A recent laboratory study found that the active ingredient of Hoodia was successful in promoting weight loss. However, the anecdotal evidence is not as good and suggests that Hoodia Gordonii Plus does not work at all. One user reported that even after four days she had seen no positive effects and that she still felt hungry. However, judging by how easy it is to buy Hoodia Gordonii Plus on the internet it must be working for some people.

It is very interesting to think about the name of the pill. Using the word “Plus” at the end seems to be a conscious effort by the makers to ‘talk up’ its benefits. If it works so well why not just market it as Hoodia or Hoodia Gordonii
As mentioned previously Kalahari bushmen apparently used Hoodia as an appetite suppressant while they were hunting. Some research in South Africa has found that even different villages are divided over whether the plant was used for this purpose.
One study of literature regarding the plant found that prior to the pill being patented there was only one reference to the plant being used as an appetite suppressant. The study suggested that Hoodia Gordonii Plus was used as a food source (despite the smell and the thorns) and as a thirst quencher rather than as a way of suppressing hunger. The researchers also found that the cactus was used for a variety of other reasons, including protection against witchcraft. This is obviously not particularly useful for most people in the western world, although there may be a niche market for fans of the tv show Charmed.
Although it is not particularly effective, Hoodia Gordonii Plus remains a popular and widely marketed weight loss pill. However, it is very likely that its success is mainly due to its African background.
