Hoodia Gordonii
Found deep in the Kalahari desert, Hoodia Gordonii
is a succulent plant that looks like a small cactus.
This strangely-shaped little plant has many
relatives throughout the desert, but only one
variety, Hoodia Gordonii, is known to have an effect
on appetite and weight loss. There are no known
side-effects from Hoodia, which has been studied
scientifically for over 30 years. Most recently,
Phytopharm has invested millions in isolating
Hoodia’s active components.
For generations, the San Bushmen have eaten Hoodia
to control both hunger and thirst as they roam the
Kalahari desert. They would consume the raw plant
over long desert journeys, allowing them to eat and
drink almost nothing for hours and days at a time.
And for generations, only the San people knew of
Hoodia’s remarkable properties.
