BUYER BEWARE! ALL HOODIA IS NOT ALIKE!
From all the information presented so far, it should be apparent that buying genuine Hoodia is a difficult task. Of course, because there is a large profit to be made and a relatively small supply of the plant, it's necessary to be able to spot fake supplements that are on the market. The best way to spot the bad supplements is to find out how they are made. Don't be scammed! Read the information below carefully before your purchase!
BUYER BEWARE! ALL HOODIA IS NOT ALIKE!
Hoodia not from the Kalahari Desert does not work. Only Hoodia grown in the Kalahari Desert is effective and that version of the plant has been locked up by big pharmaceutical companies. Therefore the price for the real stuff is high. Watch out for the cheap imitations grown in the United States, Mexico or Asia – they are a lot cheaper and they simply do NOT work.
Hoodia Gordonii is the ONLY Hoodia you should buy
Here’s another important fact. There are 20 species of the Hoodia plant and but Hoodia Gordonii is the one and only species that can suppress appetite. There’s a lot of cheats out there who will tell you their product contains ‘100% Hoodia’. While what they are telling you is technically true, unless it is 100% Hoodia Gordonii, it simply will NOT work! Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations. Hoodia Gordonii is not easy to find and it takes an experienced Bushman to locate the proper species in the wild.
A large percentage of the Hoodia plant has NO USE
Watch out what part of the plant is used in the supplement that you’re taking. While some less than reputable companies like to claim they use 100% Hoodia, it’s not in your best interest if they really mean it. Only a certain part of the plant is effective and the Bushmen always peel away the outer skin and remove the spines from the Hoodia before eating it. If you take the whole plant, skin, roots and all, and crush it into powder - a large percentage of what you get (as much as 40%) is just skin and roots, which have absolutely no appetite suppressant effect at all. Because it’s not always cost effective, some companies leave these parts on and this ruins the appetite suppression powers of the plant.
Beware of fake Hoodia Review/Ranking Reports
Another big trend the crooks have adapted is that of the Hoodia ranking review/report. All of a sudden, everyone seeking to dupe public is setting up a Hoodia Review/Ranking/Report site. Fact is they have conducted no objective research or scientific investigations. They seek only to reel you in, flash a few fabricated C.I.T.E.S. or fake "credentials", and take your money.
Beware of Hoodia in drug store chains
Many people are shocked the Hoodia purchased in national health food stores and drug chains is useless. They don’t understand that national health stores and drug chains only care about their bottom line. If vendor X wants the national health stores and chains to carry his worthless Hoodia, all he has to do is:
- Insure & indemnify the chain against potential claims and damages
- Provide a C of A stating it's uncontaminated
- Agree to promote and advertise aggressively
- sell it dirt cheap
Rest assured, they already know real Hoodia is not cheap. Still, they're willing to look the other way and insist on a dirt cheap prices just to bolster their bottom line.
It’s not shocking to those of us in the know but to others it’s a real surprise. It is sad that this type of callous disregard for the public interest is allowed. All we can hope is that someday the government or some other entity will do something.
CONCLUSION
Unscrupulous merchants may use any combination of the tricks above, and in our opinion, if you spot ANY of these tricks, you should stop dealing with the merchant involved immediately! Moreover, some companies just roll the dice and ignore the FDA guidelines and quality control measures. Also, real Hoodia Gordonii from the Kalahari Desert is expensive to grow, process and bottle, so the bottom line is: If a Hoodia product is very cheap, it is probably a fake.
Don't despair, the great news is: There are still quite a few honest, reputable companies out there that sell only 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa. Please read on…
