Understanding Pure Hoodia Gordonii

This article will mainly tell you how determine true Hoodia from those cheap imitations on the market as well as dramatically increase your chances of buying a quality hoodia product

But first, ill tell you why there are so many imitations lurking about in the market.

And here are the reasons why true Hoodia is being imitated and rarely seen genuine ones:

1. Hoodia gordonii is a rare plant that thrives in Southern Africa. It takes 6 to 7 years to reach maturity in order for it to take it effect thus, limits the supply.

2. Hoodia is a protected plant and its trade is governed by International law. And a Hoodia CITES certificate is needed in order to export it legally outside South Africa. Because of this, supply is greatly limited

3. The media and most influential shows — have all covered the appetite suppressing effects of pure hoodia gordonii, leading to an even greater demand of the product which leads to less supplies of the product.

4. There are several types of hoodia plant, but only the hoodia gordonii species has the weight loss active ingredient.

5. Hoodia isn’t regulated by the FDA, so no testing is required in order for it to hit the shelves or be sold online.

Be advised, when you seek genuine Hoodia products; don’t necessarily think that you’ll find it through the net. As a matter of fact, some markets have decided to stop selling some Hoodia products because of some quality issues. Basically, just because it’s sold in a store doesn’t mean it has better quality.

Here are some deceptive claims made by some hoodia product sellers;

Like statedabove, there different types of hoodia plant. Since only the hoodia gordonii species has the wanted effects, and is expensive and hard to get, some dishonest companies will utilize any hoodia plant and start claiming as a “pure hoodia” product.

It may contain Hoodia, but if you truly seek the effects, then it’s worthless to buy these sort of things because only Hoodia gordonii has the desired effect.

Also be aware of the products that are solely made from the “whole hoodia gordonii plant.”

40% of the plant contains no active ingredient like the skin, fibrous material, flowers, and pulpy leaves. To reduce costs of making the product (thus reducing its effectiveness) some make their products from the whole plant.

However, it wouldn’t be a scam if they’re advertising pure hoodia gordonii made from entire plant, but it’s something worth being aware of.

However there are some companies that produce hoodia concentrates which are a bit better.

This is produced by taking the hoodia gordonii plant and placing it into an alcohol solution. Once the alcohol is removed, it removes a great deal of the fillers, thus leaving a higher amount of the core of the plant, which is where the desired ingredient is.

This concentrate is then used for the product.

When you encounter a 10:1 on a hoodia product’s label, this basically means 10 grams of the whole hoodia plant was used to make 1 gram of what goes into the product.

However there are some companies that claim to contain pure hoodia gordonii in their products, but upon inspection of the label, you’ll see other ingredients, which are usually stimulants that increase your body’s metabolism.

This isn’t  a scam because some people choose to purchase hoodia products that contain caffeine stimulants that can increase potential weight loss benefits of the product.

On the other hand, many people are searching for pure hoodia gordonii without any mix of stimulants because they don’t react well to some stimulants.

Lastly, because a Hoodia CITES certificate is required for export of the hoodia gordonii plant, so try searching for Hoodia CITES certificate for vendors or finding one on their website to increase chances of buying the genuine product.

However the certificate is never an assurance since most companies create fraud copies of the certificates.

Just keep in mind these simple points and facts and you’ll increase your chances of buying real pure hoodia gordonii products.
