If you haven't heard about the Hoodia appetite suppressant, you probably been on a diet for only a short period of time. Hoodia Gordonii, a natural appetite suppressant, is a popular, potent choice in the war against obesity. The Hoodia appetite suppressant was introduced to dieters in early 2004.

Here are some key points about the Hoodia appetite suppressant that you need to know:

• Hoodia Gordonii looks like a cactus, but it's actually a succulent from the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. The San Bushmen tribe from the region has been using Hoodia Gordonii for centuries to help ward off hunger during long trips in the desert.
• Hoodia Gordonii is not a drug. Pharmaceutical companies find it so promising that they are trying to isolate the appetite-suppressing molecule, P-57 to create a patented diet drug in the future.
• Only the Gordonii variation of Hoodia has appetite suppressant abilities.
• Hoodia Gordonii tricks the brain into thinking that you've eaten more than you really have, making you feel full in the process.
• The Hoodia appetite suppressant may work right away or may take several weeks.
• Key results in using Hoodia Gordonii includes a reduced interest in food, delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again, feeling full more quickly and a general feeling of well-being.
• Hoodia Gordonii is not a stimulant, and has no known side effects.
• Hoodia Gordonii appears to be safe for most people.
