Stop! Read this Before You Buy Hoodia! Don't Waste Your Money!

By Debra Marie Ryan

Hoodia gordonii (hg) is an extremely popular appetite suppressant as a hoodia diet pill or liquid hoodia, but the popularity of hg has become a problem in the way of weight loss companies ripping off the consumer. Due to the demand for hoodia gordonii, the South African government had to put restrictions on the trade of this native plant.

How does this affect you, the consumer who wants to buy hoodia gordonii online? As with any weight loss ingredient that is in high demand with low supply, this created a situation where the South African government had to limit the trade amounts of hoodia gordonii.

Of course, this lead to illegal trade on the black market where weight loss companies bought impure hoodia gordonii that may cause side effects. As well, weight loss companies may also put such low amounts of hoodia gordonii in their product so that the p57 (active ingredient in hoodia gordonii) was ineffective as a weight loss appetite suppressant.

Enter the con artist pro who uses low grade hoodia that may be contaminated (causing side effects) OR puts such low amounts of hoodia in the cheap hoodia diet pills or weight loss capsules that the active ingredient in hoodia gordonii, p57, is irrelevant to your weight loss efforts.

When a plant becomes endangered like the hoodia gordonii cactus, in order to preserve the species, only companies that have a CITES Certification are able to legally trade with the native country. In this case, the weight loss diet pill company that purchase hoodia has to pass certain requirements.

When you buy hoodia gordonii, you need to check for documents on the site or forum that state that they have a CITES Certification. When a weight loss company is not CITES certified, you have no idea if the hoodia gordonii is pure hoodia gordonii or not because they havent legally obtained the hoodia gordonii plants from South Africa.

Alkemist Pharmaceuticals (a leading lab in the US) is one such lab that performs two tests to verify whether or not the weight loss companys hoodia gordonii supply is 100% pure, unadulterated hoodia gordonii. Again, documentation on hoodia gordonii sites and forums should be shown to prove this factor.

Remember that weight loss will not occur simply by taking a hoodia gordonii liquid or pill no matter how pure the hoodia gordonii is. What I want you to be on the look out for are weight loss companies that advertise their product without advising at least a bit on proper diet and exercise.

Alkemist Pharmaceuticals is the leading independent lab for testing herbals in the United States. Not only one, but two tests (microscopic and chemical analyses) are performed to prove that the hoodia gordonii used in a product is in fact, pure hoodia gordonii.

Pure hoodia gordonii contains p57 which will help you lose weight by controlling your appetite. It merely helped me resist tempting foods because my appetite was under control. I wouldnt have achieved my weight loss goals if I had continued to eat too much while taking hoodia gordonii.

The cheap factor: Pure hoodia gordonii plants are sold for $250-$350 per kilo. When weight loss companies produce diet pills that are sold online for next to nothing, the capsules cannot possibly contain pure hoodia. When you buy pure hoodia gordonii products, you need to keep this in mind.
