What is real Hoodia Gordanii?

Hoodia Gordanii is a natural appetite suppressant that has been used by the Bushman of South Africa for hundreds of years to help them stave off hunger during long hunting expeditions. The Hoodia gordonii plant contains an active ingredient that fools your brain into believing that you have had enough to eat, thus reducing your daily calorie intake.

According to Doctor's involved in the hoodia study, here's how the cactus plant actually works: "There's a part of your brain, the hypothalamus, and within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. Now when you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, and these cells start firing and at that point you feel full. The doctors went on to say "the issue with problem eaters and the obese is that they will sneak down to the fridge at two in the morning and have some ice cream, consume huge amounts of calories and still not feel full." "What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that's about ten thousand times as active as glucose. Hoodia goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you haven't eaten food. Nor do you want to. That's how it works."
