There are many Hoodia products on
the market these days and of course you want the best Hoodia product
for you and your diet. Before you buy Hoodia and spend your hard
earned dollars you need to know some facts. South African
Hoodia Gordonii is where it all started and when the authentic
extract comes from. Do not buy anything that is not pure Hoodia
Gordonii or you will simply be wasting your money. You may see some
Hoodia products that are 20:1 or does not show you the exact
contents. These are products to stay away from.
You need to be buying products
that display full information and that you know you can track back
to it's original producer in South Africa. Many people have bought
Hoodia products only to find out that it is mostly rice products.
Most Hoodia Gordonii sold on the internet are nothing but products
filled with an unidentified product. It could be starch, rice
powders and in some case people have even discovered sawdust. This
is just outright fraud. In recent years with the popularity of
this plant it has become almost extinct.
There are still a few farms that
are licensed to grow it which is making it a very exclusive
commodity. Due to this short supply and due to the popularity of
this new miracle substance, more and more companies are popping up
and filling their bottles with just about anything. Beware.
Most products being sold contain absolutely no Hoodia Gordonii when
they are subjected to laboratory tests. Scams and bogus companies
are all over the internet and there are thousands who are quite
willing to pay $25 - $50 for a product that will do no good. This
makes it even more important that you check the source of the
product you are buying. Hoodia Gordonii is a very rare
botanical and is exclusive to only South Africa.
One company, Phytopharm owns the
patent for a method of extracting Hoodia Gordonii. They have their
own private farms and in South Africa there are currently only 5
farms who are authorized to grow Hoodia Gordonii and they are
supplying the general public. There is only one company in the
United States that is buying from these 5 farmers. Use this
information to help you choose the best product and avoid all the
internet scams that are popping up everywhere. Learn how to spot the
real from the fake and you and your money will be much better off
and you will get the desired results in the end.. |
