New appetite suppressant?
Question: I've heard of a new supplement available that will naturally reduce my appetite and help cut the food cravings without the aid of stimulants. Is there such a thing?
ANSWER: You may be referring to a new product on the market with the main ingredient being Hoodia Gordonii, a type of Cactus. The formulation of this product has no caffeine and no stimulants. Each tablet contains a proprietary blend of herbs designed to support your desire to control your weight. A growing Hoodia Gordonii looks like an ordinary cactus with thin, thorny fingers and it grows about 20 inches tall in the reddish sands deep inside southern Africa's Kalahari Desert. The San Bushman of the Kahahari have been eating the Hoodia for years to help reduce hunger during long hunting trips. The plant contains a molecule that allows the brain to believe that the body's hunger has been satisfied. Products containing Hoodia are not a diet or prescribed regiment, you can eat whatever you want - you'll just naturally decide to eat less. The new Hoodia Gordonii products offer hope to the many dieters who have tried every fad and still end up overweight and eating too much.
