Many companies selling Hoodia today have realized the importance of having their products certified. The favorite certificates are the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate, which proves that the product has been legally imported from South Africa and a certificate from Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, which proves that their product is authentic hoodia gordonii.
Not only do these companies make claims to having these certificates, but they also feature them on their websites and the effect is certainly very official. Unfortunately, many of these certificates on Hoodia websites appear to be as fake as the product they are selling. These certificates have been taken or copied from elsewhere. Relevant portions have been blacked out, or parts of the certificate are just not legible.
So, how does one find an authentic hoodia gordonii product? Either find certificates that are totally readable, or find a company that has had their product tested further by more companies than just the two mentioned above.
Take UniqueHoodia for instance. They have the CITES certificate, proving that their hoodia gordonii is genuine, pure and legally imported from South Africa. What they also have is more than just the one certificate. They also have an Organics Annex Certificate, which proves that their hoodia gordonii is organic and has been sent directly from the farmers in South Africa to the UniqueHoodia manufacturing units in the USA. This means that their pure hoodia gordonii reaches the USA fresh from South Africa…it has not been sitting in a storage shed with any middle men. Another certificate they have is a COA – a Certificate of Analysis that is issued prior to the hoodia gordonii entering the country. This proves that their product was analyzed under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), and is genuine hoodia gordonii.
UniqueHoodia has also been tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and as further back up, by CNL (Certified Natural Laboratories) as well. Both laboratories have passed the hoodia gordonii in UniqueHoodia. So here we have a company that has had its pure hoodia gordonii tested before it reaches the country and after it has arrived as well…and it has passed all these tests with flying colors. Not only does UniqueHoodia use fresh, pure and 100% real hoodia gordonii but it is free from any contaminants, which makes it a safe product as well.
Hoodia gordonii is a natural plant appetite suppressant. It has no side effects and users report feeling good and maintaining normal levels of energy while using it, unlike other appetite suppressants. If you do want to try out pure hoodia gordonii, UniqueHoodia’s safe and pure 100% real hoodia gordonii is the one for you.
