Hoodia Gordonii Diet Pills Purity Review

Hoodia Gordonii is a popular herbal weight loss supplement sold in health food stores and online. Unfortunately, there are widespread reports that most hoodia pills and products are counterfeit or have been adulterated.

If you search online for Hoodia Gordonii pills, you’ll find hundreds of companies selling hoodia and cautioning you not to buy the competitor’s useless hoodia pills. Companies run the gamut from legitimate nutritional supplement companies to hucksters. How do you know if you’re getting the real thing?

Reports estimates that 80% of hoodia products on the market are counterfeit.

Counterfeit and adulterated hoodia gordonii products exist because the supply is scarce. Hoodia is a plant that is difficult to grow and takes four to five years in a very hot environment to mature. The Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) imposed trade controls on hoodia gordonii in October 2004. In order to be legal, hoodia plant must be grown or collected with a permit.

Another major problem is that it’s impossible to know if a hoodia diet pill contains pure hoodia and the purported active ingredient. But according to independent labs, there are no definitive, established tests for judging the quality of hoodia products at this time. Thats the reason they do not test hoodia products for now.

Even when companies can produce a certificate, some companies may have submitted a genuine sample of hoodia gordonii to the lab to obtain the seal of authenticity and then used adulterated hoodia in the production run.

Nutritional supplement companies might not even be aware that they are using fake or adulterated hoodia because they do not submit their hoodia pills for independent testing.

Phytopharm, the UK manufacturer that holds the license to hoodia’s purported active ingredient p57, claims that hoodia supplements on the market today contain between 0.1 and 0.01% of the claimed amount of the active ingredient, according to a CBS report.

The hoodia gordonii pills and hoodia products that have been consistently verified as pure hoodia, include the Hoodia Balance, the Hoodia Chaser, and the Hoodia Gordonii Plus.
