Hoodia Gordonii Clinical Studies
In 2001 Phytopharm completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical
study in overweight, but otherwise healthy volunteers using the P57 extract from
Hoodia Gordonii. The participants were split into two groups, one received the
P57 and the other received a placebo. Each group was told to continue their
normal diet and exercise. The results of the study were as follows:
When comparing the P57 group to the Placebo group:
-The P57 group had a statistically significant reduction in caloric intake.
-The P57 group had a statistically significant reduction in body fat.
-The P57 had no adverse side effects.
On average the P57 group ate about 1,000 calories a day less than those in the
control group. These are very impressive results when you consider that the the
average American man consumes about 2,600 calories a day; a woman about 1,900.
Hoodia Gordonii Animal Study
Studies were done in 2004 by researchers at Brown Medical School. In these
studies "Zucker Rats" were fed Hoodia. Zucker Rats are special rats that are
bred to be obese and diabetic (life is tough as Zucker rat). Amazingly Zucker
Rats that were fed Hoodia lost weight and even saw some reversal of their
diabetes. Hoodia fools the brain into thinking you are full. So, your brain
sends the signal that you're full and this cuts your urge to snack on unhealthy
food. In fact, hoodia is more powerful than glucose in telling the brain that
you are full. "There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there
are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up
because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full. What the
Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as
glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as
if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to." There have not been any side effects reported from eating Hoodia or from
taking the P-57 molecule. Remember, for thousands of years that Bushmen have
eaten Hoodia Gordonii plants with no ill side effects. Order Online or Call Toll-Free 24 Hours a Day
Anything that can stop a rat from eating is very significant!
