About Hoodia
Buying
- There are many different counterfeit variations of the hoodia gordonii supplement.
- There are many different types of hoodia supplement forms.
- Each company that exports hoodia must have a Hoodia CITES Certificate.
- Only a very limited number of companies receive this certificate each year.
- Each certificate shows a ‘valid by’ date.
- If a company can’t prove it’s source through a CITES certificate, then it’s not true hoodia gordonii
Research
- There has been many studies completed proving the effectiveness of hoodia gordonii.
- There have been studies completed in both the lab and in clinical trials.
- Clinical trials on people are currently in progress.
The plant
- Hoodia gordonii grows in many other parts of the world – wrong – hoodia is only grown in a limited are of South Africa
- Hoodia gordonii can be cultivated outside of South Africa – not legally and with great difficulty
- All varieties of hoodia reduce the appetite and thirst – research has proven that only hoodia gordonii has the ability to reduce the appetite and thirst.
Buying
- All hoodia products are equal – not true – some are counterfeit and contain cheap fillers like fiber, pulp and stems.
- The cheapest hoodia products are just as effective as the more expensive – price doesn’t decide the effectiveness of a product. However considering that it is rare and difficult to get, the product is often expensive.
- Each company produces the same product quality – some companies are producing counterfeit products
- Some of the variations of hoodia are somewhat effective for appetite and thirst suppression – so far research has only proven that hoodia gordonii is effective. Also consider the fact that the Bushmen of South Africa only used the one variety of hoodia.
- A CITES certificate only shows that the company has the right hoodia gordonii but doesn’t show that other companies without a CITES certificate don’t have the right product. Only a company with the certificate is allowed to export the hoodia powder which comes from licensed hoodia growers
