Hoodia has been for many years in the past used by the Kalahari dwellers as a hunger suppressant during the long periods of food shortages.
Nowadays hoodia is used as an appetite suppressant for losing weight by those whose weight problems are due to eating too much.
Hoodia’s most popular benefit is its ability to reduce hunger.
A molecule from the plant called P57 stimulates the central nervous system by increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in the hypothalamus — a part of your brain that regulates metabolic processes
ATP is a molecule that provides energy to your cells, which is why it’s also known as the body’s energy currency. It’s believed that increased levels of it may reduce hunger by tricking the brain into thinking that you’ve had enough to eat
The second way hoodia may reduce hunger is related to two additional molecules found in the plant — H.g.-12 and H.g.-20. These compounds promote cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion in the gut.CCK regulates the ingestion, digestion, and absorption of nutrients.
Dosage
400mg to 500mg of hoodia two to three times a day (1 capsule 2-3 times a day)
