A "miracle cactus" from South Africa has properties that can suppress appetite and help people lose weight. The cactus, known as Hoodia, grows naturally in the hottest parts of South Africa, reaching heights of two and a half feet. There are several varieties of the Hoodia cactus, but only one of these contains a substance that suppresses appetite. If you want to take Hoodia to lose weight, be sure you have the right variety - the one known as Hoodia Gordonii. This variety of the Hoodia cactus has a large flower, spiny needles and a brown color. It also has a less than pleasant smell, but that may be part of the power that makes Hoodia Gordonii an effective appetite suppressant.

• | Generations of South African bush people have used Hoodia Gordonii to prevent hunger and thirst when they are on long hunting expeditions. In the 1960's, mainstream researchers discovered Hoodia and began to conduct studies on its ability to stave off hunger. As a natural substance that can be sold over the counter, Hoodia has gained attention from people who need some extra help to reach their weight loss goals. It is believed that Hoodia Gordonii is safer and has fewer side effects than prescription diet pills. It is also possible to buy Hoodia without having to visit a doctor first, though it is always wise to tell your doctor you are considering using Hoodia Gordonii or any other product to lose weight. |

• | Hoodia Gordonii works because it produces a chemical that more or less tricks the brain into thinking it is full. The chemical is similar to, but more powerful than glucose, so it has a longer-lasting effect on appetite. Further, Hoodia Gordonii does not raise heart rate, blood pressure or metabolism like other weight loss products may do. It allows a person to lose weight naturally due simply to the fact that the person finds it easier to eat less. Of course, a proper diet and exercise combined with the benefits of Hoodia Gordonii can produce faster and better results.

• | Hoodia Gordonii is available as an herbal supplement. It is a natural remedy that simply helps you to do what you need to do to lose weight. That is, it helps you stick to a lower calorie diet. This is much safer than quick solutions that lead to rapid weight loss, which can weaken your immune system and make you sick. While you go through a more natural process of losing weight, you will feel better and stay healthy and have the energy to get back into shape as well. Studies show that when people lose weight too quickly on crash diets, they almost always gain all of the weight back again. In many cases, they end up even heavier than they were when they started the diet. This process of yo-yo dieting very often leads to depression.

• | A number of doctors and scientists who have studied the natural herbal ingredients in Hoodia Gordonii believe it may be one of the best supplements for weight loss that has come along in some time. Since the primary action of Hoodia Gordonii is to make you feel full so you eat less, it naturally promotes a healthy lifestyle. Most people who combine taking Hoodia Gordonii with eating healthy foods and staying active are successful in losing weight. Hoodia is not a quick fix. It is a useful tool that can be an important part of an overall healthy lifestyle. Sticking with a healthy lifestyle over time is the best way to reach one's goal weight in addition to improving one's overall quality life.
