It was last 1977 when South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) isolated the active ingredient of hoodia gordonii which called p57. The scientists were the ones who gave that name since it was their 57th project that time. CSIR gave Phytopharm a license and they collaborated with Pfizer to isolate p57. Due to the difficulty of synthesizing the active molecule, the development of hoodia was stopped, so Pfizer gave back the rights to Phytopharm.

Scientists tested p57 by rats, they injected the rats with p57 and they found out that the rats eat less than with those rats that weren’t injected with the active ingredient found in hoodia gordonii. So, they came up to the conclusion that it works by making you eat less since it can trick the brain in telling you that you are full.
