Hoodia (Hoodia Gordonii) is an herb that resembles a cactus that grows in the semi-desert areas of South Africa, specifically in Botswana, Angola, and Namibia. Before science knew that this herb is a potential diet pill, the locals of these countries have been using hoodia for them to survive long and exhausting travels. Hoodia helps reduce the feelings of hunger and thirst by effectively suppressing their appetite. It was only in 1937 that studies of this herb began. It was also after this time that scientists discovered the existence of the hoodia’s active ingredient known as “p57”, the steroidal glycoside that produces the feelings of fullness and averts appetite and unhealthy cravings. P57 is thought to work by acting on the nerve cells in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls appetite based on blood glucose levels. Ideally, low levels of blood glucose will alert the hypothalamus to interpret as hunger. P57 interferes with this process to curb eating. Hoodia supplements replaced ephedra supplements in the weight loss limelight because it doesn’t produce the same harmful side effects. Hoodia supplements are also more convenient because of its different preparations. There are hoodia pills, hoodia tea, hoodia patches, and even hoodia lollipops. These days, the Hoodia Gordonii herb is considered an endangered plant species since it can only be found in the Kalahari desserts of South Africa and it is being widely used as supplements all over the world. Supplement manufacturer’s need to obtain special permit to obtain the natural Hoodia Gordonii herb.
