Hoodia Gordonii is a leafless, spiky, succulent plant that grows wild in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. For centuries, Hoodia stems have been eaten by native tribesmen to suppress appetite and provide needed fluid replenishment during long hunting expeditions.

Recently, a large drug company attempted to patent the active ingredient (called P-57) to develop a treatment for obesity. This has resulted in much criticism in the worldwide press over the rights of large drug companies to patent a natural extract--that was actually discovered long ago by native Africans.

Hoodia Gordonii is well known for its appetite suppressing and mood enhancing properties. Recent research has shown that this plant contains a molecule which is similar to glucose, only much stronger! Scientists believe that this molecule "fools" the brain into believing we are full even when we are consuming fewer calories.

Any weight loss program must be able to address the issue of calories consumed vs. calories burned.
