Does Hoodia Gordonii really work? Hoodia Gordonii, also called hoodia gordoni plus, hoodia cactus, hoodia, xhooba, Ghaap and South African desert cactus, has been a great success in America in recent years even though Hoodia was already discovered thousand of years ago in South Africa.

The Bushman in South Africa used Hoodia for indigestion, abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, hypertension and diabetes. In addition to treating different diseases, Hoodia was mainly used as an appetite suppressant during hunting trips when food was not available.

Hoodia is still used today all over the world but it wasn’t until 1963 when US scientists took it to the next level and sold Hoodia in major US stores, with great success. It works great for most overweight people, there are no side effects and results can be seen within a few weeks.
