Hoodia Gordonii and Authenticity

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.

All About Authentic Hoodia

It is for a good reason that the 400 mg Hoodia gordonii has been termed a myth. It is clear that in these capsules there is much more than hoodia gordonii. Now when you don’t get the full dose of hoodia gordonii, you cannot expect the entire result either. When you aren’t getting 400 mg of hoodia gordonii, you cannot achieve total appetite suppression.

According to the latest studies, a daily dosage of 2250-3000 mg of hoodia gordonii will deliver total appetite suppression. Each tablet is said to contain 400 mg of hoodia gordonii. But do they all?  Some of them contain as little as 25 mg of hoodia gordonii and make up the remaining using other stuff.

Alkemist Pharmaceuticals which does most of the testing has often times found the contents of hoodia gordonii falling far short of target. This is despite claims made by manufacturers that they pack 400 mg of hoodia gordonii into each capsule. Has Alkemist Pharmaceuticals erred in their findings? Far from it. The producers of hoodia gordonii capsules are the ones who have been misleading buyers with their false claims.
 
All that needs to be done is look at the products in the market and compare their packaging and prices.   

Pure Hoodia Gordonii Extract packs 500mg into a capsule. This is possible only because they are using extracts from all parts of the plant, whereas only the core of the plant in powder form is of use. Spending money on this product will serve no purpose.
   
Hoodia Gordonii has 400 mg in each capsule. But at £18.49, it is just too cheap to be real. Here also you are being fobbed off with a fake product

100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii stuffs 700mg into each capsule. That sounds great until you look at its price which is a mere £24.99 for a 100 tablets. Even more astonishing is the fact that when you pick up one bottle, you get another one free. Is that possible? Not while hoodia gordonii is so expensive a stuff.   

You cannot go by the claims of manufacturers. What you need is proof in the form of certificates by capable laboratories. You need to make sure the product you buy has 400 mg of pure hoodia gordonii. 

That is what you get with UniqueHoodia. The dosage is right, and it has the backing of capable and reliable laboratories. Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and CNL have put the product through various tests and given their stamp of approval. For the sake of transparency, their certificates are on their websites.

UniqueHoodia contains 460 mg of pure hoodia gordonii in powder form. When you have this you get many benefits. Your calorie consumption falls by 2000 calories. You can feel safe in the knowledge that hoodia gordonii packs 10,000 times the power of glucose in suppressing appetite. With weight control your energy levels soar along with your self esteem. Its price of £37.92 is proof that this is a genuine product.

Authentic Hoodia

To get authentic hoodia today is quite a problem as the plant comes under the endangered species. With the growing demand for hoodia gordonii thanks in no small measure to the hype that has been created by the media, obviously there are a number of unscrupulous manufacturers who sell fake goodie under the guise of the real thing. The problem is, in the USA it is classified as a natural supplement and so is outside the purview of the FDA. Had it been a prescription drug, there would have been strict measures to ensure that every tablet of hoodia gordonii that was sold was the genuine hoodia and anything that violated this would have come under heavy litigation. Unfortunately, that is not the case with natural supplements.

To get authentic hoodia gordonii, manufacturers have to source it from the African governments where the plant is grown and the product has to have a CITES certification because the plant is an endangered species. Thanks to this, in the US too, the import and export of this product is regulated. However, manufacturers get over this by importing a small quantity, marketing the tablets or capsules as genuine hoodia gordonii and adding a whole lot of other herbs to the product. So the amount of pure hoodia is so miniscule that it might have no effect as a hunger suppressant at all. That means consumers are paying for no real weight loss effect at all.

If you want to buy the real thing, you need to look for certification from CITES as well as find out from other users – people you know or in forums online – whether or not a particular brand works. Only after you gather a bit of advice in this direction should you go out and spend money on hoodia gordonii diet pills. Otherwise you will really be throwing your money to the winds for all the benefit that you will get from these fake pills,

Research on these tablets have shown that at least half of what are available are not authentic hoodia gordonii. So it pays to be a bit astute and shrewd when it comes to buying any hoodia for your use. Do take the trouble to research and find out which brands are better and which brands have a consistent record of working well with people. If you are on a weight loss trip, you need to take the right products to achieve the amount of weight loss you have targeted and taking fake pills and hoping for the best is not the way to go!
