Most people have heard about meizitang strong version diet pills and know that they claim to reduce the appetite and help you to eat less, but many people don't realize that there are many different types of Hoodia - and these types vary drastically in their effectiveness.
The old lida succulent is a genus of 13 species including Hoodia gordonii - the only Hoodia effective for appetite suppression and weight loss. Hoodia gordonii grows in the wild in South Africa and Namibia and has been eaten by the native San people for thousands of years. The San tribe discovered that eating this cactus-like plant prevented hunger and thirst (which was especially useful during long hunting trips where food and water were likely to be scarce). You may have noticed that I said "cactus-like"...while Hoodia gordonii looks like a cactus, it is not a cactus at all, it is a succulent (or water retaining plant).
