- Hoodia Gordonii, the main ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii Plus, is a cactus-like flowering plant indigenous to southern Africa. For thousands of years it has been used by the Bushmen of the Kalahari for treating ailments such as
indigestion and minor infections but its most famous use has been as an appetite suppressant. When the Bushmen were going on extended hunting trips into the desert or during periods of famine when food was scarce its plant was used to lessen or prevent thirst and hunger pains.

4. Is hoodia gordonii plus safe?
- Hoodia gordonii is generally touted as an appetite suppressant without any negative side effects however people with diabetes must be careful. Hoodia works by tricking the brain into thinking that it has enough blood sugar so if you are diabetic it’s possible that your insulin levels could drop dangerously low without you experiencing your body’s usual warning signs.
Although it is not really an issue in the West hoodia also quenches your thirst so it is important to keep yourself hydrated even if you don’t feel like drinking water. In Africa there are reports of Kalahari Bushmen who have ended up dying of thirst after consuming hoodia over long periods of time and not realizing that they needed to drink! People with kidney disease, pregnant women and children should not take hoodia.
5. Which hoodia gordonii product is the most effective?
- All products (including pills, powders, teas and even lollipops!) with hoodia gordonii and the extract P57 are equally effective however hoodia is actually a protected species of plant and the San Tribe of the Kalahari are paid royalties for all of the hoodia plants which are harvested so it is very rare and expensive ingredient. This means that the majority of companies marketing hoodi gordonii are providing products which either have not enough of the active ingredient P57 or none at all! Hoodia Gordonii Plus is an established industry leader in providing authentic certified hoodia products from the Kalahari region (plants harvested in different climates including China and Mexico have been proven to not be as effective). With many positive testimonials endorsing them, Hoodia Gordonii Plus is so confident in the effectiveness of their product that they are offering a free trial (excluding shipping and handling) with a money back guarantee on their product.
