African Hoodia (Hoodia gordonii)
Other Common Names: Bushman's Hat, Xhoba
Family: Apocynaceae (Dogbane)
Parts Used: Stems

A Traditional Appetite Suppressant for Metabolic & Energy Support
African Hoodia is a succulent plant native to the Kalahari Desert and has been traditionally used by San (Bushmen) tribes for sustaining energy and suppressing hunger during long hunting trips. Rich in steroidal glycosides, Hoodia is best known for its appetite-regulating effects, making it a popular herb for weight management and metabolic support.
Key Benefits & Uses
Hoodia is valued for its appetite-suppressing, energy-supporting, and adaptogenic properties, making it a trusted botanical for:
✔️ Appetite control & weight balance: Traditionally used to reduce hunger and cravings
✔️ Energy & endurance support: Helps sustain physical performance in low-food conditions
✔️ Metabolic support: May assist in balancing blood sugar levels
✔️ Mild mood & focus enhancement: Traditionally used for mental clarity and stamina
✔️ Adaptogenic qualities: Supports the body during periods of calorie restriction or fasting
How to Use
🌵 Capsules/Powder: The most common form, taken for appetite regulation and energy support
🌵 Tincture: A concentrated extract for metabolic and endurance support
🌵 Tea/Infusion: Less common but can be steeped for a mild metabolic tonic
Sustainability & Sourcing
At Soulshine Wellness Co., we ensure our Hoodia is ethically and sustainably sourced, protecting its traditional use and supporting conservation efforts due to concerns about overharvesting.
Safety & Considerations
⚠️ Strong appetite suppression—should not replace proper nutrition or hydration
⚠️ Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to its appetite-regulating effects
⚠️ May impact blood sugar levels—use caution if diabetic or on glucose-regulating medications
⚠️ Avoid long-term use without breaks—best cycled to prevent excessive metabolic suppression
