 Hoodia and h57
H57 Hoodia is a weight loss supplement that contains the African Cactus plant known as Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia Gordonii is a powerful appetite suppressant that has been used by the South African Bushmen of Kalahari Desert for centuries. The South African Bushmen use Hoodia to help them on long hunting expeditions. Chewing on the Hoodia Cactus relieves the South African Bushmen from the hunger pains associated from not eating for days at a time. The South African Bushmen had no idea that the benefits of a tribal remedy would literally change their lives.
The P57 molecule specifically works by tricking the brain into thinking that the stomach is full. If the brain senses that the stomach is full, hunger is suppressed and the time when the body feels the need to eat again is delayed. Also, continuous consumption of the P57 molecule through the hoodia plant results in reduced interest in food and a general sense of well-being.
P57 is a plant based product for the treatment of obesity which is now in clinical development. The product was licensed to Pfizer Inc in 1998 in a global licensing agreement.The cactus from which P57 was derived from the Hoodia Gordonii Cactus plant species.
P57 is a fully characterised extract derived from a single plant which is subject to patent applications covering raw materials, active substances and mode of action. It appears to have novel pharmacological properties and may in fact be the first ever true appetite suppressant to be discovered. Unlike many of the conventional treatments currently available it has no effects on behaviour. The mechanism of action is novel and distinct from those of recently available compounds. Efficacy has been established with a profound weight loss and a good emergent safety profile.
