Hoodia Gordonii- 5 Things You Must Look For Before Buying
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.
Some vendors will proudly display their lot numbers and results from a very respected lab, but the only way that you can be sure that this is indisputable proof of the product's potency is if the company permits random and ongoing, verifiable testing of the actual products that are sold to the public. This testing must be completely verifiable, and this should be done WITHOUT the vendor's exact awareness of whom, where, and when the products to be tested were purchased. The results of each test should be displayed directly on testing laboratories website.
Question #2 Purity? Is there an easy way to check to see if the hoodia product is made stricly from pure South African Hoodia Gordonii? There should be no additives or fillers.
There is a way that you can determine the purity of the hoodia. On the label, look under the "Supplement Facts" section of the label. Does it declare explicitly that there are no additives? It does this by placing the word "None" in the "Other Ingredients" block. If there is anything else other than "None" in that space, it's not pure hoodia gordonii.
Unless a manufacturer explicitly declares "Other ingredients" as "None," it can list any fillers and additives as "Other ingredients" and legally declare the product's full gross weight as being Hoodia gordonii. This is called the O.I. (Other Ingredients) label trick.
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.
With the new high compression encapsulation machines, it's not necessary to load up the capsules with fillers and additives- yet still be able to call it "pure". It might cost more to do so, but it's the right thing to do.
Now you know how to avoid this common "bait and switch" practice that the less than honorable companies use when they give the lab a "souped up" supposedly authentic sample, yet sell you, the consumer, a watered down product.
Question #3: Is the hoddia that you are wanting to purchase claim to be Hoodia Gordonii of South African origin, or just plain "hoodia"? There are more than 20 varieties of Hoodia known to man, and the only one that has been proven to reduce calorie intake in humans is the South African hoodia. If you see "Chinese Hoodia" for example, you should consider it counterfeit.
Question #4: Which part of the hoodia plant is the product made from? It should be made from the biologically active part of the Hoodia gordonii Succulent. You'll also need to know if the vendor uses only the peeled stem of the Hoodia gordonii plant.
Don't buy hoodia gordonii from a company that's using the "whole plant" or anything other than purely the "peeled stems". These would automatically contain atleast 50% less of the hoodia's active ingredients necessary for the effective suppression of appetite.
The active part of the plant is called P-57. This part- the peeled stem- is the part that you WANT- NOT the flowers, NOT the bark, NOT the root.
Question #5: How potent is the hoodia that you are planning to buy? Is it made up of the highest potentcy possible? This takes atleast 3 and a half years for the stems to grow before the farmers harvest them.
Hoodia that is milled from immature plants can test positve for hoodia, but yet still have very low levels of P-57 which is the ingredient that suppresses the appetite. Also, hoodia loses strength when it's kiln dried or in open sunlight. Also, potency is lost when the hoodia is milled above a certain micron level.
