During the early days of scientific research on Hoodia, it was discovered that it contained a previously unknown molecule, since which has been identified as steroidal glycosides.
Hoodia powder contains varying amounts of organic material, fibre, antioxidants and biologically active compounds including steroidal glycosides, which appear to fool the brain into thinking the stomach is full.
