Scientific Summary
Hoodia gordonii is a leafless, spiny succulent plant native to Botswana, South Africa, and Namibia. It is traditionally used as an appetite suppressant and to soothe mild digestive discomfort. Because the species is protected under CITES, commercial use requires permits, and users should note that safety data are limited and the plant may interact with other medications.
