The African Herb To Combat Obesity

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Hoodia gordonii is an herb found in the Kalahari Desert. Though reported to be used by the San Bushmen of Southern Africa for a variety of uses as a medicinal plant, its use as an appetite suppressant became popular in recent years. Hoodia is able to make you feel that you are not hungry by imitating the effect of glucose on the nerve cells in the brain. It makes you feel that you are full. You lose your urge to eat. In fact, the hoodia effect is much more powerful than glucose. The San Bushmen removes the stem of hoodia, the flowers, roots and spines, and peel away the outer skin before consuming hoodia when they went for a hunt which last for about a week. This is to stifle the urge to eat and drink.

The national research laboratory of South Africa, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), was able to identify the bioactive compound. They isolated the compound along with the scientists of Phytopharm, a British firm. They called the molecule p57. Further studies and clinical trial confirmed its appetite suppressing feature, something that the San Bushmen knew and used for generations. These studies also reported that there were no side effects. This corroborated also with the fact that the Bushmen have been using hoodia for thousands of years without any problems. Obesity is a rapidly increasing problem in many countries with a higher standard of affluence. Lifestyle and food practices were the major causes for obesity. The market for products for tackling the looming obesity problem is very large. Hoodia seemed to be just the right thing for the problem. Interest in p57 suddenly skyrocketed.

Hoodia gordonii began to be marketed in capsule and liquid form. It is also marketed in combination with Green Tea extract that contains naturally occurring caffeine, chromium, Niacin as Nicotinic Acid, and Cocoa extract as tru hoodia complex. zantac for sale But the problem was that hoodia gordonii with p57 was found only in Southern Africa, and that too in the wild. This will not meet the growing market demand. Besides, the cost will be prohibitive and increase as its availability diminishes.

The attempts to synthetically produce p57 in the lab failed. With this, there was no other option but to rely on collection from the wild or at best attempt to cultivate them. Hoodia soon became a threatened species that CITES listed it as a plant whose trade has to be restricted and controlled.

Hoodia, The Wonder Drug

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Hoodia gordonii is a flowering plant that belongs to the family Apocynaceae. It is a plant that reaches up to 1 meter in height. It has large purple or tan color flowers with strong smell. It is also called locally xhooba, Ghaap and khoba. It is also known as ‘Queen of the Namib’ and ‘Bushman’s Hat’. Hoodia is found naturally in Southern Africa in the semi-deserts of the countries of Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Angloa. It is particular to the Namib Desert. 

The San Bushmen, the indigenous people of the Kalahari Desert, have known about this plant for ages. They have been consuming this for various purposes. When they go for a hunt that will take them days, they suppress their hunger by eating the stem of hoodia plants. They are known to use the plant to treat such diseases as severe abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes. About twenty sub-species of hoodia plant are known to exist. Not all of them suppress appetite. It is the hoodia gordonii that has this quality. It takes about five years for the plant to mature and flower.

The fact that the San Bushmen used hoodia was first noted and reported to the outside world by a Dutch anthropologist in 1937. A scientific examination of the plant of its reported benefits however commenced only in 1963 when the national laboratory of South Africa, CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) began to study the plant. Along with the scientists of a British company, Phytopharm, they isolated the active ingredient of hoodia. This ingredient, a steroidal glycoside, was named p57. It soon began to be commercially exploited and sold worldwide through the health food stores. Sold in the capsule and liquid form, much has been written about it in h57 hoodia reviews . Hoodia is marketed as an appetite killer for those who wish to lose weight and control obesity.  Hoodia is found to send signals to the brain than makes you feel that you are full.

Hoodia became instantly popular world wide. The market for the hoodia products boomed. The result was rapid lose of hoodia from its natural habitat. This led Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to include hoodia in Appendix II which meant that hoodia will have to be declared as an endangered species if its extraction from nature was not immediately restricted. In fact, in 2008 the Botanic Gardens Conservation International listed also declared that the plant faced extinction due to indiscriminate exploitation. The government soon took to farming in government controlled farms in the Kalahari Desert. This regulation also subsequently led to the San Bushmen, the originators and holders of the knowledge, to receive a share in the royalty from the sales.
