Phenternin’s Hoodia Scientic Weight Loss Research

Phenternin is made with the actual cactus like Hoodia plant’s branches or fingers which are first dehydrated and grounded into a pure Hoodia ingredient for use in a dietary supplement.   Pure Hoodia has preliminary scientifically based weight loss findings.   Hoodia is reportedly safe yet a powerful appetite suppressant, clinically studied to reduce the appetite and aid in weight loss.  Find below Hoodia medical and weight loss clinical studies references we located online.

• In 2001 a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in overweight, but otherwise healthy volunteers using an extract of Hoodia Gordonii was conducted. The large doses of Hoodia Gordonii extract caused a statistically significant reduction in the average daily calorie intake. Moreover, a statistically significant body fat loss was also observed compared to the placebo group only after two weeks.
• In the brain, the hypothalamus and its nerve cells signal and control hunger.   When you eat, blood sugar goes up and these nerve cells signal your brain that you are full. Scientists discovered that Hoodia contains a previously unknown molecule called – Hoodia Steroidal Glycosides, or P57 that is reportedly estimated to be about 10,000 times more active than glucose. When it reaches your hypothalamus nerve cells, it actually makes those nerve cells react as if you were full.
