If you're looking for Pure Hoodia ... here's how to tell ...
If you've spent any time at all looking for pure Hoodia, you may be
feeling a bit confused!
To be honest, we were before we got involved selling Hoodia back in
2003.
What to watch out for when buying Hoodia:
-
Pure Hoodia has active P57 content. P57 is the
molecule in pure Hoodia that gives it strength. There are only two
companies that have tests to show P57 content. Both these companies
use a test made available by Phytopharm (the company that 'discovered'
how Hoodia works). Want pure Hoodia? Then you need
to see tests by Alkemists Pharmaceuticals or Chromodex. (Perfect
Hoodia™ use Alkemists to conduct independent
tests)
-
The best pure Hoodia products use whole powder.
Hoodia Gordonii, once grown, is harvested and dried. When it is sold
on to supplements manufacturers, it is generally sold as 20:1, Hoodia
powder. That simply means that 1mg of powder is equal to 20mg of
undried plant.
Some manufacturers use this 20:1 ratio and claim that their 20mg
per capsule supplement has 400mg of Hoodia in it!
The better supplements use full powder - so Perfect
Hoodia™ uses 400mg of full pure Hoodia
per capsule.
How can you tell the difference? Very simply, the
price. If it seems a bargain and cheap ... it's not pure Hoodia powder.
-
Pure Hoodia has CITES documentation. The CITES
document confirms that the Hoodia was obtained from Southern Africa.
The only Hoodia Gordonii that has been shown to contain the P57 molecule
is from Southern Africa.
Some companies are growing Hoodia in China, Texas and India. No one
has conducted tests to show that this Hoodia is as strong as pure
Hoodia from Southern Africa.
