Hoodia Gordonii – The First Trials

When Hoodia was discovered the very first animal trials to test it was with Rats.
The rats that were fed with Hoodia stopped eating completely. Rats are well know as animals that will eat anything and everything. Can you believe that an animal
who loves to eat anything simply switched off its desire to eat, even when foods that rats love were placed in front of them.

When the first clinical human trial was conducted with Hoodia, several morbidly obese people were placed in a unit which was a closed off area were all that they could do was to read, watch television, interact with each other, and of course eat. Half the people were given Hoodia Gordonii to take, and half were given a placebo. After fifteen days, the group that had been taking Hoodia Gordonii had reduced their calorie intake by 1000 calories a day – despite taking no exercise and not being on a diet.

This is due to Hoodia Gordonii having a molecule which is 10,000 times more powerful than glucose sugar. It tells your brain that you are full, without having eaten or wanting to eat. It has effectively been tested in humans for centuries, and so is likely to have few of the adverse side-effects that are common with other slimming products.
