Hoodia Gordonii is a plant native to Southern Africa, being found most commonly in the Kalahari desert. It is a member of the succulent family, and is extremely hard to cultivate, taking years to mature. Recently, it has been discovered that Hoodia Gordonii contains a very powerful molecule that works as an appetite suppressant. This molecule is known as P57.
The native people of the Kalahari Desert, the San Tribe, have used Hoodia Gordonii for centuries, possibly even for thousands of years. The San Tribe is one of the oldest living tribes in the world. They have successfully used Hoodia Gordonii as an appetite and thirst suppressant in times of hunger, or when they needed to travel long distances without eating.
Other tribes in Africa, such as the Anikhwe in Northern Botswana, the Hai Tribe from Northen Namibia, and the Khomani tribe from northwestern South Africa have recorded using Hoodia Gordonii in their tribal rituals, as a medicine and as a food supplement.
The plant appears after summer rainfalls in the following areas; Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. It can also be found after winter rainfall in Namibia. While there are several types of Hoodia plants spread throughout Africa, Hoodia Gordonii can only be found in Southern Africa.
Mature Hoodia Gordonii plants can reach almost 6 feet in height and they are extremely difficult to cultivate. The plants need temperatures of at least 50 degrees, whether they are in the sun or shade. The appearance of the plant is light green, and it frequently grows in clumps of upright stems.
