Important Notice

Pinolenic acid is a fatty acid which is found exclusively in Pine Nut Oil. It has the ability to stimulate the production of cholesystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP 1), both hormones which send signals of satiation to the brain, which subsequently reduces the intake of food. Hoodia gordonii is a succulent botanical which resembles a cactus. Bushmen of Southern Africa have used it for thousands of years to stave off hunger. The only active ingredient identified so far, is a steroidal glycoside that has been called ‘p57’. This is believed to imitate the effect glucose sugar has on the nerve cells in the brain. When you eat, blood sugar levels rise due to the food absorbed into the blood stream and these nerve cells start to react, indicating a point of satiety. The ‘p57’ molecule appears to suppress the appetite by triggering this mechanism and scientists believe it to be up to 10 000 times stronger than glucose. It is important to note that you cannot starve the body completely, no matter how much Hoodia and Pinolenic acid is consumed. At some point the brain will realize that it needs food to function. If however, your hunger is triggered by low blood sugar levels (hormonal hunger), usually associated with a craving for sweet foods or starchy foods, Hoodia Appetite Control will help eliminate the desire to snack in between meals. It is advisable to eat meals when real hunger is apparent and not to skip meals.
