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?

Here’s why.

Some unscrupulous vendors will display their lot numbers and results from a lab considered to be very reputable. However, the only way to know that this is undisputable proof of the hoodia product’s potency is if the company permits ongoing, random and anonymous testing of the actual product that the consumer buys from them. This testing should be completely verifiable, and the testing should be done without the vendor knowing the exact place that the products were to be tested, , where purchased and when the products were tested. The results of each of these tests should be displayed right on the testing laboratory’s website.

Question #2 What about Purity? Does the company provide an easy way to check and verify that the hoodia products that they sell are made stricly from the pure South African Hoodia? The products should have no additives or fillers diluting the potency.

There is a way. To determine purity, look under the Supplement Facts section of the label. Does it explicitly declare the absence of additives by displaying the word “None” in the “Other Ingredients” block? If it says anything other than “None,” it isn’t pure Hoodia gordonii!

There is a trick known as the “O.I. (Other Ingredients) trick. Unless the manufacturer lists the other ingredients as “None”, then it can list other fillers and additives as “Other Ingredients” and they can legally say that the product’s full gross weight as being true Hoodia Gordonii.

The government allows the diet supplement industry the use of “flow agents” to help simplify the process of manufacturing them.

The use of silica, cellulose, magnesium stereate, etc. can be easily avoided. However, scammers know that simply by declaring them on their labels as “Other Ingredients,” they can exploit a gaping loophole in the law at the customer’s expense. Therefore, they continue to do so.

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: Does the place that you are wanting to buy the hoodia from claim it to be of South African origin, or just say “hoodia”? There are over 20 varieties of hoodia, but only the one from South Africa has been proven to reduce the caloric intake of humans. If you see “Chinese Hoodia” for example- I wouldn’t buy it.

Question #4- What part of the hoodia plant does the product come from? It should be made from the biologically active part of the Hoodia gordonii Succulent. You need to find out if the vender stricly uses the peeled stem from the hoodia gordonii plant.

Never buy Hoodia gordonii from companies using the “whole plant” or anything other than the peeled stems; such a product would automatically contain at least 50% less of Hoodia gordonii’s active constituents necessary for effective appetite suppression.

You don’t want the root, nor the flowers, nor the bark. The P-57 part of the plant- or “peeled stem” is the part of the hoodia plant that you want.

Question #5: Potency. Are you sure that the hoodia that you are buying is of the highest potency that’s possible? Does the company and/or it’s farmers cultivate the hoodia patiently for the best potency? This takes atleast 3.5 years before they harvest the stems.

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.
