Genuine Hoodia Diet Pill – Here you go..

As the Hoodia Diet pill market is dominated by many Cheap Fake Hoodia Products on the market, identifying a genuine Hoodia product has become close to impossible.

To help people to find out authenticity and legitimacy of any brand of Hoodia products and to help them make informed decisions we have made an effort to assemble all necessary information on certificates / document / report / things / factors that judge the genuineness of a Hoodia Supplement.

Following is the checklist to be verified to find a genuine Hoodia supplement

1.C.I.T.E.S Certificate

This is a certificate issued by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) to the Hoodia exporter in South Africa or Namibia. This certificate only means a specified exporter has exported specified amount of Hoodia Gordonii from the country”. To some extent the date on the certificate tells us freshness of Hoodia Gordonii in the pill, though that can not be fully relied upon. Nothing more. Read “CITES and Hoodia” for details.

Though CITES is the important document that must be verified, it does not tell us anything about any particular brand of Hoodia Products. It doesn’t tell us whether a brand of hoodia weight loss pills are produced using Hoodia or Hoodia Gordonii, which part of hoodia.. the list goes like this..

2.Product Label / Ingredients

Read the label, check for fillers/preservatives, and read the ingredients list of a Hoodia Product. Many companies will use fillers, caffeine and other addictives with Hoodia Gordonii. By doing this they try to save on real hoodia Gordonii content in the pill.

If you find Gelatin, magnesium stearate and stearic acid in ingredient list, just ignore. They are a must for making any tablet/capsules.

If it is a genuine Hoodia Product you will find ” Hoodia Gordonii Powder” as the only active ingredient in the pill.

No Hoodia supplement can be made of Hoodia Extracts. If you find any Hoodia product with ” Hoodia Gordonii extract” as ingredient, that is Fake.

3.Independent Laboratory Testing

You can not rely only on ingredient list as that also can be faked to fool desperate people wanting to lose weight. Moreover, it does not tell us which part of the Hoodia Gordonii Plant has been used in the pill.

Only a Hoodia pill made of core or aerial stem of Hoodia Gordonii Plant can suppress appetite, as it is the only part of the plant that has active molecule P57.

Laboratory testing is required to find out

  • Filler ingredients/ preservatives/ addictives if any (don’t go for products with these)
  • The amount of core Hoodia Gordonii powder or strength of the pill. Researches show that 1200-1600 mg of core Hoodia Gordonii Powder is enough to suppress appetite considerably. A genuine hoodia pill with 400-500mgs (taken 3-4 times daily) is more than enough for healthy weight loss.

Genuine Hoodia Diet pill sellers go for independent lab testing to boost the confidence of their customers. The most popular laboratory with strong reputation for independent testing of Hoodia Gordonii Pills is Alkemist Pharmaceuticals.

Check for reports and certificates issued by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals if any.

One more laboratory that tests Hoodia Pills is Certified Natural Laboratory (CNL) which is a manufacturer and packager of dietary supplements and health formulas. You can look for reports and certificates issued by this lab also.

4. Price

Very easier but powerful tool to find out fake Hoodia pills. Hoodia Gordonii is very scarce and costly. No company with real Hoodia can give free trial offers or can sell hoodia pills at cheap rate say at $20-$40.

If you find any Hoodia pills with1-2 months free trial offers and cheap hoodia pills, they are definitely fake.

5. Money Back Guarantee

Look for money back guarantee. A company selling genuine hoodia pill is more likely to give 3-9 months money back guarantee ( if you do not lose any weight with that pill) as it would more confident of the quality of the supplement.

6. User Reviews Online

Search for user reviews online in forums, yahoo answers.. to find out user experiences with any brand of hoodia pills. Though websites selling some brands of Hoodia manipulate these for their benefit, you can still search for them.

7. History of the company selling Hoodia product

As last precautionary step, research on the company selling diet pill. Most of the diet product manufacturers/ sellers sell more than one diet product. Find out the other products sold by them, that product’s / products’ credibility, complaints against the company etc.

If you research on all the above things, you will definitely end up with ordering a Genuine Hoodia Product. But to ease your work, to save your time we have already done this for you. On the basis of the above factors we have found top 10 genuine Hoodia Products on the Market.
