Hoodia Gordonii (Xhoba) is a succulent (cactus like) plant found in desert regions of South Africa (Namibia, Angola and Botswana).
For thousands of years, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert have used Hoodia Gordonii to counter hunger and thirst when deprived of food on long hunting expeditions in the desert.
Not all members of the Hoodia family of plants are biologically active. Hoodia Supreme™ is produced from the species Hoodia Gordonii which has been used in the food chain of the indigent desert people of South Africa.
A Dutch anthropologist discovered the
use of Hoodia Gordonii by the
San Bushmen in the 1930's. The
Bushmen used Hoodia as food and
sustenance during nomadic hunting
expeditions.
Hoodia Gordonii has been reported to provide a sense of alertness and it may also have aphrodisiac qualities.
