Hoodia Cactus Plant Extract: The Guide

By: Philip McDonald

There is a good possibility that you have heard the talk about Hoodia Cactus Plant Extract. There has been a lot of media buzz regarding this product, including the BBC, CBS, and NBC's Today Show. These and others have been reporting on this exceptional new product.

Due to all the attention that the media has given it, Hoodia Gordonii products have quickly risen to be one of the most popular products in the diet supplement market today.

But before you rush out to the store to stock up on Hoodia, there are some things to keep in mind. Hoodia comes in several varieties, but only Hoodia Gordonii possesses the amazing ability to suppress the appetite.

The effects of Hoodia have been known for centuries by the'Sans Bushmen', a primitive tribe. A study of the native plants that this tribe consumes was conducted by the C.S.I.R. (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) during the mid-1990's.

The purpose of this study was to see that foods they were taking that protected the toxic compounds. They found that Hoodia Gordonii was not only non-toxic, but also helped suppress the appetitive of the animals tested.

The ingredient responsible for appetite suppression was isolated and dubbed 'P57' or the 'Hoodia cactus extract'. The C.S.I.R. then sold the rights of 'P57' to Phytopharm, a British pharmaceutical company.

If Phytopharm has exclusive rights to 'P57,' you may wonder how other Hoodia products able to come on the market. It is actually a reflection of the law of patents. Phytopharm has the exclusive right to extract 'P57' from the Hoodia Gordonii plant and utilize it for their line of products. The natural plant, however, is not a commodity that can be patented from a legal standpoint. Therefore, other companies can continue to make products using Hoodia Gordonii, and they will not be in violation of the law.

Anyone who is thinking of giving Hoodia a try should be sure that any product they purchase contains genuine South African Hoodia Gordonii.
