Hoodia Side Effects

What is Hoodia

If you have searched the web using just the term ‘hoodia’ you’ll know that you are bombarded by an assortment of companies ALL claiming to offer you the ‘genuine’ and ‘pure’ Hoodia Gordonii.

To the average internet user, this is just the news they have been looking for: easy access to a range of Hoodia products readily available to buy. But here’s the thing: 80% of the Hoodia Weight Loss products you are browsing through are fake.

Yep, all 8 out of 10 of them. And these are just the ones that willingly sent their product to Alkemist pharmaceuticals for testing.

In truth there are probably hundreds more out there that are not the real deal.

Why are so many of them considered to be fake? Doesn’t the ingredient list say it contains REAL Hoodia? In most cases this is true – however there is more to this story than just reading the ingredients list.

Point one: Which Hoodia plant has been used?

If you see a Hoodia product that DOESN’T identify what type of Hoodia it is, then you are more than likely looking at a supplement that contains the wrong type of Hoodia.

There are 13 types of Hoodia plant, but only the Hoodia Gordonii plant contains the active ingredient P57 that can effectively suppress your appetite.

 

 

Point two: What part of the Hoodia Gordonii plant has been used?

To those who don’t know much about how Hoodia Gordonii works, here’s a quick lesson.

Of the Hoodia Gordonii plant itself, only its aerial stem (the core) of the plant contains the active molecule P57. The rest of the plant – its leaves, flowers and roots – offer nothing in terms of weight loss.

So even if a company is claiming to be using 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii, this might not be strictly true if they are using the whole of the plant to make the supplement. If they are, you are probably only getting 60% of the plants active ingredient.

Point three: Are there any other ingredients?

This is where it gets a bit more complicated. Why? Because companies can claim to be using 100% Hoodia Gordonii on their label, whilst still not giving you a pure supplement.

As Hoodia Gordonii is an endangered species with limited harvests and exportations, many companies have chosen to incorporate other ingredients such as caffeine to save on costs and supplies.

The problem with this is that they are reducing your chances of achieving real weight loss, by reducing the effectiveness of the supplement. However by law, they are not actually doing anything wrong by claiming to contain pure Hoodia Gordonii.

What does this mean? You need to make sure you check the products ingredient list thoroughly before investing.

The only ingredients you should be seeing on your packaging is the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, and the ingredients used to make up its capsules: gelatin. Anything else on the ingredients list and you are not getting 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii.

Point four: Is it an extract?

No company who is honestly selling genuine Hoodia Gordonii is selling it as an extract. Why? Because all ‘extract’ means is that you are receiving only 60% of the plants core. The rest is a combination of fillers, caffeine or other inactive parts of the Hoodia Gordonii plant that will do nothing to suppress your appetite.

There is a reason why so many Hoodia supplements fail the tests – they have scrimped as much as they can in order to cut down on their costs. The problem is, many of them are able to get away with it because they do contain small quantities of the hoodia gordonii plant.

With this at their side, they are able to keep on lying to you.

So what do you do? The answer to this one is to keep these four points in mind, and make sure that your thoroughly check your chosen products ingredients list before you invest.

Do that and you can ensure you are always receiving the genuine article, each and every time.
