1. What's a hoodia really?

Hoodia is a plant found mainly in the southern parts of Africa, more specifically in Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. It is most often associated with the Kalahari Desert. The area in which it lives determines its basic property hoodia gordonii, like the cactus, is succulent. This means that its construction is adapted to high temperatures, thanks to specially specialized tissues that are capable of accumulating water to survive in extreme environments.

2. Hoodia and her actions

It's worth asking why we're even talking about hoodia when it's so little-known and hard-to-reach in Africa. The reason for this is the rise in its popularity in the media, where it has been repeatedly touted as an effective weight loss tool and a weapon against overweight. So let's try to see how it really is. The first scientific reports about the alleged effect of hoodia on obesity come from the indigenous inhabitants of the African lands. However, their opinion is that the consumption of plant fragments contributes to a clear suppression of appetite, which is extremely helpful during prolonged stay in the desert areas.

3. Summary Is it worth it?

So hoodia gondoria turns out to be a supplement with questionable effectiveness. The lack of reliable research on the actual effects of the plant on the human body and its supposed action does not put this plant in a very positive light. On the one hand, there is nothing stopping you from seeing for yourself its properties, but on the other hand, does it make sense to focus on something not fully known and researched? I think we'll have to wait a little longer before hoodia is broken down into the first factors. Right now, it's better not to take supplements that use its effects, because in most cases its content is just tiny!
