Typically the bushmen would cut off a stem about the size of a cucumber, and eat the fleshy interior. This helped to ward off hunger and thirst whilst at the same time supplying energy.

Hoodia Gordonii is very slow growing, and due to the high world demand for Hoodia diet pills - demand has outstripped supply, resulting in a high price. Due to this, many supposed hoodia gordonii products have been found to be fake and contain little or no actual hoodia gordonii. Unfortunately where ever there is a quick buck to be made with a fashionable product, the fraudsters are quick to jump onto the band wagon with fake products. Hoodia Gordonii was one such example which had many people purchasing these fake and watered down products, and then turning around and saying that hoodia is a scam product. Hoodia is not a scam product and is probably the best natural appetite suppressant available, but it has fallen foul of some scammers.
Hoodia Gordonii is the best natural appetite suppressant available. Hoodia Gordonii works by tricking the brain into thinking that the stomach is full and that it has enough nutrition.

Attempts have been made to cultivate the hoodia gordonii succulent plant in both Mexico and China, but the results are somewhat dubious and when buying hoodia, it is far safer to buy a proven product that stems from Southern africa, which includes the area’s of Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and Angola. All hoodia gordonii that is exported out of Southern africa must have a CITES certificate, which proves the origin of the product. All cultivators and harvesters of hoodia gordonii have to be licensed. These measures have been implemented to avoid the plant from becoming extinct.
