The Hoodia Gordonii plant grows in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa. The Kalahari is 100,000 square miles of hostile African Desert. The Hoodia Gordonii plant grows in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa and although it looks like a cactus and is in fact part of that family, it is categorized as a succulent. The Hoodia plant has been used for centuries by the San People of the Kalahari to stave off pain, hunger and thirst when they travelled for weeks, months and even years across the vast desert. The San people number in the 100,000-population range and with the Hoodia plant marketed around the world will see riches beyond their imagination. What is the science behind it? Hoodia plants are native to the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Angola. And even though there are about 20 species in the family, the Gordonii is the only one that contains the natural appetite suppressant. When South African scientists were testing the Hoodia plant, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule. Results of human clinical trials in Britain suggest that this active ingredient could reduce the appetite by up to 2,000 calories a day. This active ingredient works by replicating the effect glucose has on nerve cells in the brain fooling the body into thinking it is full, even when it is not. Hoodia appears to contain a molecule that is almost 10,000 times stronger than glucose.
