The hoodia succulent plant looks like a cactus.

An appetite suppressant is a substance that is able to fool the brain into thinking that it does not need food, resulting in you feeling full long before you are actually full, and resulting in a reduction of the amount of calories consumed, which in turn equates to potential weight loss. Appetite suppressants were probably made fashionable by the product Thinz, which was known as being a magnificent appetite suppressant. This product has been recently banned in some countries due to the main ingredient of the thinz being slightly addictive and also being used for illegal drug manufacture. Thinz users have been forced to find an alternative appetite suppressant and many have now turned to the completely natural appetite suppressing qualities of hoodia.

P57 is the appetite suppressing active substance that is found in the hoodia gordonii plant. The natural appetite suppressant, hoodia gordonii has taken the world by such a storm that demand is now exceeding supply and a few diet pill manufacturers have not been able to maintain supplies in order to meet the demand. This has unfortunately led to some suppliers using less hoodia per serving and using other fillers in their capsules. Some products have even been found that contain none of the appetite suppressant at all.

Pure hoodia, used as an appetite suppressant has no known side effects. However it is possible that some hoodia pills that contain fillers and other ingredients may have a few side effects due to the impure nature of the product.
