History
Hoodia is a succulent plant found in the Kalahari desert of South Africa. Hoodia plants are not cacti, although they do have a spiny appearance similar to cacti. A species of the family Apocynaceae, Hoodia gordonii is widely used traditionally by the San people of southern Africa as an appetite suppressant, thirst quencher. Common names include "Bushman's Hat" and "Queen of the Namib".
The Hoodia gordonii plant has been used for centuries by the San people of South Africa’s Kalahari desert, to suppress the appetite during long hunting trips. The naturally occurring phytochemicals in Hoodia create a feeling of fullness after ingestion. As a result of these properties, Hoodia powder is becoming an increasingly popular herbal as a natural aid to weight loss or healthy weight management.
