Buyers' Guide & Checklist

Hoodia gordonii Buyers Guide & Checklist - Now that the world knows that REAL Hoodia gordonii is a scarce and expensive succulent, it is important to note that this effective appetite suppressant is attracting scammers from all directions. It is critical that you take the time to study the checklist below before buying any hoodia product.

1) Hoodia Side Effects - When it comes to hoodia side effects there is very little to fear. Not only have all the major studies proven hoodia to be free of serious side effects, the South African government classifies hoodia as "food stuff", not a drug. Moreover, the South African natives (including the children and the elderly) have used hoodia for thousands of years without any known adverse side effects. It appears the only thing to be concerned about is if the hoodia is truly pure genuine South African hoodia. If so, hoodia side effects are non-existent.

2) Fake Hoodia Product Ranking Report - Unless it's from a genuine investigative journalist, beware of websites pretending to offer help in choosing the right hoodia product. Every website owner has to pay large sums of money to maintain their presence on the internet. None of them are willing to "offer help" out of the sheer "goodness of their hearts". Oftentimes they portray themselves as guinea pigs who have tried every hoodia product on the market, or as consumer advocates with Hoodia Product Rankings Reports who've done their own home-grown research. BEWARE, these are TRAPS waiting to ensnare you. It is merely a con game designed to mislead you. Simply put, these so-called "Consumer Advocates" and "Guinea Pig Researchers" are "full of it!" They are wolves in sheep clothing waiting to prey on unsuspecting buyers seeking fast information who are pressed for time. They will tell you they care about you. They will even provide you with pages of hoodia information, but truth is, they couldn't care less about you or about the side effects or ineffectiveness of the hoodia products they push. So long as they continue to receive a hefty commission, they'll tell you everything they can to make you buy.

3) The "Bigger Capsule Is Better" Trick - Similar to the above, some vendors will try to trick you by offering what appears to be "a lot of hoodia" in the form of a bigger capsule. BEWARE - companies selling these 750mg or larger capsules often do so to make up for the weakness of their product. They simply stuff the capsules with additives. In reality you may be getting just 100mg or less of hoodia in a capsule loaded with silica, cellulose and other fillers. To be sure you're getting what you pay for, insist on a label that says, "OTHER INGREDIENTS: NONE". When in doubt get the best — get the New and Powerful HOODOBA® PURE 750MG Capsule. With the original hoodia brand, you can't go wrong!

Hoodoba® is the Original Hoodia Brand that was featured on 60 minutes. it is made from the fully mature hearts of the Hoodia gordonii succulent — the part of the plant eaten by the South Africans for centuries to treat ailments (hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis...) and to stop unbearable hunger during long hunting trips.

4) The C.I.T.E.S, Permit, Bait and Switch Certificate Analysis Trick - It's also known that vendors are using real hoodia to acquire their certificates but later switching to useless or inferior hoodia in the manufactured products. Look for a hoodia company that voluntarily subjects itself to ongoing random testing by Alkemist Pharmaceutical - the only lab in the US capable of testing for real hoodia. Avoid vendors displaying C.I.T.E.S and certificates based on their own specimens. These certificates speak only to the specimens that were submitted for testing but not to the products they sell. If the products themselves are not subject to random periodic testing you're taking a big risk.

5) Use Your Common Sense - If the offer sounds too good to be true it most likely is! If a company offers 90 or more 400 mg capsules below $45 claiming they are 100% pure South African hoodia - BEWARE. Likewise, companies offering 60 or more 700 mg capsule) for less than $50 should raise immediate red flags. You just can't have it both ways. On one hand they tell you the price of REAL hoodia has skyrocketed (this is true), but on the other they're offering what are obvious unrealistic prices. Clearly, these vendors cannot be trusted and are best avoided.

Still it must be known, despite the crushing demand for this precious commodity and despite its ever increasing cost, dollar for dollar, nothing beats REAL hoodia when it comes to helping you lose weight. And, with the Original Hoodia Brand, the only one that is 100% additive-free, you simply can't go wrong.
