Hoodia is a prickly plant called a succulent, which closely resembles the cactus family. Bearing large odorous blooms, the Hoodia plant has been used for ages by the San tribe of South Africa. The San people, also commonly known as bushmen, use Hoodia by chewing on the root during long desert trips.
The Hoodia information that is currently available comes mostly from a British pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm, but they do not like for their findings to be applied to natural Hoodia Gordonii products that are currently on the market. They say that the Hoodia studies that they have completed at this time show that Hoodia Gordonii is safe and is effective as an Appetite Suppressant, but they say that the Hoodia Gordonii products that are currently on the market may not be genuine Hoodia Gordonii. They also say that the active molecules may not be present in sufficient amounts to cause the desired effect.
For the last 25,000 years, the indigenous people of the Kalahari desert region have been using Hoodia Gordonii as an Appetite Suppressant.
Its main function was to quell the thirst and hunger that would affect warriors during long hunting trips. These warriors even fed their dogs slices of the plant to keep them from having interest in their food supplies.
Hoodia Gordonii is a member of the plant family Apocynaceae and is called a “stem succulent” due to its prickly cactus-like appearance. Hoodia Gordonii feature large, creamy pink blossoms on the tops of their prickly stems.
Tribal African bushmen have been utilizing Hoodia Gordonii for hundreds of years to reduce hunger while on lengthly hunting and gathering trips.
