Hoodia Gordonii is a leafless succulent plant that has the appearance of a cactus and originates from the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.



Originally used by local tribes to ward off hunger pains on long trips, the hoodia Gordonii secret became publicised in the western world over the last couple of years and after many clinical tests has become accepted as an aid to weight loss programs.

It is believed by researchers that a molecule within the plant contains these hunger suppressant particles which can also increase energy levels.

Although there are known to be at least twenty varieties of the Hoodia plant in existance, it is believed that only the Hoodia Gordonii one contains these amazing properties.

The extract of the Hoodia Gordonii plant is emerging as possibly the greatest weight-reducing diet supplement with no known side effects. Hoodia gordonii diet pills also have a natural feel-good aphrodisiac quality. All studies performed to date have shown no ill effects amongst subjects supplementing their diet with Hoodia Gordonii.

It should be noted that Hoodia gordonii is a protected plant species, and is regulated in its international trade. A Hoodia C.I.T.E.S certificate is required to export it out of South Africa, the only place where it grows naturally. Also, bona fide companies will provide an analytical report to prove its authenticity.

Therefore, if you want to ensure that you are obtaining authentic hoodia gordonii, always look for hoodia product sellers that display both a C.I.T.E.S certificate and an analytical report.
