- A succulent plant, of the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. It was used to reduce the appetite during long hunts and times of famine and hence, commonly considered a "famine food" in India. It is the active ingredient of recent patents that are becoming increasingly popular for their appetite suppressant and weight loss properties, as well as their ability to improve glycemic control. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has added this plant to the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list of food ingredients in 2014.
