Hoodia is a herbal remedy derived from an ugly African cactus plant called hoodia gordoni. Hoodia gordoni is reported to act as a natural appetite suppressant. Nature has blessed Africa with a generous richness of flora. Over 30,000 species grace this vast and diverse landscape. Ethno botany is beginning to reveal more and more about the healing properties and nutritional value of Africa's plants and time-tested practices and stories handed down from generation to generation are being recorded for their value to our health.There are about 20 species in the hoodia family, but only the gordoni contains the active ingredient that is known to San Bushmen of the Kalahri to stave off hunger pangs and assist weight loss.

NB. The evidence shows that Hoodia can help weight loss by cutting calorie intake. The one thing it will not do is correct food choices. For healthy weight loss, focus should be on avoidance of saturated fats, fried and fast foods, sugar and white flour based products with inclusion of healthy carbohydrates like fruit, vegetables and whole grains.

Cautions: Keep out of direct sunlight and store in a cool dry place. Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to taking this product if you are currently taking prescription medication.
