Common Name: hoodia, Kalahari cactus, Xhoba

Latin Name: Hoodia gordonii

Hoodia is a flowering, cactus-like plant native to the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. Hoodia's harvest is protected by conservation laws.

• Kalahari Bushmen have traditionally eaten hoodia stems to reduce their hunger and thirst during long hunts.
• Today, hoodia is marketed as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.

Dried extracts of hoodia stems and roots are used to make capsules, powders, and chewable tablets. Hoodia can also be used in liquid extracts and teas.

Hoodia products often contain other herbs or minerals, such as green tea or chromium picolinate.
