese people took the "miracle molecule" in Hoodia Gordonii they consumed around 1000 less calories a day!

In 2004, Pfizer was forced to abandon their efforts to turn Hoodia into a drug when synthesizing Hoodia in a laboratory proved to be too costly.

Hoodia Gordonii is very different from some other diet products like Ephedra and Fen-Phen, that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia doesn't stimulate at all.

Researchers at Brown University have reported that Hoodia tricks the brain into believing it's full. When your brain thinks it's full you eat less – have fewer cravings and lose weight – without torturing yourself!

Now the best – and only way to discover the power of Hoodia Gordonii is to take it in the form of a natural dietary supplement.

Natural Health Certified Hoodia Gordonii comes directly from licensed growers in the Kalahari Desert and is independently tested for purity before it's processed and encapsulated using strict pharmaceutical standards.

Why is this important?

Hoodia is in short supply right now and is very expensive. Additionally, The Hoodia plant takes up to 5 years to mature.

Recent news reports and the excitement generated by them have caused a shortage of Hoodia worldwide. Unfortunately, many dishonest companies have been selling products labeled as Hoodia Gordonii that have little or no Hoodia in them.

Also, many national nutritional stores have been unwittingly selling these products to consumers.
