BACKGROUND
Nutrithin is another hoodia-related supplement that promises to help you lose weight by keeping hunger at bay. South African tribesman have eaten the cactus plant Hoodia for many years. Hoodia is supposed to be able to sustain hunters during long journeys by suppressing hunger. Studies have shown that Hoodia contains, P57, a property that interacts with the brain by telling it that it’s full even though very little or no food has been consumed. Even though there are many varieties of hoodia, only one, hoodia gordonii has the supposed dietary effects.
It is suggested to take 1 capsule of Nutrithin a half an hour before meals three times per day. Since the product does contain ginseng, a stimulant, you might want to limit your caffeine intake while taking this product.
There is no specified time duration for how long you are to take Nutrithin but the product is supposed to suppress your appetite so that you’ll eat less and lose weight. It can be incorporated into any dietary eating plan.
There are no side effects noted for the product although it does encourage any potential user to discuss taking Nutithin with their medical doctor.
