Before people were able to buy Unique Hoodia, the hoodia gordonii cactus plant was originally used by the San tribesmen. The Sans are located in the Kalahari Desert, one of the most hostile and dry regions of the earth. How do they survive such hostile and dry regions?

The answer lay in the flora that was able to sustain itself in the land of the Kalahari. The hoodia gordonii plant, was already being used by the Sans for hundreds of years as a hunger suppressant. It was only logical that the tribe would thrive in such a hostile place because of the cactus.
