The use of Hoodia has long been known by the indigenous populations of Southern Africa, with their centuries old use of the plant to suppress appetite, and quench thirst when making long hunting trips in the Kalahari Desert, but its only been in recent times that Hoodia, due to its appetite suppressing properties, has become a popular weight management solution for the rest of the world.

Hoodia gordonii is a leafless spiny cactus like stem succulent, described as "cactiform" because of its remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family. Its a native to South Africa and Namibia and in recent times, after the popularity of its powerful appetite suppressing properties, is now being commercially farmed in Asia and Africa.
