Over the past few years, Hoodia has been heavily exploited in the diet market. There are over 40 different species of Hoodia, but only Hoodia Gordonii contains the ingredient to suppress appetite. When purchasing Hoodia to use as a dietary supplement, make sure that the product includes Hoodia Gordonii. All other forms will not do the job of suppressing your appetite.



One large problem with the popularity of Hoodia is that the demand for the product far outweighs the supply of it. Because the product can only be grown in one region of the world, and the harvest period is close to 5 years, Hoodia Gordonii has become close to extinct. In response to this, the South African government has stepped in and severely limited the amount of Hoodia Gordonii that can be harvested and exported.





Do not buy any Hoodia Gordonii unless it is certified. The two certificates it needs to contain are the Convention in International Trade of Endangered Species (C.I.T.E.S.) Certificate and the Protected Plant Permit. Hoodia Gordonii Plus is 100% CERTIFIED.



Alkemists Pharmaceuticals ran a study that has shown over 50% of all advertised Hoodia products do not actually contain any Hoodia Gordonii at all. Due to the popularity of the product and how well the actual product works in helping to keep people from being hungry, there are many fraudulent products on the market. Please make sure when youre purchasing that the producer can document where the ingredients came from.



Hoodia Gordonii Plus works by imitating the effect that glucose has on nerve cells in the brain, and it manages to trick the brain into thinking it doesnt crave further glucose. This ingredient, patented as P57, convinces the brain that it isnt hungry. Hoodia Gordonii Plus will suppress your appetite, and more importantly it will suppress your need to eat because you wont feel hungry.
