Hoodia Side Effects
The CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) of South Africa patented a native plant, growing wild in the Kalahari Desert, as an aid to weight loss programs. Hoodia Gordonii, as the plant is called, suppresses hunger. The San tribe, who live on the fringes of the Kalahari Desert, used it for thousands of years for that purpose. CSIR isolated a molecule, named P 57, as the active agent that created the feeling of fullness.
P 57 initiates glucose and induces the nerve cells in the hypothalamus, the midbrain, to fire signals that give a feeling of fullness.
P 57 is about 10,000 times as effective as glucose. CSIR struck an agreement with the British company Phytopharm to test, develop and market the product. Phytopharm did the only serious clinical study and published its results. In a double blind study, P 57 reduced the intake of calories by 1,000.
P 57 is not a chemical stimulant like Ephedra or Phenfen, but a natural food. During clinical studies, there were no side effects reported.
The fact that Hoodia Gordonii products are classified as a food and not a drug is indicative of the safety of the product. Supermarkets are selling it as a food supplement.
Any harmful effect from Hoodia products is caused by misuse. People with eating disorders force themselves to eat because of the hunger. But now they can pop a pill and go about without discomfort. That would prove to be very dangerous to their health.
Another safety hazard is the adulteration of Hoodia. As the plant is in short supply, adulteration by the suppliers is rampant. Some manufacturers, knowing this, attempt to make their product effective by adding stimulants like ephedrine and caffeine. This may create unspecified side effects.
The only clinical study done by Phytopharm was not a long-term one, so the long-term side effects are still an unknown factor..

What Is Hoodia?
Hoodia has been used by South African Bushmen as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher during long hunting trips for more than 100,000 years. It was discovered during a study of indigenous foods by a lab in South Africa, and may represent a great opportunity for the South African economy as well as a diet miracle for many who have given up on other weight loss products. Hoodia is a succulent cactus?like plant, with stalks that look like spiky pickles. However, it does not belong to the cactus family. Hoodia plants grow up to about 1m tall, with large strong smelling flowers in the wild of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.
They are known to the indigenous people as Xhoba.
Hoodia Gordonii is the species that is being researched for its appetite suppressant properties. There are other Hoodia species, some of which are grown in gardens, but only Hoodia Gordonii is thought to contain the active ingredient, Hoodia P57.
