Hoodia has recently been in the news as the latest and greatest weight loss pill. It is an appetite suppressant which, although fairly new to Australia, has been used for hundreds of years in South Africa as an indigeneous food. Hoodia itself is a cactus like plant with stalks resembling spiky pickles. It looks like a cactus but is in fact not related to the cactus. The plant can grow up to 1 metre high. They grow naturally in South Africa and the plant is called Xhoba but the indigenous people of that region. It is a protected plant and so is difficult to obtain and export.

Hoodia first came on the market as a nutritional supplement which contained a small amount of Hoodia. Only a small number of studies have been done but the results so far are exciting, especially to the millions of overweight or obese people around the world. Studies have shown that people taking Hoodia have gradually lost weight without feeling hungry at all. They are able to reduce their calorie intake without even thinking about it and without struggling. More and more companies are trying to develop the ultimate diet pill using Hoodia and new supplements are coming on to the market daily.

The diet industry is big business and Hoodia looks set to change the entire industry. Hoodia is a natural plant based appetite suppressant with no known side effects. Research is yet to be done to confirm that this is the case but the research is taking place now. Hopefully as more research is carried out we will be able to experience the full benefits of this plant.
