Hoodia Gordonii- 5 Things You Must Look For Before Buying

By: James Comer

Question # 1: Does the vendor that you are buying from allow anonymous, random, and ongoing product testing of their Hoodia by an independent lab? Also, and just as crucial, are they only sending in a batch sample with a lot number for testing?

This is Why.

There are dishonest vendors who will display the lot numbers tested on their website from a lab considered to be very reputable. But, the only way to know that this constitutes irrefutable proof of their hoodia product's strength is if the company permits ongoing, anonymous, and random testing of the actual product that is sold to the consumer. This should be completely verifiable, and also the testing should be done where the vendor doesn't know the exact testing place, where the products are bought from nor when the product was purchased. The results from such testing should be displayed right on the testing laboratorie's websites.

Question # 2: PURITY- Is there an easy way to see if the product is made ONLY from 100% pure South African Hoodia gordonii-with no fillers or additives?

There is a way to determine the purity of the hoodi gordonii. Looking at the label, check under the "Supplement Facts" section on the label. If it declares specifically that there are no additives, this will be apparent by your seeing the word "None" in the "Other Ingredients" section of the label. If there is anything else listed, then it's not pure hoodia.

There is a trick known as the "O.I. (Other Ingredients) trick. Unless the manufacturer lists the other ingredients as "None", then it can list other fillers and additives as "Other Ingredients" and they can legally say that the product's full gross weight as being true Hoodia Gordonii.

You see, the government allows the diet supplement industry to use certain "flow agents" to help simplify the manufacturing process.

Using cellulose, silica, magnesium stereate, and other similar ingredients can be avoided easily. However, scammers know that they can simply declare them as "other ingredients", thereby exploiting the big loophole in the law at the consumer's expense.

But with today's new high compression encapsulation machines, it's no longer necessary. to load capsules with fillers-and still call it pure. It may cost more, but it's the right thing to do.

Avoid the common "Bait and Switch" practice in which less than reputable vendors spoon-feed the lab a genuine sample, but then sell the public a counterfeit or watered-down product.

Question # 3: CORRECT SPECIES- Does the product claim to be Hoodia gordonii of South African origin or just Hoodia? Of the more than 20 varieties of Hoodia known, only the gordonii species from South Africa has been proven to reduce caloric intake in humans. So-called "Chinese" Hoodia, for example, is fake.

Question # 4 ACTIVE PART- "Is the Hoodia I buy made from the biologically active part of the Hoodia gordonii Succulent. Does the vendor use only the peeled stem of the Hoodia gordonii plant?"

You shouldn't buy hoodia gordonii from any company using the "whole plant" or anything that isn't purely the "peeled stems. These products would automatically have atleast 50% less of the hoodia's active ingredients necessary for effective appetite control.

You don't want the root, nor the flowers, nor the bark. The P-57 part of the plant- or "peeled stem" is the part of the hoodia plant that you want.

Question # 5: POTENCY - Am I sure the Hoodia I buy is of the highest potency possible. Does the company or its farmers patiently cultivate the Hoodia succulents for at least 3-1/2 years before harvesting the stems?

Hoodia milled from immature plants may test "positive" for Hoodia gordonii but lack sufficient P57 to suppress the appetite. Additionally, Hoodia loses its strength when exposed or dried in open sunlight or in kilns above a certain temperature; or when milled above certain microns.
