At last, an organic supplement that helps to suppress the appetite by fooling your brain into thinking that you are full. Until now this product has been one of nature's best kept secrets. About Hoodia Gordonii: Hoodia Gordonii is a species of succulent plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. For centuries it has been used by native Bushmen, the San, to keep hunger at bay and sustain energy levels when on long hunting expeditions far from home. When we eat, our blood sugar (glucose) levels rise. Nerve cells detect this rise and send a message to our brain saying we are full. Hoodia works by triggering these same nerve cells with a molecule that is 1000 times more active than glucose. This means that your brain will think you are full even if you have not eaten, nor should you have the desire to eat. Trials with Hoodia have shown that it can curb appetite by up to 1,000 calories a day. Most importantly Hoodia Gordonii has no known side effects. Two tablets contain: Hoodia goordonii extract (20:1) 500mg (equivalent to 10,000mg of raw hoodia powder) Chromium 100ug (Chromium is vital in regulating blood sugar levels) Hydroxycitrate 250mg (from 500mg Garcinia Cambogia Hydroxycitric acid) Directions: Adults and children over 16 years of age, two tablets daily to be taken 1 hour before a main meal. Dosage can be increased to up to four tablets daily if required, or as advised by a healthcare professional
