One of the hottest new diet supplements on the market is the Hoodia pill. Hoodia is made from gordonii, a plant that has been used in South Africa for years. The tribal hunters break off a piece of the bark from this plant and chew on it, allowing them to go all day without eating while they hunt. Modern Americans can now use the same plant to lose weight.

on 8/23/2008 Hoodia is a hoax. My husband is from South Africa, and they have never even heard of Hoodia, neither do they use it for weight loss. It is highly unlikely to cause any long term weight loss benefits and it's long term side effects aren't well documented. It should be considered risky and not very beneficial to weight loss in the first place.
