Hoodia is a cactus normally found in the Kalahari Desert in Africa. I saw a study out of Stanford on it a few years ago that stated it did reduce hunger but did not support it as a weight loss agent. The FDA hasn't even screened it so I really would be careful.
If you're looking for safe weight loss, just remember what has been working for eons. Take in fewer calories than you burn.

The author of the rat study said that P57 was easily broken down by the liver, so it might be hard to take in enough of it to ensure that it had an effect. MacLean cautioned that currently available supplements might be inadequate, stating "I question whether there is really enough of the active ingredient in there to do much.
