General Information
The Sun tribe of the Kalahari Desert, in South Africa, discovered the Hoodia Gordonii plant. The San tribe used the Hoodia plant to suppress hunger and thirst during their hunting trips. People have also found that Hoodia boosts energy levels and assists in maintaining these levels. The San people used to peel the fingers of the plant, much like peeling a banana, to rid it of the thorns, and ate the bitter-tasting flesh. The Hoodia Gordonii plant resembles a cacti plant in its appearance with seasonal saucer-like flesh colored flowers. The plant grows exclusively in the desert climates of Southern African countries (i.e. South Africa and Namibia).

The active compound found in Hoodia Gordonii, namely P-57, works by sending signals to your brain informing it that you have sufficient energy resources (sugar). In this way the brain is tricked to think that you do not need to eat to increase your energy resources, thereby suppressing one's hunger. The herb works best when used in conjunction with a low calorie diet and regular exercise.

Please note : Hoodia Gordonii is a protected plant. Only licensed permit holders are allowed to grow, harvest and/ or sell Hoodia Gordonii legally. For Export, all Hoodia Gordonii products have to be accompanied by a CITES permit issued by the correct department.
