| Hoodia Gordonii grows naturally in South Africa, Namibia and a small amount can be found in the region of Botswana. Hoodia Gordonii does not exist in China and can be equated to the diamond industry as it is very rare and tightly controlled making it a commodity to be reckoned with. The only place in the world where Hoodia grows in the wild is the Kalahari desert in southern Africa. The plant has been eaten for centuries by the Kalahari bushmen living in the area, reportedly to prevent hunger during long journeys. A South African laboratory that had been studying indigenous plants for many years identified a molecule in the Hoodia plant, termed P57, that appears to suppress appetite. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
