Hoodia Diet Pills Sojourn From Kalahari To Your Diet Plan

Hoodia is a cactus like plant. It comes far from the civilized world. The plant has been in use by the San tribe or Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert from the time unknown. The plant is a natural appetite suppressant. The Bushmen used to have this plant extracts to overcome hunger during long desert sojourns.

It is only recently that Phytopharm succeeded in extracting P-57, the active molecule to suppress appetite from Hoodia Gordonii plant. The P-57 molecule has been patented with Phytopharm. After that Pfizer seized upon the opportunity and got marketing rights of P-57 from Phytopharm. As of now Pfizer has returned the marketing rights as they were unable to develop a P-57 molecule synthetically and economically. At present Unilever has joined hands with Phytopharm to market Hoodia diet pill as diet supplements in their diet food product line.

The history apart, the usage of Hoodia diet pill gives an individual the sensation of full stomach for next twenty four hours. Appetite suppression is important in case an individual wishes to get away from obesity.
