Ask a Question
Hoodia Gordonii is a South African stem succulent native to the Kalahari Desert. For thousands of years, Bushmen used it to suppress appetite while crossing hot desert terrain. To avoid hunger and thirst, an adult man only had to eat one stem of a thorny plant the size of a cucumber.
The study of succulents began in the 60s. South African scientists have conducted a number of animal studies and have proven that consuming Hoodia Gordonii helps reduce weight. It took 30 long years to identify the unique component of the plant. It turned out that an unfamiliar molecule, a steroid glycoside concentrated in the core of the plant, is responsible for suppressing appetite.
Over time, the patent for the ownership of the glycoside was bought by Phytopharm. The research, which included testing on obese volunteers, cost the company $20 million. The results were promising: in 3-4 weeks, the subjects managed to reduce their weight by an average of 10% from the original. Later, a synthetic equivalent of the substance was produced, but it was not possible to synthesize the product in the volume required for the mass market. It was decided to sell Hoodia Gordonia extract in natural form.
Today, a unique component of plant origin is called P57 and is a valuable raw material for dietary supplements for weight loss.
Composition and properties
According to the Bushmen, Khudia Gordonia easily replaces water, food and medicine. This is confirmed by South African scientists who have attributed a number of positive biological effects to the succulent.
The plant contains minerals and trace elements important for the body. They are responsible for the regulation of protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolic processes. This completely natural product has nothing to do with stimulants, but significantly increases the body's endurance .
Hoodia Gordonia effectively fights hemorrhoids, tuberculosis and diabetes, and has a positive effect on the condition of liver cells. Soluble dietary fiber of plant origin restores the balance of intestinal microflora, removes pathogenic microorganisms from it and prevents the development of dysbiosis. The plant improves digestion by enhancing intestinal motility.
Thanks to the unique composition of Hoodia Gordonia, it normalizes blood pressure, lowers cholesterol levels, reduces the likelihood of damage to the vascular wall and the development of atherosclerosis. Dietary fiber from the plant stems helps normalize blood glucose levels and restore tissue sensitivity to insulin.

Benefits for weight loss
There are two types of hunger - “hormonal” and real. The development of “hormonal” is associated with a temporary decrease in blood glucose levels. This is the invisible enemy of everyone who dreams of a perfect figure, since it is he who forces you to snack between main meals when there is no real hunger, encouraging you to eat more than required.
A special component of Hoodia Gordonia, the appetite suppressant P57, is several times more active than glucose. It effectively suppresses “hormonal” hunger and significantly reduces real hunger. Once in the body, the molecule penetrates the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for the feeling of hunger. Nerve cells sensitive to glucose begin to excite. The so-called false satiation occurs: the brain mistakes the active substance of the succulent for food and sends the body a signal of satiety, and P57 blocks the hunger center, reducing calorie consumption by 40%. Eventually, the appetite decreases so much that the person stops thinking about food. An involuntary restriction of the amount of food consumed occurs, and weight begins to decrease.
Against the background of a decrease in appetite while taking Hoodia Gordonii, it is possible to switch to a diet whose calorie content is several times less than usual.
Hoodia not only reduces appetite, but also helps the body obtain additional energy produced from destroyed fat cells. Forced fasting does not cause discomfort to a person and does not lead to depression. There is no headache or dizziness characteristic of a “hungry” state.
Hoodia Gordonia acts in several directions:
- reduces interest in food;
- increases the interval between meals;
- quickly satisfies hunger;
- improves well-being.
How does Hoodia Gordoni work?
The components of this remedy, once in the digestive tract, do not decompose due to interaction with gastric juice, so their effect does not suffer. Pharmacy fat burning products disintegrate due to acid exposure.
The instructions for the drug Hoodia Gordonii contain information about how the porous structure of this additive ensures the gradual release of active components. Thanks to this, the patient loses weight constantly.
The body receives nutrients from the complex, hunger is dulled. Don't forget about water. The effectiveness of the process of combating excess weight directly depends on the amount of fluid consumed.

How to improve the effect
When taking medications with Hoodia Gordonii, it is very important to follow a diet. The kilograms should go away gradually: the slower the weight goes away, the longer the result will last.

For safe weight loss, your diet includes:
- fruits;
- vegetables;
- sprouted seeds;
- honey;
- nuts;
- fish;
- cottage cheese;
- eggs.
Summarize
- Hoodia gordonii is a cactus-like succulent that grows in the Kalahari Desert.
- Its consumption by nomadic hunter-gatherers, who reportedly used it to suppress hunger during long hunts, led to its popularity and widespread use as a weight loss supplement.
- However, there have been few scientific studies in humans to support this effect, and the available studies have shown a wide range of unwanted side effects.
- Although you can find hoodia supplements in the form of tea, capsules, powder, liquid extract and patch, be sure to consult your doctor before taking them.

Since childhood, I have had a weakness for everything creamy and floury. To say that the weight is far from ideal is to say nothing. Recently I decided to pull myself together and get my figure in order. I wouldn’t be able to give up my favorite sweets on my own, so I decided to involve Hudia Gordonia in the work. Before that, I read a lot of positive reviews about dietary supplements based on it. I ordered the drug online, read the instructions and started taking it. I've been using Hoodia for 3 weeks now. I feel normal and have not observed any side effects. The weight began to go away (in 3 weeks I became 6 kg lighter). But most importantly, I was able to give up cakes and sweets! It doesn't pull at all. Now I enjoy salads and fruits more. I take capsules twice a day and always after dinner, so as not to be tempted by evening snacks. I am pleased. I will continue to receive.
Hoodia Gordonia – a scam? Negative reviews
You can also find negative reviews about the drug online. Here's what the manufacturer answered.
Why didn’t I receive all the packages that I ordered, although I paid in advance?
Manufacturer's comment:
We cannot answer this question, since the goods were clearly not purchased from us, judging by the fact that you paid for the goods immediately. We adhere to clear rules - first delivery, then payment.
I took the drug every day for 2 weeks, then it ran out, and while I was waiting for a new batch, the results slowed down. I'm not very happy.
Manufacturer's comment:
During the first two weeks, active components accumulate, and the process of breaking down adipose tissue is not as intense as our customers would like. Towards the end of the 3rd week of use, fat tissue burning occurs more rapidly.
What results does the manufacturer promise?
What can you expect as a result of taking Hoodia Gordoni? The manufacturer promises that after a course of using the dietary supplement, you will lose from 7 to 10 kilograms of excess weight without any effort or harm to health. As a pleasant bonus, he notes the following effects:
- figure correction (the stomach will tighten, the sides will disappear, cellulite will decrease);
- improvement of skin and hair condition;
- increased mood;
- activation of strength and energy;
- normalization of pressure.
