You might have surely heard about 'Hoodia cactus plant extract' by
this time as it has been broadcasted by numerous major media sources,
like the 'BBC', 'The Today Show', 'CBS' and much more. Because of
this, Hoodia Gordonii products have quickly ascended to become one of
the fastest growing segments of the 'diet supplement market'.
Before choosing a Hoodia product you should know that there are many
kinds of Hoodia plant, but only the Hoodia Gordonii type has an
astoni****ng 'appetite suppressing' quality. These properties have been
known about for centuries by a primitive tribe known as the 'Sans
Bushmen'. During mid 1990s an institute called the C.S.I.R. 'Council
for Scientific and Industrial Research' was conducting a study of
native plants eaten by the 'Sans Bushmen'. Basically, the study was to
see what foods, the 'Sans Bushmen' were taking that protected the
toxic compounds. When the C.S.I.R. studied Hoodia Gordonii, they found
it was not only non-toxic, but also it helped to suppress the appetite
of animals it used to feed to.
Hoodia Cactus PlantFinally, the C.S.I.R. isolated the active
ingredient responsible for the 'appetite suppressing' effects and
called it 'P57'. This is the 'Hoodia cactus extract'. They then sold
the rights of 'P57' to a British pharmaceutical company called
'Phytopharm'. You may be wondering how it can be there are so many
Hoodia products on the market if only 'Phytopharm' has the rights to
'P57'. The answer lies in the patent laws. You know that, only
'Phytopharm' can extract the active molecule called 'P57' from Hoodia
Gordonii and use it in their product line. But a whole natural plant -
in this case the Hoodia Gordonii plant- cannot be patented. As a
result, other companies' can very well produce supplements or products
made from Hoodia Gordonii and sell them legally.
The im****tant thing for consumers right now is to make sure that they
are buying a product that contains genuine South African Hoodia
Gordonii.
