What is hoodi?

Hoodi (Hoodia) is a plant species native to southern Africa. It has been traditionally used by the indigenous San people of the Kalahari Desert as an appetite suppressant during long hunting trips. Hoodi gained popularity in the 2000s as a weight loss supplement due to its purported ability to curb cravings and reduce calorie intake. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support these claims and some hoodi products may contain fillers or potentially harmful additives. The plant is also overharvested, leading to concern about sustainability and preservation of the plant species.
