The active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii is a molecule named P57. The buzz surrounding Hoodia Gordonii and P57 has continued to grow everyday since British supplement PhytoPharm discovered it. PhytoPharm was conducting a study on the Hoodia Gordonii plant from South Africa. Hoodii had long been rumored to be a powerful appetite suppressant around the region.

A few years ago PhytoPharm decided it was time to check it out scientifically. Several studies were conducted. In one such study, a previously unknown molecule was discovered. This new molecule became known as molecule P57. Later this molecule would be introduced as one of the most powerful appetite suppressants every discovered.

While conducting these tests PhytoPharm also tested volunteers. Two groups were tested, one group was given a placebo. The other was given Hoodia extract. The group that received the Hoodia Gordonii reduced their daily caloric intake by over 1,000 calories and of course they lost weight. According to reports, the reduction was effortless. The study also documented that no side effects were associated with taking Hoodia Gordonii. The research and studies that have went into the development of this supplement are very promising. With some of the big companies that are backing it, this should continue. This could be what everyone battling weight is looking for.
