Tribes live nearer to nature they know almost all traits of the things around them. Tribes of Kalahari Desert are no exception; they survived in extreme climatic condition for millenniums. For their survival in the scarcity of food they rely on hunting. They generally go deep in the desert in search of food and it can take a complete day to get any animal to hunt. In such a condition, they have to suppress their appetite which they do with the help of Hoodia plant. Hoodia is a succulent which looks like cactus and has natural capability of suppressing appetite.

Phytopharm a drug manufacturing company did the job of bringing the benefits of Hoodia to the world outside the Kalahari Desert. In the year1995, when Phytopharm received license for development of Hoodia medication. Now, Phytopharm and Unilever are the two drugs manufacturers which are developing Hoodia medication. During studies it was found that from many types of Hoodia plant only Hoodia Gordonii is better efficient in suppression of appetite.

Hoodia Gordonii has a constituent named as P57 which is the active appetite suppressing ingredient of Hoodia. This active constituent of Hoodia sends the signals of fullness of stomach to the brain by increasing level of sugar in the blood. The signaling produced by Hoodia is 100,000 times faster than the natural sugar present in the blood. The befooling of brain makes a man capable of suppressing appetite for about 24 hours.

This natural medication is available in tablets, capsule and health drink form. The dosages of Hoodia are accessible in the strength of 1200mg which are taken one hour earlier than breakfast on an empty stomach. Hoodia is a non-prescription medication which means you don’t have take doctor’s prescription for using Hoodia. However, as a precautionary measure one should take the advice of doctor to start its use. Pregnant ladies and breast feeding mother should avoid using Hoodia as effects of Hoodia on embryo and infants are not studied thoroughly. The women who are planning to conceive in the near future must take prior advice of doctor to use Hoodia.
