Nothing but Pure, Genuine , Unaltered Hoodia Gordonii Imported from South Africa can be Effective as an Natural Appetite Suppresant.

You need to be very cautious when buying Hoodia, as many companies are selling products that contain little if any hoodia; these products may contain fillers, other plant products,starch,inactive ingredients, or even unsafe ingredients.

It is estimated that as many as 80% of the advertised hoodia supplements do not contain pure Hoodia. There have been countless reports over the past several years of counterfeit and adulterated products being sold as pure Hoodia.

Because Hoodia is difficult to grow, the supply is scarce, and Hoodia is quite expensive.

If a company advertises "discount hoodia supplements" or their prices are very low, you must be cautious that they are not selling the pure product.

Hoodia gordonii grows in the wild in the desert region of South Africa and on a small number of commercial farms in South Africa which are owned by private farmers but regulated and licensed by the government.

The plants take 5-6 years to grow and mature before they can be cultivated.

Hoodia gordonii is now registered as a protected species, and the governments of the South African countries where it grows have placed strict conditions and limitations on its sale and exportation.

Hoodia can be collected, harvested, and sold only with a permit from CITES (the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species). CITES is an international agreement formed between governments to ensure that the harvesting and sale of wild plants and animals does not threaten their survival.

What to watch out for when buying Hoodia Supplements

1). The first thing to look for when buying Pure Hoodia supplements is a Display of the CITES cerfificate on their website. If there is no certificate, the product is fake.

2). Only buy from Hoodia diet aide stores with a USDA protected plant permit.

3). More legitmate Hoodia stores will have a toll free number for questions and order; make sure there is a toll free number. Avoid hoodia stores without toll free number support.

4). Never buy from any SPAM emails you receive in your mail box. "SPAM Hoodia eMails" are notorious for selling bogus Hoodia diet aides."

5). Avoid products claiming to contain large amounts of hoodia extract in each pill or dosage. They are either making false claims or have been dramatically diluted with fillers

6). Avoid products being sold at cheap prices. Real South African hoodia gordonii is very expensive

7). Try not to buy products that come in the shape of patches, gum, tea, coffee and shakes. They do not work that well, unless other ingredients like vitamins are added.

8). Try before you Buy! Make sure to get a free trial, before investing your hard earned money into some product you do not even know will work for you.
