Many people did not know that Pure Hoodia Plus
is
ephedrine Free.
The unsightly and unpleasant tasting cactus-like plant which grows in the
Kalahari Desert. In recent months,
hoodia has
received an overwhelming amount of attention from the media for it's ability
to suppress hunger with no discernable negative side effects. But how exactly
does this plant fool our brains into thinking we are full?
Hoodia
contains, among other things, steroidal glycosides. These glycosides, when
consumed, act on the hypothalamus of the human brain in much the same way that
an increase in the amount of sugar in the bloodstream would. When the
hypothalamus believes that blood sugar is high, it sends out a signal to the
body that no more sustenance is required. Effectively, one of the components
of
hoodia's
biological make-up tricks our brains into thinking we have already consumed
enough caloric intake, which consequently suppresses our hunger.
Several studies have been performed on both animals and humans which have
shown conclusive results that hoodia is effective in facilitating weight loss.
The only known side effect of hoodia is a feeling of overall well-being which
accompanies appetite suppression. While the majority of the human studies
performed on
hoodia have
involved participants who suffer from obesity, animal studies indicate that
hoodia may be just as effective in helping those who are in reasonably good
health but would like to lose a small amount of weight.
Unlike
ephedra and
caffeine based stimulants,
hoodia
demonstrates no cardiovascular side effects such as thermal or nervous system
acceleration or increased blood pressure.
While the medical community continues to study what many are calling the
greatest weapon in the fight against obesity, several manufacturers have made
hoodia
available to the public in pill or patch form. Perhaps the magic pill that
science has been searching for decades has been with us all along, slowly
growing in the
Kalahari Desert
that has replaced
ephedra.
Some people might be wondering about hoodia, and
wondered how safe it is. Why wouldn’t anyone wonder that?
You can be assured that hoodia is much safer than Ephedra, which
is created from the harmful herbal substance called ephedrine. However, make
sure what you take is the hoodia gordonii.
The h. gordonii is the only version of this plant that contains
the P57 enzyme, which is used to help suppress appetite. This is much safer than
other herbal supplements, such as Ephedra which are potentially fatal. (In fact,
this product as well as any other ephedrine-based product is now banned from the
market.)
Hoodia is
Ephedrine Free
The product hoodia, as already mentioned, is an appetite
suppressant. It has been used to curb hunger pangs for thousands of years.
African Bushmen were the first group of indigenous people to try this plant for
this purpose.
They consumed it during long hunts in the Kalahari Desert,
perhaps because they needed to eat something. Since this time the authentic
hoodia which is taken from matured plants (after about five years) has been
produced and sold.
It has helped many people, far more than ephedrine which you
already are aware is potentially deadly and dangerous. Also any ephedrine-based
product such as Ephedra is a stimulant, which is probably just as harmful as
illegal street drugs.
