South African Hoodia

Hoodia and Southern Africa has a long relationship. It started in 1937, when a Dutch anthropologist studying the San indigenous people in the Kalahari desert near what is now the South Africa-Namibia border noted that they sucked on the Hoodia plant as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher.

These bushmen did not eat on their two to three day hunts; instead, they munched on the stem of this succulent to suppress their hunger and thirst.

Three decades ago, South African scientists at a government lab called the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research began studying the Hoodia plant and noticed that lab animals eating this plant lost weight, but otherwise did well.

Today, Hoodia Gordonii wild population is widespread mainly in South Africa and Namibia. However, due to the growing demand, some years ago several private companies and farmers started Hoodia Gordonii commercial cultivation, particularly in South Africa, because of the appropriate climate and soil conditions.

There are other Hoodia Gordonii commercial cultivation which have started in China and Mexico. Perhaps of low quality, probably they will improve in the near future. But for the time being, most Hoodia Gordonii manufacturers are using the Hoodia grown in South Africa, just because the succulents grown there is exactly the same than San people sucked and chewed for centuries.
