Hoodia is the newest weight loss sensation that is sweeping the diet pill industry. Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent (similar to Aloe) plant found in desert regions of South Africa . For thousands of years, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert have used Hoodia Gordonii to counter hunger and thirst, when they were deprived of food on long hunting expeditions in the desert.

Unlike most diet supplements, Hoodia Gordonii is entirely natural - it is not a drug, and has no stimulant properties. Hoodia Gordonii mimics the effects of glucose on nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain, fooling the body into thinking that it is "satisfied" or "full". This helps curb appetite, and calorie intake in the diet is reduced.

In addition to a full 500 mg of Hoodia, Diet Maxx also includes Vitamin B6, Glucomannan, Chromium, and Vanadium, which you won't find in most other Hoodia products. Click on the Formula page to learn about the benefits of these ingredients.
